BACKGROUND: Wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring devices are used worldwide. However, data on the diagnostic yield of an adhesive single-lead ECG patch (SEP) to detect premature ventricular complex (PVC) and the optimal duration of wearing an SEP for PVC burden assessment are limited. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to validate the diagnostic yield of an SEP (mobiCARE MC-100, Seers Technology) for PVC detection and evaluate the PVC burden variation recorded by the SEP over a 3-day monitoring period...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a sensitive tool for assessment of quality of life (QoL) in heart failure (HF) patients in Indian settings. METHODS: The authors conducted literature review, in depth interviews, clinical observations and designed the first draft of the QoL tool. The tool was validated using content and face validity by a panel of experts. For internal consistency reliability, the questionnaire was administered among 270 HF patients. Test-retest reliability was assessed in 20 HF patients...

BACKGROUND: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been proven to reduce the combined risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalizations in patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of the presence or absence of diabetes. Despite class 1 and class 2A recommendations for their usage in HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) respectively by the American College of Cardiology, their prescription rate has remained low...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one clinical manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is very common. Despite its prevalence, PAD remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and understudied. The most common symptom in patients with PAD is intermittent claudication (IC), or pain in the lower extremities with walking or exertion, which is relieved after a short period of rest. Many patients with confirmed PAD are asymptomatic or have symptoms other than IC. Regardless of symptoms, patients with PAD have poor cardiovascular outcomes...

INTRODUCTION: Hypertension affects approximately 50 % of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) but clinical course in adults with co-occurring HCM and hypertension is underexplored. Management may be challenging as routine anti-hypertensive medications may worsen obstructive HCM, the most common HCM phenotype. In this scoping review, we sought to synthesize the available literature related to clinical course and outcomes in adults with both conditions and to highlight knowledge gaps to inform future research directions...

BACKGROUND: We developed a three-pronged complex intervention to improve selfcare and deliver whole person care for patients with heart failure, underpinned by the 'extant cycle' theory - a theory based on our formative work. METHODS: This is a 3 centre, 2-arm, 1:1, open, adaptive stratified, randomized controlled trial. We included patients aged ≥ 18 years with heart failure, taking any of the key guideline directed medical treatments, with a history of or currently on a high ceiling diuretic...

Black breast cancer (BC) survivors have a lower survival rate at every stage of the disease, largely due to a higher BC mortality rate of 41 %, more aggressive forms of BC, cardiovascular comorbidities, and stress related to structural inequities. An underexplored factor is Black women's increased risk for cardiometabolic syndrome (CM), exacerbating cardio-oncology disparities. Many factors associated with increased risk for CM are modifiable through lifestyle behavior interventions and generally fail to improve outcomes among Black women...

Ana Gonjilashvili, Sophio Tatishvili
In 2020 the World Health organization announced a pandemic due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease 19. Pneumonia was the most common manifestation of the Sars-Cov-2 infection, however, clinical papers describe Sars-Cov-2 associated cardiovascular pathologies, such as ACS, myopericarditis, cardiomyopathies, dysrhythmias, as leading causes of increased morbidity and mortality. The short and long term prognosis of Sars-Cov-2-related cardiovascular diseases was defined not only by the disease severity itself but also by associated conditions and complications, among which mental health issues (stress, depression and anxiety) have a negative impact...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) affects 1 in 9 patients with acute coronary syndrome and has no evidence-based therapy. NT-proBNP is an established biomarker associated with prognosis in heart failure and ischemic heart disease, although there is a paucity of data in patients with MINOCA. METHODS: Prospective study of the diagnostic and clinical utility of measuring NT-proBNP in patients with MINOCA without left ventricular dysfunction or heart failure...

Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) have increased mortality and increased risk of stroke. Due to the heterogeneous nature of both disease processes, it is difficult to ascertain whether the diagnosis and progression of AF is the cause of deterioration or if it is a symptom of worsening heart failure. This presents physicians with a clinical conundrum of whether optimizing their heart failure will decrease the overall AF burden or if restoration of sinus rhythm is necessary to optimize patients with HFpEF...

BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) imaging is a multifaceted modality that has been utilized in various fields of clinical cardiology in the recent past; however, its implementation for the assessment of ischemia has been limited. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to document the functional changes in GLS secondary to acute myocardial ischemia in patients with chronic chest pain. METHODS: In this unblinded, single-center, investigator-initiated, prospective pilot study, the functional changes in GLS at baseline, during, and immediately following coronary percutaneous intervention were monitored in 10 ambulatory patients who underwent elective catheterization...

BACKGROUND: The application of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) in multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) patients has not been definitively explored. We herein assessed how treatment strategies were decided based on FFR/iFR values in vessels selected clinically. Specifically, we sought to determine whether treatment selection was based on whether the vessel tested was the clinical target stenosis. METHODS: 270 consecutive patients with angiographically determined multivessel disease who underwent FFR/iFR testing were included...

BACKGROUND: Emerging data in the general population and those with coronary artery disease demonstrate higher risk of adverse outcomes with high (>70 mg/dL) HDL-C levels. There are limited data on the risk of adverse outcomes in women with suspected ischemic heart disease. OBJECTIVE: To investigate relationships between high (>70 mg/dL), average (50-70 mg/dL), and low (<50 mg/dL) HDL-C levels with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization), and all-cause mortality in women referred for coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischemia...

Interdisciplinary research teams can be extremely beneficial when addressing difficult clinical problems. The incorporation of conceptual and methodological strategies from a variety of research disciplines and health professions yields transformative results. In this setting, the long-term goal of team science is to improve patient care, with emphasis on population health outcomes. However, team principles necessary for effective research teams are rarely taught in health professional schools. To form successful interdisciplinary research teams in cardio-oncology and beyond, guiding principles and organizational recommendations are necessary...
