Aims: Heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) patients could still develop adverse outcomes despite EF improvement. This study evaluates the risk and protective factors of poor clinical outcomes in HFimpEF patients.
Methods: Systematic searching was done to include studies that evaluate the risks of developing poor outcomes in HFimpEF patients.
Background: More than half of NSTEACS patients are presented with multivessel CAD. Culprit vessel only or complete revascularization (CR) guided either by angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) is available percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) options. This study aims to compare different PCI strategies in NSTEACS patients with multivessel CAD.

This study aims to identify risk factors of adverse clinical outcomes in asymptomatic MR patients with preserved EF for early indication of MV surgery.
Methods: 3 databases were systematically searched to include studies with asymptomatic MR patients with preserved EF.
Aim: Type 4a myocardial infarction (T4aMI), defined as myocardial injury associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is associated with a poor prognosis and there is conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) in its prevention. This review aimed to determine the effect of RIC on stable and unstable angina patients.
Method: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed and Central database.
