Differences in predictors of incident heart failure according to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease status.
ESC HEART FAILURE - 01 Dec 2023
Heart failure (HF) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality, related to a broad range of sociodemographic, lifestyle, cardiometabolic, and comorbidity risk factors, which may differ according to the presence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We assessed the association between incident HF with baseline status across these domains, overall and separated according to ASCVD st...

Omics insights into extracellular vesicles in embryo implantation and their therapeutic utility.
PROTEOMICS - 01 Mar 2023
Implantation success relies on intricate interplay between the developing embryo and the maternal endometrium. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent an important player of this intercellular signalling through delivery of functional cargo (proteins and RNAs) that reprogram the target cells protein and RNA landscape. Functionally, the signalling reciprocity of endometrial and embryo EVs regulat...
Self-reported walking pace: A simple screening tool with lowest risk of all-cause mortality in those that 'walk the talk'.
JOURNAL OF SPORTS SCIENCES - 01 Mar 2023
To determine whether the association between self-reported walking pace and all-cause mortality (ACM) persists across categories of accelerometer-assessed physical activity status. Data from 93,709 UK Biobank participants were included. Physical activity was assessed using wrist-worn accelerometers for 7-days. Participants accumulating <150 min/week moderate-to-vigorous- activity were classed a...
Myocarditis: causes, mechanisms, and evolving therapies.
EXPERT OPINION ON THERAPEUTIC TARGETS - 01 Mar 2023
Myocarditis is a severe lymphocyte-mediated inflammatory disorder of the heart, mostly caused by viruses and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Recently, myocarditis as a rare adverse event of mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 has caused global attention. The clinical consequences of myocarditis can be very severe, but specific treatment options are lacking or not yet clinically proven.This paper ...

JACC. CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Mar 2023
Standard measures for the clinical assessment of right atrial (RA) function are lacking.In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the authors sought to report a reference range for RA deformation parameters in healthy subjects and to identify factors that contribute to reported variations.The authors conducted a comprehensive search of MEDLINE; MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citation...
Australian Atherosclerosis Society Position Statement on Lipoprotein(a): Clinical and Implementation Recommendations.
HEART, LUNG & CIRCULATION - 01 Mar 2023
This position statement provides guidance to cardiologists and related specialists on the management of adult patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Elevated Lp(a) is an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). While circulating Lp(a) levels are largely determined by ancestry, they are also influenced...
Higher power short duration vs. lower power longer duration posterior wall ablation for atrial fibrillation and oesophageal injury outcomes: a prospective multi-centre randomized controlled study (Hi-Lo HEAT trial).
EUROPACE : EUROPEAN PACING, ARRHYTHMIAS, AND CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY : JOURNAL OF THE WORKING GROUPS ON CARDIAC PACING, ARRHYTHMIAS, AND CARDIAC CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY - 16 Feb 2023
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with the risk of oesophageal thermal injury (ETI). Higher power short duration (HPSD) ablation results in preferential local resistive heating over distal conductive heating. Although HPSD has become increasingly common, no randomized study has compared ETI risk with conventional lower powe...
A high-sucrose diet exacerbates the left ventricular phenotype in a high fat-fed streptozotocin rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. HEART AND CIRCULATORY PHYSIOLOGY - 01 Feb 2023
Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is an early, clinically detectable sign of cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that precedes the development of symptomatic heart failure. Preclinical models of diabetic cardiomyopathy are essential to develop therapies that may prevent or delay the progression of heart failure. This study examined the molecular, structural, and functional cardiac...
Three-dimensional echocardiography of the athlete's heart: a comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Feb 2023
Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is the most accurate cardiac ultrasound technique to assess cardiac structure. 3DE has shown close correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in various populations. There is limited data on the accuracy of 3DE in athletes and its value in detecting alterations during follow-up. Indexed left and right ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVED...

We compared those with type 2 diabetes aged 15 and above...
Current Applications of Robot-Assisted Ultrasound Examination.
JACC. CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Feb 2023
Despite advances in miniaturization and automation, the need for expert acquisition of a full echocardiogram, including Doppler, has restricted access in remote areas. Recent developments in robotics, teleoperation, and upgraded telecommunications infrastructure may provide a solution to this deficiency. Robot-assisted teleoperated ultrasound examination can aid medical diagnosis in remote loca...
