Background Differentiating cardiac from non-cardiac acute chest pain poses a diagnostic challenge, especially in primary care. The History, ECG, Age, Risk factors and Troponin level (HEART) score aid ...

Background Long-term outcome of contemporary myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) has not been assessed systematically.Objective To evaluate the association between results of MPS and long-term ...

Background Systemic right ventricle (sRV) patients are at an increased risk of developing heart failure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) could be a valuable treatment option. This ...

Objective This meta-analysis aims to compare the clinical outcomes of the no-touch (NT) and conventional (CON) vein harvesting techniques in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting ...

Background The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has significantly impacted cardiology by enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Coronary artery ...

In the field of invasive treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), the past two decades have been characterised by the ...

Background Myocarditis is a rare but potentially serious complication of COVID-19 vaccination. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging can identify cardiac scar ...

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and risk of cardiac events differ between women and men during the lifespan. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the impact of sex and age on plaque ...

Objectives Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be beneficial to patients following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and open surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). We aimed ...

Objectives This study aimed to establish a prediction model that incorporates the radiomic features of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after ...

Background The alert-based HeartInsight algorithm predicts risk of worsening heart failure hospitalisations (WHFHs) by evaluating temporal trends of seven physiologic parameters obtained through ...
