View article: Association between temperature and air pollutants with atrial fibrillation presentations to emergency departments
Association between temperature and air pollutants with atrial fibrillation presentations to emergency departments Open
Introduction Understanding the impact of environmental exposures on disease incidence is important for environmental guidelines, health services management, and advising patients. We aimed to assess the relationship between daily mean temp…

The burden of atrial fibrillation on emergency medical services: A population-based cohort study Open
EMS utilisation for AF is common and associated with frequent reattendance. Further studies are required to investigate novel pathways of care to reduce AF burden on healthcare systems.

Agreement between direct Fick and bolus thermodilution measurements of cardiac output during right heart catheterisation and the impact on haemodynamic classifications Open
Background/Introduction When measuring cardiac output (CO) during right heart catheterisation (RHC), both direct Fick (DF) and bolus thermodilution (TD) methods are endorsed by pulmonary hypertension (PH) guidelines (1). Agreement between …

Virtual cardiac hospital in the home following cardiac surgery delivers superior patient outcomes, reduces costs, and increases bed availability Open
Introduction Increasing patient complexity and unprecedented bed access constraints are important challenges in contemporary delivery of post-operative cardiac surgical care. Bed constraints lead to inefficient ICU discharge, excessive hos…

Delivery of virtual acute cardiac care- a pilot study Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background The increasing incidence of chronic conditions, along with the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, put unprecedented capacity restraints on hospital bed access. New models of care are req…

Late recurrence of atrial fibrillation and flutter in patients referred for elective electrical cardioversion Open
Aim The primary aim was to ascertain long-term rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in this all-comer patient population undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (DCR). Secondary aims included procedural DCR success, clinical p…

Supplementary Material for: Atrial Tachyarrhythmias and Stroke: Temporal Relationship and Stroke Subtypes Open
Background and Purpose: Research into the temporal relationship between atrial tachyarrhythmias (atrial tachycardia [AT] and atrial fibrillation [AF]) and stroke has produced conflicting findings. Systematic categorization of stroke subtyp…

Two‐year outcomes from the <span>MitrAl</span> ValvE Re <span>paIr</span> Clinical ( <span>MAVERIC</span> ) trial: a novel percutaneous treatment of functional mitral regurgitation Open
Aims We report the 2‐year outcomes of the MitrAl ValvE RepaIr Clinical (MAVERIC) trial. Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with poor outcomes for which there remains an unmet clinical need. ARTO is a transcatheter annular …

Transcatheter reshaping of the mitral annulus in patients with functional mitral regurgitation: one-year outcomes of the MAVERIC trial Open
The ARTO transcatheter mitral valve repair system is both safe and effective in decreasing FMR up to one year post procedure.

Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation and Long-Term Risk of Stroke in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation Open
Background and Purpose: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the commonest cardiovascular complication following liver transplantation (LT). This study sought to assess a possible association of POAF with subsequent thromboembolic e…
Plasma desmosine, a biomarker of elastin degradation, predicts outcomes in coronary artery disease Open
Background Recent evidence from animal studies suggests that elastin degradation accelerates atherosclerosis and increases risk of plaque rupture and subsequent myocardial infarction and stroke. Desmosine is an elastin-specific degradation…

The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) Is Associated with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Open
Soluble RAGE is elevated in Caucasian patients with AF, and both sRAGE and esRAGE predict the presence of persistent AF.
