Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common condition that poses several challenges from the standpoints of diagnosis and therapeutic management. While several studies have explored the role of blood biomarkers in assessing the severity and risk of progression of VHD, as well as in evaluating related cardiac damage and ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, with 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. These countries are characterized by rapid urbanization, poorly funded health systems, poor access to prevention and treatment strategies, and increasing age and a higher prevalence of chronic ...
Acute right ventricular failure is a complex and rapidly progressive clinical syndrome, whereby the right ventricle fails to provide adequate left ventricular preload, dilates, and causes systemic venous congestion. Previous research in acute heart failure has primarily focused on the left ventricle. Yet, the need for a ...
Background and Aims Nuclear receptors (NRs) are involved in cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Dosage-sensitive sex reversal, adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome, gene 1 (Dax1) is a co-repressor of several protective NRs. However, whether Dax1 influences atherosclerosis remains unclear. ...
Background and Aims No tools are available for identifying patients with chronic kidney disease and Type 2 diabetes at high risk of hyperkalaemia. Using the FIDELITY pooled patient data set, a risk model for incident hyperkalaemia was developed and validated. Methods The primary outcome was new-onset hyperkalaemia (serum ...
Background and Aims Earlier studies evaluated the association between systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) measured during a single period and risk of health outcomes. This study expanded upon existing evidence by examining the association between changes in SBPV over time and clinical outcomes in primary care ...
Background and Aims Hypertension is the predominant modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. This cohort study assessed the association of risk with the percentage of time that the ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is within the target range (PTTR) proposed by the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for blood ...
Background and Aims Pregnancy in women with a prosthetic heart valve is considered high risk, primarily due to the need for effective anticoagulation. However, data on the relationship between anticoagulation practices and pregnancy outcomes are very limited. Methods The Registry of Pregnancy and Cardiac disease is a ...
Background and Aims Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with progressive mitral regurgitation (MR) requiring surgical correction. A subset of patients with MVP experience ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has been reported as a risk factor. This study aimed to assess the long-term ...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a relatively rare but life-threatening systemic infection, which remains associated with high morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology of IE has shifted to involve an increasing numbers of older patients with both cardiovascular and other types of prosthetic devices, multiple comorbid ...
