Open AccessImplications of Cardiopulmonary Risk for the Management of COPD: A Narrative Review
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitutes a major global health burden and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. A high proportion of patients with COPD have cardiovascular disease, but...

Open AccessValidation of machine learning models for estimation of left ventricular ejection fraction on point-of-care ultrasound: insights on features that impact performance
Machine learning (ML) algorithms can accurately estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from echocardiography, but their performance on cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is not well understood.

Kidney function monitoring and trajectories in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently co-exist. The frequency of kidney monitoring and range of kidney function in patients with AF in clinical practice are uncertain.

Defining the gap in heart failure treatment in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices
The use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is poorly described in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and/or implantable car...

Open AccessRandomized trial of conventional versus radiofrequency needle transseptal puncture for cryoballoon ablation: the CRYO-LATS trial
Transseptal puncture to achieve left atrial access is necessary for many cardiac procedures, including atrial fibrillation ablation. More recently, there has been an increasing need for left atrial access usin...

Management of Atrial Tachyarrhythmias in Heart Failure—an Interventionalist’s Point of View
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are commonly encountered clinical disorders that often co-exist, accelerating disease progression and adverse outcomes. It is known that restoration of sinus rhy...

Predicting Catheter Ablation Outcomes with Pre-ablation Heart Rhythm Data: Less Is More
While numerous studies have shown that catheter ablation is superior to anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), its long-term outcomes have been limited by arrhythmia recurrence, which...

Open AccessB-type natriuretic peptides in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have increased cardiovascular risk. Natriuretic peptides (NP) in other populations are useful in identifying cardiovascular disease, stratifying risk,...

Open AccessCardiovascular magnetic resonance activity in the United Kingdom: a survey on behalf of the british society of cardiovascular magnetic resonance
The indications, complexity and capabilities of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have rapidly expanded. Whether actual service provision and training have developed in parallel is unknown.
