Background Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Introduction Atrial fibrosis identified on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been proposed as a preprocedural ...

Objective To develop and validate a 10-year predictive model for cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CVMD) risk using ...

Background Left ventricular mass (LVM) is suggested to be a sensitive predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as ...

Background Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a severe and fatal complication of uncorrected congenital heart disease characterised ...

Background Heart failure (HF) is not included in atrial fibrillation (AF) bleeding risk prediction scores, reflecting uncertainty regarding its importance as a risk factor for major haemorrhage. We ...

Background Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to an increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and potentially right heart failure in healthy individuals and patients with respiratory diseases.

Background Coronary artery vasospasm is an abnormal spasm of coronary arteries that cause transient or complete occlusion without exertion. It causes stable angina to ACS. However, this can be ...

Background The main aim was to examine age-specific risk factor associations with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and their attributable fraction in a large European cohort. Additionally, we aimed ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and CT imaging plays a crucial role in its diagnosis and management. However, the clinical use of CT is ...

Objectives Peak exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different SBP patterns at the ...
