Association between treatment-induced changes in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and clinical outcomes in chronic heart failure: a trial-level meta-regression analysis
Background: Patient-reported outcomes such as the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) are increasingly recognized for their prognostic value. While the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization is the standard primary outcome in contemporary HF…

Rhythm control in persistent atrial fibrillation improves endothelial function without uniform anti-inflammatory effects: A 9-month prospective cohort study
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While there is robust evidence, that inflammation contributes to AF pathogenesis, the existence of a reverse relation – whether AF contributes to inflammation…

One-year real-world outcomes after vericiguat initiation in heart failure: The ROVER-Japan cohort study
Background: Vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, is recommended for patients with chronic heart failure (HF) who recently worsened despite guideline-directed medical therapy. However, there is limited data on its real-world utilization and outcomes. The ROVER-Japan study examined…

Efficacy and safety of cardioneuroablation as a treatment for patients with functional bradyarrhythmia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel procedure that shows promising results in patients with functional bradyarrhythmia, including functional sinus node dysfunction (SND) and atrioventricular block (AVB). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CNA…

Exercise-induced ventricular changes in recreational half-marathon runners compared with marathon/ultramarathon runners
Background: With the growing popularity of amateur endurance sports, including marathon running, it is crucial to recognize transient myocardial changes induced by prolonged physical exertion and to evaluate potential predictors of cardiac fatigue.Methods: A total of 105 runners participating in…

Clinical outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitor use in Thai patients with heart failure: a five-year retrospective cohort study
Introduction & Objectives: Heart failure is one of the major public health concerns and a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality worldwide, including in Thailand. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated significant cardiovascular benefits in clinical trials…

Prognostic significance of subsequent decline in LVEF in heart failure with improved ejection fraction − A report from the CHART-2 study −
Background: Some patients of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) have subsequent decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after improvement, and their prognosis is uncertain. Aims: We aimed to examine the clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of this…

Visual coronary calcium scoring to support opportunistic CAD screening: comparative evaluation of three established systems and introduction of a novel scoring system
Background: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is an established marker of atherosclerotic burden and cardiovascular risk. While the Agatston score is the clinical gold standard, alternative visual scoring methods—including the Visual Ordinal Score, Weston Score, and Vessel-specific extent-based…

Ascending aortic length across a large population presenting to the emergency room, a retrospective cross-sectional study
Background: Aortic dissection often occurs at diameters below surgical thresholds, underscoring the need for better predictive markers. Ascending aortic length has emerged as a potential morphologic risk factor, but normal population data are limited. This study aimed to establish normative aortic…

Serum aminoterminal type III procollagen peptide reflects increased vascular thickness in healthy, young adults
Background: Procollagen III, aminoterminal peptide (PIIINP) is a degradation product of collagen type III-synthesis. Collagen type III is distributed in many tissues, and an increase in serum PIIINP could reflect an increase in collagen turnover and pro-fibrotic activity. In this study, on a…

Echocardiographic reference values in elderly with a focus on octogenarians and older
Aims: Most published material on echocardiographic reference values includes individuals up to the age of 60–70, but reference values for older individuals remain scarce. Accurate interpretation of transthoracic echocardiographic reference values in octogenarians and older individuals requires…

The role of quantitative cardiovascular MRI and late gadolinium enhancement patterns in differentiating late-onset Anderson-Fabry disease (c.640–801G > A) from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case-control study
Aims: To evaluate the utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in distinguishing Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) harboring the c.640–801G > A mutation from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods and results: We enrolled 30 AFD patients, 30 age- and sex-matched HCM patients, and…

Coronary anatomy detects, ischemia predicts: Real-world insights from the Nancy ischemia registry
Background: The respective roles of coronary atherosclerosis assessment and myocardial ischemia testing for cardiovascular risk stratification remain debated, particularly in real-world clinical practice where imaging strategies are guided by patient risk profile rather than random assignment…

Comparison of efficacy and safety between TIcagrelor and clopidogrel in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (COSTIC study)
Background: Ticagrelor is recommended as the preferred antiplatelet agent for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is controversial in East Asians, Chinese patients in particular. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel in Chinese ACS patients…

Prognostic value of psoas muscle area and pleural effusion in patients undergoing TAVI
Background: Radiographic markers such as psoas muscle area (PMA) and pleural effusion have been linked to mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We examined their relationship with cause-specific mortality and their incremental prognostic value beyond EuroSCORE II. Methods…

Prognostic value of liver shear wave elastography after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in severe aortic stenosis
Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a noninvasive ultrasound technique that quantifies liver stiffness. Previous studies have suggested that liver SWE can serve as an indirect marker of hepatic congestion. However, it remains unclear whether liver SWE measured after transcatheter aortic…

Association of elevated cyclic GMP levels with hemodynamic changes in HFrEF patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan and vericiguat: a pilot study
Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) often present with a relative deficiency of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) despite elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Sacubitril/valsartan and vericiguat target the cGMP pathway, but the relative contribution of cardiac versus…

Circulating angiogenic progenitor cell apoptosis in Post-COVID-19 syndrome
Background: Cellular endothelial dysfunction in patients recovering from Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains poorly understood. This study examined circulating angiogenic progenitor cells (CAC) and mature endothelial cells (CEC) in individuals with persistent symptoms following…

Syndecan-1, endocan and non-culprit coronary plaque composition following non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
Background: Syndecan-1 and endocan are biomarkers of endothelial damage, which associate with worse outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI). As it is unclear how this is mediated, we investigated how they associate with the composition of residual, non-culprit coronary atherosclerotic plaques…
