Background Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective To develop and validate a 10-year predictive model for cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CVMD) risk using ...

Introduction Atrial fibrosis identified on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been proposed as a preprocedural ...

Background Patients with single-ventricle physiology are often palliated with the Fontan operation, which may involve the ...

Background Left ventricular mass (LVM) is suggested to be a sensitive predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as ...

Background Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a severe and fatal complication of uncorrected congenital heart disease characterised ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and CT imaging plays a crucial role in its diagnosis and management. However, the clinical use of CT is ...

Because serum magnesium does not reflect intracellular magnesium, the latter making up more than 99% of total body magnesium, most cases of magnesium deficiency are undiagnosed. Furthermore, because ...

Background The life-long exposure of the left heart chambers to systemic blood pressures may be important to changes in left atrial (LA) function with age, but long-term follow-up studies are scarce.

Objective To test the effectiveness of an impedance cardiography (ICG) guided treatment strategy on improving blood pressure (BP) control in real-world clinical practice. Design A single-centre, ...

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increased risk of stroke. Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke, but AF is elusive. A machine learning algorithm (Future ...

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and risk of cardiac events differ between women and men during the lifespan. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the impact of sex and age on plaque ...
