Breaking the Cycle of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Atrial Fibrillation
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and AF are two of the most common cardiovascular conditions encountered in daily practice, and are leading causes of hospitalisation and adverse patient outcomes.1,2 Both conditions have increasing prevalence and pose a growing burden on global healthcare systems. They share common risk fac... (Source: Radcliffe Cardiology)

Multimodality Imaging in Valvular Structural Interventions
Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most prevalent valvular diseases and the most common indication for valve intervention.1 AS leads to an increase in left ventricular (LV) compliance, LV and left atrial (LA) filling pressures, and a reduction of LV contractility and cardiac output.2 In parallel, subendocardial ischaemic damage and fibrosis contribute to pump failure.3 In aortic reg...

Highlights of Acute Coronary Syndromes
FRAME-AMI
This multicenter open-label trial conducted at 14 sites in Korea included 563 patients with acute MI (AMI) and multivessel disease who had successful revascularisation of the infarct-related artery (IRA). Patients were randomised to undergo non-IRA revascularisation with either fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with FFR ≤0.80 (the FFR group; n=284)...

British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Consensus Position Statement on Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest 2: Post-discharge Rehabilitation
More than 31,000 people were treated by emergency services following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in England in 2020; of these, just over 8% were successfully resuscitated and discharged alive from hospital. This is in line with comparable data from other European countries, and despite prog... (Source: Radcliffe Cardiology)

British Cardiovascular Interventional Society Consensus Position Statement on Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 1: Pathway of Care
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant challenge for the National Health Service (NHS). In England in 2019, ambulance services responded to over 80,000 cardiac arrest calls, of which 31,146 subsequently received treatment.1 The incidence of cardiac arrest was 56.5 per 100,000, with a median age 70.4...
