OBJECTIVE Dysglycemia, in this survey defined as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes, is common patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and associated an unfavorable prognosis. This European investigated dysglycemia screening risk factor management of CAD relation to standards guidelines for cardiovascular subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Society Cardiology’s Observational Research Programme (ESC EORP) Action on Secondary Primary Prevention by Intervention Reduce...
Abstract Aims The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has created significant challenges to healthcare globally, necessitating rapid restructuring of service provision. This questionnaire survey was conducted amongst adult heart failure (HF) patients in the United Kingdom (UK), understand impact COVID‐19 upon HF services. Methods and results by Pumping Marvellous Foundation, a UK patient charity. ‘Survey Monkey’ used disseminate Foundation 's online group 10 hospitals (outpatient...
ABSTRACT Aims The management of congestion is one the key treatment targets in heart failure. Assessing is, however, difficult. purpose this study was to investigate safety and dynamic response a novel, passive, inferior vena cava (IVC) sensor chronic ovine model. Methods results A total 20 sheep divided into three groups were studied acute vivo settings. Group I II included 14 with 12 receiving two control device (IVC filter). III an additional six animals for studying responses volume...
To estimate the incremental cost of implementing policies for intensive control blood glucose concentration and pressure all patients with type 2 diabetes in England.
Remote monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure has reduced heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in chronic HF as elevation provides information that can guide treatment. The venous system is characterized by high capacitance, thus substantial increases intravascular volume occur before filling pressures increase. inferior vena cava (IVC) a highly compliant conduit and candidate for early detection change volume. We aimed to compare IVC cross-sectional area using novel sensor with cardiac...
Variations of inferior vena cava (IVC) area and collapsibility serve as early markers congestion predict risk for heart failure (HF) events. The aim this first-in-human study (FUTURE-HF [First in Human Clinical Investigation the FIRE1 System Heart Failure Patients]) was to evaluate safety feasibility a novel implantable IVC sensor remote management patients with HF. This paper is final report on primary (3-month) exploratory (6-month) endpoints. Patients HF hospitalizations within previous...
Background In the past 3 decades, arterial switch procedure has replaced atrial as treatment of choice for transposition great arteries. Although survival is superior after procedure, data on pregnancy outcomes are scarce and arteries not yet included in modified World Health Organization classification maternal cardiovascular risk. Methods Results The ROPAC (Registry Pregnancy Cardiac disease) an international prospective registry pregnant women with cardiac disease, part European Society...

Ebsteins anomaly accounts for less than 1% of all congenital cardiac defects. Whilst typically characterised by dysfunction and anatomical defects the right ventricle tricuspid valve, it often co-exists with other Less frequently outflow tract obstruction may arise associated haemodynamic effects symptoms. In particular there are few reports in literature left ventricular obstruction. We believe this is because symptomatic as presenting complaint condition exceptionally rare. report on a 17...
