Objectives To describe medical management in aortic dissection (AD) and to analyse the possible associations between antihypertensive, antithrombotic, anticoagulant and statin agents, respectively, and long-term survival. Methods From Swedish medical registers, all patients diagnosed with AD in 2006–2015 were identified. Filled prescriptions prior to admission and within 1 year from discharge in patients discharged and alive at 30 days were registered.

Written by Emre Aslanger. Emre is a new Editor of the Blog. He is an interventionalist in Turkey. A 50 something-year-old man with a history of newly diagnosed hypertension and diabetes, for which he did not take any medication, presented a non-PCI-capable center with a vague, but central chest pain. His vitals were normal and his first ECG was as shown below: There is obvious ST segment elevation (STE) in anterior leads.

Background Exercise parameters are not routinely incorporated in decision making for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). Submaximal exercise parameters better reflect daily functional capacity of heart failure patients than parameters measured at maximal exertion, and may therefore better predict response to CRT. We compared various exercise parameters, and sought to establish which best predict CRT response.

Aims Endurance sport practice is associated with a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of stroke in the general population. However, stroke risk in endurance athletes with AF is sparsely investigated. Most studies have been limited by design and are largely restricted to younger and middle-aged populations. Thus, we aimed to investigate AF and stroke risk in older athletes exposed to prolonged endurance training.
