The causal effect of cancer and cancer therapies on the development of heart failure is well known, but what about the other way around? Explore the evidence for the pathophysiological pathways linking tumor growth with heart failure.
A case of suspected primary aldosteronism that was complicated to diagnose because severe hydronephrosis meant the patient's aldosterone-to-renin ratio values were normal.
Patient presenting with chest tightness and dyspnea after surgery for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture. Multi-organ embolism was identified caused by bone cement leakage.
Two-hour post-load glucose is better at detecting dysglycemia and predicting cardiovascular events than HbA1c in patients with coronary artery disease.
This patient presented with right thigh swelling, fever, new-onset left hemiplegia, and seizures 18 months after kidney transplant. Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis with metastatic brain abscesses was diagnosed.
Obesity is a recognized risk factor for VTE, but what is the current understanding of VTE in people living with obesity, their clinical needs, and the therapeutic challenges they face?
Symptoms of Refsum disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa, usually present in late childhood and adolescence, but cardiac manifestations are frequent in the late course of the disease.
How does MASLD influence cardiovascular health? Discover how the interplay affects traditional risk factors, and how imaging techniques and biomarkers can help diagnosis, management, and prevention of CVD in patients with MASLD.
When a patient presents with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute renal failure or neuropsychiatric symptoms after complicated cardiac surgery, TTP should be suspected. Make sure you know how to rapidly diagnose and treat this life-threatening emergency.
Severe cardiomyopathy presenting 20 years after anthracycline treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma during early adulthood. The patient's worsening heart failure was successfully managed with multidrug treatment with add-on vericiguat and ivabradine based on quadruple therapy.

A case of severe stress cardiomyopathy, identified during the postoperative wake-up period, in a patient with scoliosis and pectus excavatum who underwent spinal corrective surgery.
Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation commonly experience major complications, including acute brain injury. How should you monitor these patients to prevent ABI, and manage ABI if it occurs?
How do metabolic syndrome, its components, and related diseases impact bone quality, and what is the latest view on the contribution made by bone-derived cytokines?
Raised levels of ketone bodies can signal cardiac dysfunction. Could these be a new biomarker for staging of heart failure, or even a therapeutic target?
An overview of latest advances and future directions for management of pericardial effusions, including use of advanced imaging tools and guidance for managing needs of complex cases such as PAH.
