Impact of recurrent COVID-19 disease waves on acute myocardial infarction epidemics: results from a regional network
Conclusion: COVID-19 related public containment measures resulted during the first wave in a 32% reduction of AMI hospitalisation, but this impact was not visible anymore during the second wave.PMID:38563518 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2327147 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Heart surgery waiting list management in an ultra-peripheral region: impact of a risk-stratified queuing method
CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar occurrences of adverse events on the waiting list, longer waiting times for patients in the Urgent group increase their risk of adverse events. The priority level had no impact on outcomes. Chronic kidney disease and open-heart surgery were independent predictors for events, highlighting their significance in the triage process.PMID:38529843 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2330029 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Effect of empagliflozin on left ventricular volumes in type 2 diabetes or prediabetes heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction
CONCLUSIONS: Empagliflozin is effective in reducing LV volumes and hospitalisation rate in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and HFrEF. Therefore, treatment with empagliflozin for six months was associated with a significant reduction in adverse cardiovascular outcomes in these patients.PMID:38511517 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2240130 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)
