AbstractAims. Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) detects myocardial scarring, a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias (VAs)
AbstractAims. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) impair cardiac repolarization and prolong the QT interval and may potentially be proarrhythmic. However, risk of out

Abstract. A significant proportion of patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation and are in need of thromboembolic protection are not treated with oral antico
AbstractBackground. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is common in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). CA
AbstractBackground and Aims. Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) are commonly observed in light chain card
Abstract. Incorporating biomarkers into cardiovascular studies, including nursing research, is a common approach when identifying underlying mechanisms and prov
AbstractBackground. Early detection of congestion has demonstrated to improve outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients. However, there is limited-access to invas
AbstractAIMS. By combining temporal changes in left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) with LV volume, LV strain-volume loops can assess cardiac
