The assessment and management of patients with type 2 myocardial infarction: an international Delphi study Open
Aims Type 2 myocardial infarction due to myocardial oxygen supply–demand imbalance is associated with poor outcomes. There are no guidelines to inform care for these patients. The consensus on the assessment and management of type 2 myocar…

Chest pain patterns and coronary microvascular function in non-obstructive coronary artery disease Open
ANOCA patients with exertional CP demonstrated worse microvascular function than those with resting CP, with endothelium-independent CMD showing a significant prognostic impact. Exertional CP patients may benefit more from treatment strate…

Role of Biological Age in the Determination of Long‐Term Cause‐Specific Death Following Percutaneous Coronary Interventions Open
Background We tested whether biologic age, as estimated by deficits, functional impairments, or Age‐Gap or their combination, provide improved estimation of cause‐specific death as compared with chronological age. Methods Cardiovascular an…

Prevalence of coronary microvascular disease in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease Open
Background Six percent of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) have MI with non-obstructed coronary artery disease (MINOCA). Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) is common in angina with non-obstructive coronary artery…

Genotype-Phenotype Taxonomy of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Open
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cause of sudden cardiac death associated with heterogeneous phenotypes, but there is no systematic framework for classifying morphology or assessing associated risks. Here, we q…

A genotype-phenotype taxonomy of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cause of sudden cardiac death associated with heterogeneous phenotypes but there is no systematic framework for classifying morphology or assessing associated risks. Here we quan…

Interaction Between Race and Income on Cardiac Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Open
Background Compared with White Americans, Black Americans have a greater prevalence of cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention. We evaluated the association between race and neighborhood income on post–percutaneous coro…

26 The prognostic role of epicardial adipose tissue in aortic stenosis: insights from a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study Open
Introduction Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a biologically active type of visceral fat between the pericardium and the myocardium. It is thought to have both cardioprotective and harmful functions but what mechanisms regulate this bala…

Contemporary approaches to bifurcation stenting Open
Bifurcation lesions are common and associated with higher risks of major cardiac events and restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Treatment requires understanding of lesion characteristics, stent design and therapeutic…

Institutionalizing an Evidence-Based Practice in a Selected Government Agency in Nigeria Open
The need to tackle the discrepancy between research outputs and the execution of the findings into real practice is a crucial factor in establishing evidence-based practice in a selected government agency. There is a need to increase the n…
View article: Incidence, Trends, and Outcomes of Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in a Community Cohort
Incidence, Trends, and Outcomes of Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in a Community Cohort Open
Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) occurs because of an acute imbalance in myocardial oxygen supply and demand in the absence of atherothrombosis. Despite being frequently encountered in clinical practice, the population-based…
View article: Prevalence and Clinical Factors of Migraine in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
Prevalence and Clinical Factors of Migraine in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Open
Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a cause of acute coronary syndrome predominantly in women without usual cardiovascular risk factors. Many have a history of migraine headaches, but this association is poorly unde…

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy—Past, Present and Future Open
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy with a prevalence of 1 in 500 in the general population. Since the first pathological case series at post mortem in 1957, we have come a long way in its understand…

Building Blocks of Structural Intervention Open
Structural heart disease is a rapidly evolving field, and approaches to procedural training are not standardized. We describe a novel modular approach to procedural training that considers each procedure as a series of building blocks that…
