Background Many observational studies highlight clonal haematopoiesis (CH) as a novel determinant of cardiovascular disease ...

Objective To clarify whether atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a comprehensive indicator reflecting both the protective and ...

Introduction Resistant hypertension remains a clinical challenge, often linked to elevated aldosterone levels not fully controlled by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Aldosterone synthase ...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is characterised by reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after restoration of sinus rhythm (SR). The need for continued ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) size is an important clinical variable, commonly assessed at echocardiography by measurement of the internal diameter in diastole (IDD). However, this has recognised ...

Introduction Although there is strong evidence of an association between general adiposity and incidence of heart failure, previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have not reliably assessed the ...

Background Routine invasive management by coronary angiography and revascularisation as appropriate reduces recurrent ischaemic events in non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), but its ...

Objectives To determine contemporary population estimates of the prevalence of cardiac permanent pacemaker (PPM) insertions. Methods A population-based observational study using linked hospital ...

Introduction Despite valvular heart disease (VHD) being a major contributor to cardiovascular health issues globally, limited epidemiological data exist for Malaysia. Objective To examine the ...

Background Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a common cause of cardiovascular mortality, often triggered by ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of myocardial vulnerability. The wearable ...

Background Aortogenic stroke is an important subtype of embolic strokes, yet lacks a diagnostic method for proactive identification. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) is a catheter-based ...
