Background Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated that premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular ...

Objectives National dietary guidelines were introduced in 1977 and 1983, by the USA and UK governments, respectively, with the ambition of reducing coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality by reducing ...

Objective We explored cardiac volumes and the effects on systolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (HCM LVH+) and genotype-positive patients ...

Vitamin K has important functions within the body, some of which are still being discovered. Research has shown that vitamin K is an anticalcification, anticancer, bone-forming and insulin-sensitising ...

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the most commonly used among blood pressure-lowering drugs worldwide, despite the absence of sound evidence of effectiveness in large and unbiased clinical ...

Objective To update the Cochrane systematic review of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for heart failure. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was ...

Background Differentiating cardiac from non-cardiac acute chest pain poses a diagnostic challenge, especially in primary care. The History, ECG, Age, Risk factors and Troponin level (HEART) score aid ...

Aim To systematically evaluate whether relationships between cardiac rehabilitation participation and clinical outcomes, return to work, or knowledge about cardiovascular disease vary across ...

Objective This study aims to compare aortic morphology between repaired coarctation patients and controls, and to identify aortic morphological risk factors for hypertension and cardiovascular events ...

Aims To evaluate the effect of combining real-time deep learning (DL)-based guiding and automated measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumetric measurements and strain. Methods and results Patients ...

Aim We examined the diagnostic accuracy of single-lead ECG as assessed by radiographers and 12-lead ECG as assessed by cardiac nurses for the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Based on ...
