BACKGROUND: The management of heart surgery waiting list is essential, particularly in ultraperipheral regions. We aimed to characterise a cohort of patients awaiting surgery in such a region, and to assess the occurrence of adverse events and causative factors. METHODS: A retrospective, multicentre analysis from 2016 to 2020. Patients were divided into "Urgent group" vs "Priority group" based on surgical priority. A composite outcome of death or hospital admission was determined...

OBJECTIVE: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, such as empagliflozin are antidiabetic drugs that have recently been reported to have cardio-protective action; however, their effect on cardiac structure and function in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has not yet been determined. This study evaluates the efficacy of empagliflozin on left ventricular (LV) volumes in type 2 diabetes or prediabetes patients with HFrEF. METHODS: This randomised, double-blind, trial study was conducted on 104 patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes with HFrEF referred to Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) represents a pivotal advancement in the management of severe aortic stenosis, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgical valve replacement. Despite its widespread adoption, the complexity of TAVI procedures, especially in high-risk anatomical scenarios such as valve-in-valve interventions, necessitates ongoing educational support for operators. This article explores the implementation of a virtual proctoring system for complex TAVI procedures, evaluating its feasibility, educational value, and impact on procedural success and safety...

BACKGROUND: The potential influence of tinnitus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality has yet to be explored. We aim to examine the correlations between tinnitus and the risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study utilising data from the UK Biobank. The presence of tinnitus was evaluated through a questionnaire. The primary outcome was defined as a composition of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and mortality from CVD, as well as all-cause mortality...

BACKGROUND: this study was designed to analyse patient outcomes using a combination of PCI and exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation compared with PCI alone. METHODS: PCI can improve the survival rate of patients with coronary artery disease, but it can also cause vascular endothelial cell injury, thrombosis, and even restenosis. Early cardiac rehabilitation exercise is crucial for patients with coronary heart disease after PCI. Five databases were examined for randomised controlled trials involving early cardiac rehabilitation exercise and standard treatment in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI...

BACKGROUND: Lipid-rich plaque covered by a thin fibrous cap (FC) has been identified as a frequent morphological substrate for the development of acute coronary syndrome. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) permits the identification and measurement of the FC. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been approved for detection of coronary lipids. AIMS: We aimed to assess the ability of detailed OCT analysis to identify coronary lipids, using NIRS as the reference method...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to uncover the diagnostic value of circRNA (Circ)_0051386 in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and its predictive value for the occurrence of adverse major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). METHODS: This study included 166 patients with STEMI and 83 health donors. The expression levels of serum Circ_0051386 in these participants were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)...

AIM: Left atrial (LA) strain, a novel marker of LA function, reliably predicts diastolic dysfunction. SGLT2 inhibitors improve heart failure outcomes, but limited data exists regarding their use in the immediate aftermath of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We studied the effect of empagliflozin on LA strain in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ACS. METHODS: Patients with ACS and T2D were identified and empagliflozin was initiated in eligible patients prior to discharge...

Purpose: Exercise intolerance and dyspnoea are clinical symptoms in both heart failure (HF) reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which are suggested to be associated with musculoskeletal dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that HFrEF + COPD patients would present lower muscle strength and greater fatigue compared to compared to the COPD group. Methods: We included 25 patients with HFrEF + COPD (100% male, age 67.8 ± 6...

There is need for a better preoperative risk assessment for TAVI candidates. AIM: To determine whether Tumour necrosis factor-alfa (TNFα) is an independent predictor of survival 500 days after TAVI. METHODS: Sixty patients undergoing TAVI were enrolled in the study. TNFα was determined...
