The aim of this study was to compare the costs a noninvasive cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-guided strategy versus 2 invasive strategies with and without fractional flow reserve (FFR).Coronary artery disease (CAD) is major contributor public health burden. Stress perfusion CMR has excellent accuracy detect CAD. International guidelines recommend as first step testing patients in stable condition known or suspected However, nonadherence routine clinical practice high.In EuroCMR (European...
Background: Although disopyramide has been widely used to reduce left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOTO) and improve symptoms in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), its use real world as well patient characteristics associated a positive treatment response are still unclear. Methods: From 1980 2021, 1527 HCM were evaluated 372 (23%) had LVOTO active follow-up. The efficacy safety of assessed systematically during 12 months (2-, 6-, 12-month visits). Responders...
Summary We aimed to determine the association between autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (anti-apoA-1 IgG) and prevalent cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) as well markers of CV risk in general population. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 6649 subjects (age 52.6 ± 10.7 years, 47.4 % male) population-based CoLaus study. CVD was defined myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, percutaneous revascularisation or bypass grafting for ischaemic heart stroke transient attack, assessed...
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is vital, but claustrophobia affects 10% of patients. The metaverse, an immersive virtual and augmented reality environment, has healthcare potential. We present a metaverse-based CMR simulation for claustrophobic
Abstract Background Conduction system pacing, which includes His bundle pacing and left branch area (LBBAP), is becoming increasingly common in clinical practice. introduced over two decades ago, continues to see growing use, while LBBAP gaining traction due its broader target shorter procedure times. However, complications such as septal perforation lead-related issues may still arise. This case report explores the evaluation management of recurrent syncope context bifascicular block (BFB),...
Abstract Background Echocardiographic grading of mitral regurgitation (MR) relies on the interpretation both quantitative and qualitative parameters. Contemporary societal guidelines suggest a diagnostic approach that primarily favors parameters.1 We aimed to assess accuracy such an in comparison by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods Patients with primary were assessed transthoracic transesophageal echocardiography (TTE, TOE), as well resonance. Mitral was considered severe if...
Abstract Background Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is heterogenous, ranging from localized disease to diffuse bi-leaflet involvement in Barlow myxoid degeneration. regurgitation (MR) may be or diffuse, holosystolic end-systolic, depending on the morphology. We aimed compare diagnostic accuracy of effective regurgitant orifice by conventional 2D PISA (ERO) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with 3D vena contracta area (3D-VCA) transoesophageal (TOE) patients and MVP. Methods Patients MVP...
The European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend a systematic search for diagnostic clues or 'red flags' (RFs) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) to better tailor disease management. To date, the prevalence and clinical significance RF associated HCM phenotypes different settings are unknown. study cohort comprised 818 diagnosis [479 (62%) males, mean age 49 ± 21 years] referred four centres. Pre-specified RFs were categorized into one five domains: (i) family history;...
Abstract Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) continues to expand with increasing applications and technological advancements. Growing evidence on the clinical utility of CCT necessitates evaluating how this knowledge is incorporated into European Society Cardiology (ESC) American College (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. We aimed provide a comprehensive comparison indications between ESC ACC/AHA guidelines identify areas consensus divergence in current landscape utilization....
Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (anti-apoA-1 IgG) have emerged as an independent biomarker for cardiovascular disease and mortality. However, their association with all-cause mortality in the community, well genetic determinants, not been studied.To determine whether anti-apoA-1 IgG: (a) predict general population (b) are associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) a genome-wide study (GWAS).Clinical, biological, data were obtained from population-based, prospective CoLaus...
The role of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in clinical decision-making by reclassification risk across American College Cardiology/American Heart Association guideline-recommended categories has not been established.To examine the utility CMR for patients without a history coronary artery disease (CAD) who presented with suspected myocardial ischemia.A retrospective, multicenter cohort study median follow-up 5.4 years (interquartile range, 4.6-6.9) was conducted at 13...
Wideband phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) enables myocardial scar imaging in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) patients, mitigating hyperintensity artifacts. To address subendocardial visibility challenges, a 2D breath-hold single-shot electrocardiography-triggered black-blood (BB) LGE sequence was integrated with wideband imaging, enhancing scar-blood contrast.
