Measurement of breast artery calcification using an artificial intelligence detection model and its association with major adverse cardiovascular events.

Breast artery calcification (BAC) obtained from standard mammographic images is currently under evaluation to stratify risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in women. Measuring BAC using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, we aimed to determine the relationship between BAC and coronary artery calcification (CAC) severity with Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE). This retrospective study included women who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) within one year of mammography.

Cardiovascular and all-cause mortality outcomes of adrenalectomy versus medical treatment in primary aldosteronism: an umbrella review.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is now recognized as the most prevalent form of secondary hypertension globally, contributing significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This umbrella review aims to systematically compare cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in PA patients undergoing adrenalectomy versus mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) treatment, aiming to inform optimal management strategies.

Method: Following PRISMA guidelines (Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.

Experiences and challenges of acute coronary syndrome patients in care provision: a qualitative systematic review.

Background: Coronary artery disease including acute coronary syndrome (ACS) constitutes the most common cause of death in people with cardiovascular disease. Prompt diagnosis and early initiation of treatment significantly impact on patient outcomes. Positive patient experience with their initial care is linked to positive clinical outcomes.

Strategies to reduce delays in delivering mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke - an umbrella review.

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy is a time-sensitive treatment, with rapid initiation and reduced delays being associated with better patient outcomes. Several systematic reviews reported on various interventions to address delays. Hence, we performed an umbrella review of systematic reviews to summarise the current evidence.
