Journal Article
Consensus referral pathway for the clinical use of renal denervation in uncontrolled hypertension: a joint statement by the Hellenic Society of Hypertension, the Hellenic Society of Cardiology (WGs “Hypertension and Heart” and “Interventional Cardiology”), the Hellenic Society of Nephrology and the Hellenic Academy of General Practice/Family Medicine and Primary Health Care
Growing evidence on the long-term efficacy and safety of sympathetic renal denervation (RDN) has established this neuromodulatory interventional therapy as the third therapeutic pillar for hypertension management, alongside lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy. Accordingly, recent European…

Coronary angiography-based wire-free FFR methods
Wire-free fractional flow reserve (FFR) methods derived from coronary angiography offer a less invasive alternative to pressure-wire physiology assessment of intermediate coronary stenoses. During the last decade, several methodological approaches have shown strong correlation and high diagnostic…

L1 cell adhesion molecule: a novel potential biomarker for infective endocarditis patients at high risk of embolism and adverse events
Aims: Despite advancements in medical and surgical therapies, infective endocarditis (IE) remains life-threatening owing to its complications. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value and function of L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) in IE. Methods: A prospective observational study…

Rare pathogenic NR2F2 (COUP-TFII) variants as potential etiological causes in pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases (CHDs)
Objectives: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are complex genetic disorders, and their genetic basis is not yet fully understood. Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2 (NR2F2 or COUP-TFII) encodes a transcription factor which is expressed at high levels during mammalian development. Few…

30-day unplanned readmission rates and causes in patients hospitalised for acute coronary syndrome based on DANish CoMorbidity index for Acute Myocardial Infarction score
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of the DANish CoMorbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI) score with 30-day unplanned readmission rates and causes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Using the US National Readmission Database, all…

Aortic annuloplasty with internal geometric ring; single-center midterm outcomes
Objective: Surgical aortic valve replacement has been the mainstay of treatment against severe aortic insufficiency despite the high incidence of prosthesis-related complications and better long-term outcomes following aortic valve repair. Annuloplasty and leaflet reconstruction are the integral…

Sacubitril/valsartan role in patients with resistant hypertension: a systematic review
Background: Sacubitril/valsartan, an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), shows promising result in treating resistant hypertension (RH) but lacks comprehensive evaluation. We performed a systematic review to assess and compare the efficacy of ARNI in managing RH. Methods: We conducted…

Impact of renal function on treatment strategies and clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients with multivessel disease
Objective: The impact of renal function on revascularization outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction and multivessel disease remains unclear. This study compared long-term outcomes of complete (CR) and incomplete revascularization (IR) in patients with estimated glomerular filtration…

Dual nature of mitral annular disjunction: normal variation or pathological precursor?
The concept of mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has garnered significant attention due to its potential clinical implications. MAD refers to a spatial displacement of the hinge point of the mitral valve leaflets. Initially described over 150 years ago, MAD has evolved from being an anatomical…

The journey to improving stroke risk stratification for patients with carotid artery stenosis: from medical management to revascularization
Ischemic strokes remain a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Carotid artery stenosis is a major risk factor for ischemic strokes. Although traditional carotid revascularization procedures are based on carotid stenosis, it has been increasingly recognized that plaque composition…
