Defective biological activities of high-density lipoprotein identify patients at highest risk of recurrent cardiovascular event Open
Aims Low cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and elevated levels of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) are both associated with residual cardiovascular risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and may be used as new biomarkers to identify …

Deep learning-based segmentation and strain analysis of left heart chambers from long-axis CMR images Open
Aims Feature tracking (FT) is increasingly used on dynamic cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images for myocardial strain evaluation but often requires manual initialization, which is tedious and source of variability, especially on the cha…

Changes in absolute coronary flow and microvascular resistance during exercise in patients with ANOCA Open
Saline-induced hyperaemia provided a valid surrogate for exercise physiology independently of the absolute level of CFR and MRR, although exercise provided more granularity to evaluate adaptation among participants with exercise-related CM…
View article: Incidence and determinants of non-radial vascular approach for coronary angiography among heart transplant recipients
Incidence and determinants of non-radial vascular approach for coronary angiography among heart transplant recipients Open
Background Repeated coronary angiograms may be required among heart transplant (HT) recipients to detect coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV), exposing to higher risk of non-radial vascular approach over time. Objective To describe the in…

Early versus delayed introduction of renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors in cardiogenic shock Open
Background There is currently no recommendation on the appropriate timing of introduction of renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) in patients admitted with cardiogenic shock. Purpose To describe the timing of introductio…
View article: Detection of cardiac arrhythmias following acute coronary syndrome using a connected continuous rhythm monitoring device
Detection of cardiac arrhythmias following acute coronary syndrome using a connected continuous rhythm monitoring device Open
Background The incidence of cardiac arrhythmias following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not well-known. Purpose To describe the incidence of clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmias following low-risk ACS, using a connected continuous rh…
View article: Impact of transfusion strategy on platelet aggregation and biomarkers in myocardial infarction patients with anemia
Impact of transfusion strategy on platelet aggregation and biomarkers in myocardial infarction patients with anemia Open
Background Higher rates of thrombotic events have been reported in myocardial infarction (MI) patients requiring blood transfusion. The impact of blood transfusion strategy on thrombosis and inflammation is still unknown. Objective To comp…
View article: Have the ESC guidelines improved the identification and prevention of individuals at risk of premature myocardial infarction?
Have the ESC guidelines improved the identification and prevention of individuals at risk of premature myocardial infarction? Open
Background Over the last 20 years, the proportion of young patients admitted for MI has increased. It is unknown whether the 5-year changes in ESC/EAS guidelines and the new SCORE2 can improve the detection and treatment of individuals at …
