Article Synopsis
- The study compares ambulance paramedics' use of the modified HEART-score with point-of-care cardiac troponin testing to emergency physicians' use of the same score with high-sensitive cTn in patients suspected of having non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
- It evaluates the interobserver agreement and diagnostic performance of four different cTn testing strategies, aiming to improve the accuracy of NSTE-ACS diagnoses and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations.
- The POPular HEART study seeks to enhance pre-hospital detection of NSTE-ACS, ultimately aiming to lower healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes.

A new collagen-based MANTA vascular closure device (VCD) was developed for closing large-bore arteriotomies after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We evaluated safety and feasibility at 30-day follow-up in terms of vascular and bleeding complications and mortality of the collagen-based MANTA VCD compared with the suture-based Prostar XL VCD in a cohort of 366 patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI between January 2015 and April 2018. The MANTA VCD was used in 168 patients and the Prostar XL VCD in 198 patients, with successful closure of 98.
