Routine transthoracic echocardiography in ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack of undetermined cause: a prospective multicentre study
CONCLUSIONS: This multicentre cross-sectional study in patients who-after workup on contemporary stroke units-were diagnosed with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack of undetermined cause found TTE-detected major CSE in only 1% of all patients. Most of these patients also had major ECG abnormalities. These findings question the value of routine TTE assessment in this clinical setting.PMID:37870709 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01819-7 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Impact of implementing Dutch versus European guideline risk factor targets in older patients with ischaemic heart disease
CONCLUSION: In patients aged > 70 years with IHD, implementation of European targets resulted in a greater gain of event-free years compared with Dutch targets, especially in patients with poorer risk factor control. The considerable number of patients with missing risk factor documentation suggested additional opportunities for risk reduction.PMID:37870710 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01823-x (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Digoxin-specific antibodies: a novel dosing strategy
Neth Heart J. 2023 Oct 20. doi: 10.1007/s12471-023-01814-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDigoxin-specific antibodies (digoxin-Fabs) are of value in the treatment of a strongly suspected or a known, potentially life-threatening digoxin toxicity. These antibodies are not registered for use in Europe; therefore Dutch hospital pharmacies are not allowed to keep them in stock. In the Netherlands, digoxin-Fabs are stored in a national calamity stock of emergency medicines at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. In the case of a medical emergency, digoxin-Fabs are available after contact with the Dutch P...
