Nearly 200 million people around the globe have coronary heart disease, which accounts for about one in every six deaths, according to the British Heart Foundation. That's why the recent and rapid rise in wearable electronic health-monitoring devices with heart rate-measuring electrocardiograms (ECG) represents a significant step forward. By detecting cardiovascular ailments and helping assess overall cardiac health, wearable ECGs save lives, not to mention exorbitant hospital care costs.

Background It is unclear how COVID-19 pandemic affected care and outcomes among patients who are diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the USA. Methods We analyzed the data from National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2020 and assessed the impact of COVID-19 infection and the COVID-19 pandemic (year 2020) on in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs.P Results There were 1 050 905 hospitalizations with STEMI, and there was an 8.2% reduction in adm

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. But we must always remember that most genetic risk factors are probabilistic rather than deterministic in terms of risk. Subscribe now The distinction here is crucial, as most of the early work on genetics and risk has led us astray.

By detecting cardiovascular ailments and helping assess overall cardiac health, wearable electrocardiograms save lives, not to mention exorbitant hospital care costs. Researchers now present a novel wearable electrocardiogram patch for enhanced point-of-care diagnostics. The study focused on the advantages of using active dry electrodes for ECG signaling, and they created a compact, lightweight, gel-free hexagonal-shaped ECG patch.

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a major disease in our society that often presents with multiple comorbidities with mutual interaction and aggravation. The comorbidity of HF and stroke is a high risk condition that requires particular attention to ensure early detection of complications, efficient diagnostic workup, close monitoring, and consequent treatment of the patient.

ABSTRACT Aims There are few prospective reports of 1-year outcomes for women with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). We report findings from the European Society of Cardiology EURObservational Research Programme PPCM Registry. Methods and results The registry enrolled women from 51 countries from 2012 to 2018. Eligibility included: (i) a peripartum state, (ii) signs or symptoms of heart failure, (iii) left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ≤45%, (iv) exclusion of alternative causes of heart fail

This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heart failure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life. Leveraging on the development of alternative modes of rehabilitation delivery with the COVID-19 pandemic, we provide a contemporary evidence base to demonstrate patient outcome benefits of ExCR programmes whether
