Very High Risk of Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Indonesian Patients with Established Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a major health problem and a leading cause of death worldwide.1 The number continues to rise in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia, which has the fourth largest population worldwide and is the most populated country in Southeast Asia.2 –3 Premature deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD), including CHD and st...

Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common disease, and the tricuspid valve (TV) is no longer a ‘forgotten valve’. Open heart surgery for isolated TR is uncommonly performed due to high operative risk (8–10% mortality).1,2 However, TR is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.3 There exists an unmet clinical need for less invasive interventions to treat TR. A wide variety of t echnologies has been developed in recent years,... (Source: Radcliffe Cardiology)

Gaps in Modern Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease Research
Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) often coexist, and the prevalence of both conditions is increasing. Forty-nine per cent of HF patients also have CKD, and an estimated 17 –21% of CKD patients develop de novo HF.1,2 Each condition is independently associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and these effects are compounded by each other.3 This is due to the kidney’s interdependent and ...

Comment on ‘Leadless Pacemakers: Current Achievements and Future Perspectives’
Transvenous Pacemakers
The prevalence of pacemaker implantation is rising globally with over one million implantations annually.1 An ageing population combined with an expanding array of indications is proje cted to fuel pacing demand further.
The transvenous pacemaker consists of a small generator implanted subcutaneously that is connected to electrical leads that fix to the cardiac chambers. Th... (Source: Radcliffe Cardiology)

Leadless Pacemakers: Current Achievements and Future Perspectives
Permanent pacemakers (PPMs) have undergone rapid advancements in technology since their initial inception in the 1950s, with improvements to reduce generator size, increase battery life and quality, refine pacing algorithms and ensure lead fidelity. Despite these technological advances, the two points of weakness for the transvenous system remain the lead and the subcutaneous pocket, which can cause severe com... (Source: Radcliffe Cardiology)
