Long-term outcomes following double kissing crush or mini-culotte stenting for complex coronary bifurcation lesions: the EVOLUTE-CRUSH IV study
CONCLUSION: At long-term follow-up, the rates of TLF and MACCE were 17.4% and 20%, respectively. However, long-term TLF was significantly higher in patients treated with MCT than those treated with the DKC technique, primarily due to a more frequent occurrence of clinically driven TLR.PMID:38656396 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-024-05244-3 (Source: Herz)

Use of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with heart failure in primary care in Germany: the AURORA-HF noninterventional study
CONCLUSION: In patients with symptomatic HFrEF treated in primary care, the group in whom Sac/Val was initiated was characterized by a higher NYHA class and lower LVEF compared to patients in whom Sac/Val was not initiated. Sac/Val was well tolerated, with a high proportion completing 1 year of therapy.PMID:38656397 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-024-05248-z (Source: Herz)

Association between lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography
CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that elevated lipoprotein(a) had no obvious relationship with hypertension and obesity. Elevated lipoprotein(a) increases the risk of high total cholesterol, high LDL‑c, and premature CAD, and increases the occurrence and severity of coronary heart disease.PMID:38658408 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-024-05247-0 (Source: Herz)

The new ESC acute coronary syndrome guideline and its impact in the CPU and emergency department setting
Herz. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.1007/s00059-024-05241-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe new guideline on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) replaces two separate guidelines on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation (NSTE) ACS. This change of paradigm reflects the experts view that the ACS is a continuum, starting with unstable angina and ending in cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest due to severe myocardial ischemia. Secondary, partly non-atherosclerotic-caused myocardial infarctions ("type 2") are not integrated in this concept.With respect to acute care in the...
