Background Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is a disease process driven by inflammation and lipid infiltration, serving as a ...

Background The Fontan procedure is associated with long-term cardiac and non-cardiac complications and early mortality. Recent data suggest that some fibrosis scores may offer prognostic insight for ...

Background Socioeconomic disparities are associated with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in older populations, but evidence in young adults is limited. We investigated the association between income ...

Background Sinoatrial node dysfunction and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist, and each potentially initiates or perpetuates the other. Consequently, genetic risk factors for AF may be associated ...

Objective Although the factors associated with short-term survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are well established, relatively little is known about the factors that influence ...

Objective More knowledge about the development of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the general population is needed to develop meaningful predictors of SCD. Our aim with this study was to estimate the ...

Objective To explore the genetic landscape of a well selected dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cohort, assessing the possible relation between different genotypes and left ventricular reverse remodelling ...

Objectives Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce heart failure (HF) in at-risk patients and may possess antitumour effects. We examined the effect of SGLT2i on HF and mortality ...
