Background Pocket haematoma is a common complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures and may lead ...

Background Fabry disease (FD) is an X linked lysosomal disorder with ventricular myocardial involvement that drives morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be difficult.

Objectives Non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterised by a highly variable disease progression. Stress echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are beneficial in ...

Background Anomalous coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ACAPA) is a very rare congenital anomaly that often occurs during infancy. Patients can present in a critical condition. Methods We ...

Background The utility of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide revascularisation in the management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. Objective This study aims to compare the clinical ...

Background The minimally important difference (MID) for frailty variation associated with adverse outcomes remains unknown in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and ...
