High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I for cardiovascular risk stratification in apparently healthy individuals
Hellenic J Cardiol. 2023 Sep 22:S1109-9666(23)00182-3. doi: 10.1016/j.hjc.2023.09.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTroponin I and T as cardiac-specific biomarkers are highly useful tools not only in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes but also as independent predictors of several other clinical conditions. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays allow the detection of considerably low concentrations of cardiac troponin in apparently healthy and asymptomatic individuals, being a candidate tool for cardiovascular risk stratification in the general population. A group of Greek experts summarized the bulk of ...

Comprehensive Diagnostic Work Up In Patients With Suspected Heart Failure And Preserved Ejection Fraction
Hellenic J Cardiol. 2023 Sep 22:S1109-9666(23)00184-7. doi: 10.1016/j.hjc.2023.09.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can be challenging and it could require different tests, some of which are affected by limited availability. Nowadays, considering that new therapies are available for HFpEF and related conditions, a prompt and correct diagnosis is relevant. However, the diagnostic role of biomarker level, imaging tools, score-based algorithms, and invasive evaluation should be based on the strengths and weaknesses of each test. The aim of this review is to ...

Efficiency of Optimal Fluoroscopic Projection Angle defined by Computed Tomography Angiography for Left Atrial Appendage Closure
CONCLUSION: By unfolding the LAA depth and orifice diameter to a better view, OPA demonstrated the potential to optimize LAAC procedural efficiency, although further larger-scale studies are required to confirm this.PMID:37717695 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.09.009 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Cardiology)
