Mashup Score: 1Should we be screening people with diabetes for atrial fibrillation? Exploring patients’ views - 1 year(s) ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes are increasingly prevalent worldwide, both increasing stroke risk. AF can be detected by patient-led electrocardiogram (ECG) screening applications. Understanding patients’ views around AF screening is important when considering recommendations, and this study explores these views where there is an existing diagnosis of diabetes. Nine semi-structured…

Ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG) monitoring is a common cardiovascular investigation. Traditionally, this requires a face-to-face appointment. In order to reduce contact during the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated whether drive-by collection and self-fitting of the device by the patient represents an acceptable alternative. A prospective, observational study of consecutive patients…

Mashup Score: 3Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on ST-elevation myocardial infarction presentation and survival - 2 year(s) ago
Presentation and outcomes of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may change during viral pandemics. We compared symptom-to-call (STC), call-to-balloon (CTB), door-to-balloon (DTB) times; high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTnI) levels; and survival of patients (n=39) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (defined as a ‘COVID period’ starting four weeks before lockdown)…

Mashup Score: 1Atrial fibrillation prevalence and predictors in patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional screening study - 2 year(s) ago
Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes is increasing worldwide. Diabetes is a risk factor for AF and both increase stroke risk. Previous AF screening studies have recruited high-risk patient groups, but not with diabetes as the target group. This study aims to determine whether people with diabetes have a higher prevalence of AF than the general population and investigate whether…

Mashup Score: 1
Heart failure (HF) is increasingly common and incurs a substantial cost, both in terms of quality and length of life, but also in terms of societal and economic impact. While significant gains are being made in the therapeutic management of HF, we continue to diagnose most patients when they are acutely unwell in hospital, often with advanced disease. This article presents our experience in…

Worth looking at this ‘intervention’ for an integrated #heartfailure pathway by @CarysBarton @BrJCardiol Question is, is there now a scalable, efficient method for identifying undetected & suboptimally managed cases (akin to our #FINDAF )? https://t.co/Ahaeuo1yt6 https://t.co/dfFHxO1EcQ
