Objective Functional complete revascularisation (FCR) has been proven to be associated with superior prognosis following ...

Background Surgical ablation (SA) is a key treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing heart surgery. However, direct comparisons between SA and non-mitral valve (non-MV) surgery alone ...

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare defect representing approximately 0.5% of all congenital heart disease. ccTGA is characterised by the combination of ...

Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) is present when the effective orifice area of the inserted prosthetic valve is too small in relation to body size. Its main haemodynamic consequence is to generate ...

Objectives Most patients with hypertension require more than one drug to attain recommended blood pressure (BP) targets. Initiating therapy with two agents is recommended for patients at high risk of ...

Objectives To develop a tool including exercise electrocardiography (ExECG) for patient-specific clinical likelihood estimation of patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).

Objective We retrospectively analysed outcome data from the Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis (SEAS) study to assess the incidence and potential risk factors of sudden cardiac death (SCD) ...

### Learning objectives In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge of heart valve disease (HVD) epidemiology, how it has changed over time and possible future trends. There are large ...

Background Atrial fibrillation(AF) may be linked to increased sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk, but patients with AF are often neglected in studies on ECG risk factors for SCD. We aimed to clarify the ...
