Background Previous research has suggested a heightened risk of acute myocarditis after COVID-19 infection. However, it is not clear from existing work whether this risk is higher than would be expected after comparable viral respiratory infections. This information is important to guide risk assessments and clinical practice. Methods A retrospective cohort study of US administrative health claims was conducted to compare the rates of myocarditis after COVID-19 with that after influenza infectio

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. 80 to 90% of early heart disease is preventable. I want to show you how. The most common reason someone comes to see me is to answer two questions: Am I at risk of heart disease? What do I need to do about it? Fundamentally, people want to get a proper risk assessment and put a plan in place to reduce any risk they have.

Objective To evaluate the impact of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) on stroke and operative mortality after coronary and/or valvular operations. Methods This was an observational study of coronary and/or valvular heart operations from 2010 to 2021. Baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared by the use or non-use of IONM, which included both electroencephalography and somatosensory-evoked potentials.

Background Knowledge about how patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) perform on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is sparse. Since exercise testing in patients with symptomatic AS is not advised, submaximal parameters could be of special interest. We aimed to investigate maximal and submaximal physical capacity by CPET before and 1 year after surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) in patients with severe AS.
