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 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 ...

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

Introduction The current standard treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is prompt reperfusion through primary percutaneous coronary intervention. However, myocardial infarction ...

Background Anaemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both established risk factors for bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These conditions often coexist; however, ...

Aims Four-dimensional flow cardiovascular MRI (4D flow CMR) has emerged as a promising technique for assessing aortic stenosis (AS). This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between 4D flow CMR and ...

Objective Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new technology of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). This research is to investigate the feasibility of a new strategy (transoesophageal ...

Aims Mavacamten, the first approved myosin inhibitor for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), addresses hypercontractility and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.

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 ...

Parsimonious versus extensive bleeding score: can we simplify risk stratification after percutaneous coronary intervention and reduce bleeding events by de-escalation of the antiplatelet strategy?

Background The circadian variation pattern of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurred in Chinese community including both community healthcare centres and primary hospitals remains unknown. This study ...

Background Pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cardiovascular risk factors have been associated with an increased risk of complications following hospitalisation with COVID-19, but their ...
