Background Recurrent pericardial effusion remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to high recurrence rates. Laparoscopic pericardioperitoneal window represents an understudied method in the ...

Background Acute inflammatory responses during and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are associated with subsequent cardiovascular event risk, but limited data exist on acute immune cell ...

Objective Cardiovascular diseases often occur together, but little is known about what increases the risk of developing cardiovascular multimorbidity (CVM), particularly in women. This study ...

Background Early rehospitalisation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is frequently required but data regarding its prevalence, aetiology, predictors and prognostic relevance are ...

Introduction Serum chloride has been recently recognised as a predictor of short-term mortality in patients hospitalised with ...

Background Information is needed on bleeding risk factors specific for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs). We aimed to identify risk factors ...

Background The current guideline recommends a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) ≥2.9 m/s on echocardiography for pulmonary hypertension (PH) screening; however, this threshold was based on ...

Background The interplay between genetic susceptibility and clinical risk for incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. Methods We used a case-cohort study design and included AF cases and a ...

Aims Infective endocarditis following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI-IE) is an uncommon but clinically devastating complication. We aimed to identify risk factors for TAVI-IE and to ...
