Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used for aortic valve replacement instead of surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR). We aimed to examine the impact of diabetes on 30-day mortality, 30-day readmission and compare outcomes between TAVR and sAVR. Methods Data were extracted from the Nationwide Readmissions Database from 2012 to 2017.

Purpose We examined whether end-to-end deep-learning models could detect moderate (≥50%) or severe (≥70%) stenosis in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA) or left circumflex artery (LCX) in iodine contrast-enhanced ECG-gated coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans. Methods From a database of 6293 CCTA scans, we used pre-existing curved multiplanar reformations (CMR) images of the LAD, RCA and LCX arteries to create end-to-end deep-learning models for th

Written by Pendell Meyers An adult man presented with acute chest pain. He appeared critically ill. He had undergone stenting of the LAD several weeks ago (unclear whether elective for stable symptoms, or in response to acute coronary syndrome). Here is his triage ECG: Here is the digitized version with higher image quality: He was rushed to the resuscitation area for "unstable VTach.

Background and aims Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has various aetiologies, including genetic conditions like Fabry disease (FD), a lysosomal storage disorder. FD prevalence in high-risk HCM populations ranges from 0.3% to 11.8%. Early diagnosis of FD is crucial due to available treatments, but its rarity and diverse symptoms complicate identification.

Background Visual assessment of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is time-consuming, influenced by reader experience and prone to interobserver variability. This study evaluated a novel algorithm for coronary stenosis quantification (atherosclerosis imaging quantitative CT, AI-QCT). Methods The study included 208 patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing CCTA in Perfusion Imaging and CT Coronary Angiography With Invasive Coronary Angiography-1.

Background The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, radiation exposure and costs. However, the efficacy and safety of these approaches remain unclear.

Introduction Conductive disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation remain a major concern after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aims To assess the impact of aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) on conductive disturbances requiring PPM after TAVI. Methods All patients who underwent TAVI with accessible AVCS from the preprocedural CT scan report were included in this retrospective single-centre study.

Background The role of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not well understood despite its significance as a second messenger of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between the NP-cGMP cascade and left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) in anterior AMI.
