A range of effective medical and non-medical interventions are available for treating peripheral artery disease, so why are major adverse cardiovascular and limb outcomes still so prevalent?
New data from a large international trial confirm that patients with acute coronary syndrome have better outcomes if PCI if guided by intravascular ultrasound rather than angiography.
SGLT2 inhibitors may reduce the risk for dialysis, heart failure and myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
Watch Dr. Anne Marie Valente present the last year's highlights in pediatric and congenital heart disease in the official ACC.24 Year in Review session.
A man receiving abiraterone for prostate cancer developed severe hypokalemia, which led to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. It is important to consider iatrogenic causes in cases of arrhythmia.
How should you react to an acute MI immediately after a craniotomy for tumor resection? Management of such patients requires carefully balancing the competing risks of myocardial ischemia and postoperative bleeding.
Obesity is a multifaceted condition, with an increasing incidence and prevalence worldwide [ 1 ]. Treatment options for obesity are currently limited, and the condition is associated with a higher risk of dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus …
Atherosclerosis is a progressive, diffuse, systemic disease with a complex pathophysiology. Myocardial infarction is typically caused by rupture or erosion of a lipid rich coronary plaque, leading to a thrombosis cascade and abrupt vessel …
Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the management of patients experiencing acute coronary syndromes (ACS), driven by the emergence of novel therapeutic interventions and refined care strategies, proven effective in …
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease, and cardiac involvement is the most frequent cause of death from this condition [ 1 ]. While the majority of cases with systemic sarcoidosis show a self-limiting process that only affects the lung and …
An expert-led symposium exploring the most pertinent issues in cardio-oncology, with a focus on the new ESC guidelines. Highlights include preventative approaches in cardio-oncology, toxicity risk-stratification strategies, the clinical management of myocarditis as an adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor-treatments, and the utility of biomarkers in long-term follow-up of cardiovascular disease risk in cancer patients.
The incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) have been growing over the last several decades [ 1 – 6 ]. HF of origin has become increasingly common because of the improved survival of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) [ 1 , 7 …
Prospective benchmarking of an observational analysis against a randomized trial increases confidence in the benchmarking process as it relies exclusively on aligning the protocol of the trial and the observational analysis, while the trials …
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease, and cardiac involvement is the most frequent cause of death from this condition [ 1 ]. While the majority of cases with systemic sarcoidosis show a self-limiting process that only affects the lung and …

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex and heterogeneous disorder characterized by a low-cardiac output state, resulting in a condition of life-threatening end-organ hypoperfusion and often culminating in multi-organ failure [ 1 ].
New data from a large international trial confirm that patients with acute coronary syndrome have better outcomes if PCI if guided by intravascular ultrasound rather than angiography.
