Eliminating Health Disparities: What Can We Learn from the Veterans Health Administration?
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has declined by more than 70% in the United States (U.S.) with over a 78% reduction in coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths since 1968.(1) Despite these remarkable improvements, it is well-established that not all populations benefit equally.(2,3) African Americans have higher all-cause and CVD mortality as well as increased CHD and stroke incidence compared to their white counterparts (Table 1).(2,4,5).

Developments in the management of Chagas cardiomyopathy.
Authors: Tanowitz HB, Machado FS, Spray DC, Friedman JM, Weiss OS, Lora JN, Nagajyothi J, Moraes DN, Garg NJ, Nunes MC, Ribeiro AL Abstract Over 100 years have elapsed since the discovery of Chagas disease and there is still much to learn regarding pathogenesis and treatment. Although there are antiparasitic drugs available, such as benznidazole and nifurtimox, they are not totally reliable and often toxic. A recently released negative clinical trial with benznidazole in patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy further reinforces the concerns regarding its effectiveness. New drugs and new delivery systems, incl...

A new variation of dual left anterior descending coronary artery
We report a new variation of dual LAD which has not been reported previously and coronary computed tomography angiography helped to characterize this anomaly. Our case further expands anatomical variations of dual LADs.>

Transient occlusion of the right coronary artery by a calcific bicuspid aortic valve mass – An interesting case of inferior STEMI
We report the case of a myocardial infarction caused by transient occlusion of the right coronary artery, secondary to a mobile calcified lesion attached to a bicuspid aortic valve. <Learning objective: The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the importance of echocardiography in patients presenting with an acute myocardial infarction, without significant coronary artery disease. Urgent echocardiography in this case ensured identification of a calcified bicuspid valve and mobile lesion that had transiently occluded the right coronary artery. Subsequent urgent surgery ensured an excellent outcome.>

Carotid artery stenting
Learning objectives After reading this article the reader should:Know the appropriate diagnostic workup for patients with carotid artery disease. Be able to put in perspective, based on strengths and limitations, the results of randomised trials comparing carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. Be able to identify patients that may benefit from carotid artery stenting. Introduction In western countries, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases.1 Carotid artery disease may be responsible for 10–15% of all ischaemic strokes.2 Randomised contro...

Abstract 150: Machine Learning Methodology Predicts Comorbidities are Associated With Increased Total Healthcare Costs Among Patients With Severe Peripheral Artery Disease Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In this study, the presence of chronic ulcers in the lower extremities and CKD were two factors most predictive of increased all-cause total HC in a geographically diverse population of severe PAD patients.

Modern prevention: genetic testing, vascular imaging, machine learning, and drug safety
Traditionally, prevention has been divided into primary and secondary prevention. While the former focused on individuals considered healthy, the latter was designed to avoid future events in those who already had coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, or stroke.1 However, this distinction is no longer useful, as many asymptomatic individuals do have atherosclerotic lesions such as plaques and calcifications upon modern imaging, and not all subjects with suspected symptoms have atherosclerotic vascular disease.2 –4 This Focus Issue on Prevention addresses these important issues. In a firstCurrent Opinion entitle...

Learning and Teaching Electrocardiography in the 21st Century: A Neglected Art
It is now over a century since the introduction of electrocardiography (ECG) by Willelm Einthoven in 1902 [1,2]. The ECG is probably one of the most commonly used test in clinical practice, and, unlike many other clinical tests, the ECG results are available immediately. This is important for an emergency condition where an immediate decision should be made such as in the case of acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Professor Hein Wellens stated that, “Worldwide, approximately 3 million ECGs are made daily.
