Background The limited availability of balloon sizes for cryoballoon leads to anatomical limitations for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. We conducted a comprehensive systematic analysis on procedural success rate, atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence rate and complications of cryoballoon ablation in association with the anatomy of the left atrium and PV based on preprocedural CT to gain insights…

Mashup Score: 3Women leaders: transforming the culture in cardiology - 2 year(s) ago
Hellen Taussig persisted despite dyslexia, deafness and gender discrimination. In 1924, she was one of the 10 women accepted to Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and later led development of the Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt and founding of paediatric cardiology. In 1965, she became the first woman president of the American Heart Association (AHA), 41 years after its foundation. More than 50 years…

Mashup Score: 7Protecting against sedentary lifestyle, left atrial enlargement and atrial fibrillation - 2 year(s) ago
Physical inactivity in contemporary obesogenic environments induces cardiac maladaptations, which causes a higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).1 Light-to-moderate physical activity (PA), however, is associated with a lower incidence of AF.1–3 Conversely, the long-term practice of strenuous endurance exercise increases the risk of AF in younger, middle-aged and older populations, particularly…

Mashup Score: 4Impact of prior oral anticoagulant use and outcomes on patients from secondary analysis in the AUGUSTUS trial - 2 year(s) ago
Objective Managing antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging and can be affected by prior oral anticoagulant (OAC) treatment. We examined the relationship between prior OAC use and outcomes in the AUGUSTUS trial. Methods This prespecified secondary analysis is from AUGUSTUS,…

Background Pulse pressure (PP), a raw index of arterial stiffness, is inversely related to coronary microvascular function, even among patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), as per non-invasive studies. We aimed to determine whether invasive aortic PP is associated with coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction (CMED) and/or coronary microvascular endothelial…

Objective To estimate the population prevalence and treatable burden of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in the UK. Methods We adapted a contemporary model of the population profile of symptomatic and asymptomatic severe AS in Europe and North America to estimate the number of people aged ≥55 years in the UK who might benefit from surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve…
