Prognostic implications of stress test-induced arrhythmias: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Methods Relevant studies examining arrhythmia in both exercise and pharmacological stress testing were searched for in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases from inception to 14 June 2023. The primary outcomes of interest were mortality in ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, and later diagnosis of cardiac disease in atrial arrhythmias.

Impact of serum iron levels on in-hospital mortality and clinical outcomes in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective analysis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Background Despite advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in-hospital mortality remains a concern, highlighting the need for the identification of additional risk factors such as serum iron levels. μmol/L) and a control group (Fe ≥7.8 μmol/L). μmol/L).

HDAC9 Inhibition as a Novel Treatment for Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 54, Issue 12 , Page 3182-3189, December 1, 2023. The identification of a variant in theHDAC9gene as a risk factor for large-artery atherosclerotic stroke, and subsequently coronary artery disease, has opened novel treatment pathways for stroke and more widely atherosclerotic disease.
