Objective To assess associations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with patient profile, resource use, cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in stable patients post-myocardial infarction ...

Objective There is paucity of data on optimal medical treatment, including use of beta blockers for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The study aimed to investigate ...

Objective As thoracic aortic disease (TAD) is generally asymptomatic, biomarkers are needed to provide insight into early progression. We aimed to examine the association between circulating blood ...

Objective To assess the potential impact of reduction in salt intake on the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature mortality in Cameroon. Methods Using a multicohort proportional ...

Objectives Peak exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different SBP patterns at the ...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is common and results in significant increases in hospital stay and financial encumbrance. Objective Determine ...

Objectives A home-based tool for heart failure (HF) patients, was evaluated in a specialist setting as a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and also in a validation cohort in a primary care setting in ...

Objective To estimate the population prevalence and treatable burden of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in the UK. Methods We adapted a contemporary model of the population profile of symptomatic and ...

Background Among patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), myocardial inflammation and fibrosis are risk factors for poor clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated the combined prognostic value of ...

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which signs and symptoms of heart failure (HF) occur despite a normal left ventricular ejection ...

Objective To document UK rates of exercise treadmill testing, functional stress testing and CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Specific aims were to determine how rates have changed in the context of ...

Objectives Tricuspid valve disease is increasingly encountered, but surgery is rarely performed in isolation, in part because of a reported higher operative risk than other single-valve operations.
