Objective: To evaluate the profile and prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (HF) considered for heart transplantation with the new definition of PH.
Methods: Patients with chronic HF considered for heart transplantation were classified as mPAP, mPAP , and mPAP.
Background: Systematic prescription of beta-blockers after myocardial infarction remains an open question in the era of revascularization, especially for patients with uncomplicated myocardial infarction.
Objective: To evaluate in a real-life registry the proportion of patients with uncomplicated myocardial infarction (preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and no cardiovascular event within the first 6 months), and to report their characteristics, outcomes and beta-blocker use.
Methods: We included 1887 consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction from the prospective ePARIS registry.

Child Adolesc Ment Health
February 2022
The authors discuss the failure of political leadership in the face of the climate and ecological crisis, particularly in the Australian context.This failure exacerbates the climate distress of young people. The work of Psychology for a Safe Climate offers clinical leadership with its support model and Climate Aware Practitioner Network.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The authors sought to assess the association between admission time with patient's care, procedure characteristics, and clinical outcomes within a contemporary ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) network of patients referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Background: The effect of admission time on STEMI patient's outcomes remains controversial when primary PCI is the preferred reperfusion strategy.
Methods: Characteristics and clinical outcomes of 2,167 consecutive STEMI patients admitted in a tertiary PCI-capable center were collected.
Background: Allograft shortage might be overcome by the use of hearts from expanded-criteria donors (ECD) but their estimated high-risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) results in a limited utilization of these hearts for transplantation. We aimed to determine if performing coronary angiography (CA) in ECD enhances cardiac procurement and to develop a predictive model estimating their probability of absence of CAD.
Methods: We retrospectively used the French National Transplant Registry CRISTAL and considered all donors aged 45 to 70 with ≥ 1 organ harvested between March 2012 and June 2014 to derive a high-risk donor population.
Background: The optimal long-term antithrombotic treatment of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a challenge in daily practice. We sought to determine the prevalence of hemorrhagic complications and ischaemic events depending on antithrombotic strategy in patients with stable CAD and AF.
Methods: The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) defined as a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke.
Aims: To assess the incidence, risk factors and prognosis of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) and myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods And Results: We included all consecutive patients who underwent elective PCI with a negative troponin level at admission from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2015. The primary endpoint was defined as the composite of periprocedural MI (Type 4a MI), stent thrombosis (Type 4b MI), and myocardial injury according to the Third universal definition of MI.
Objectives: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common and potentially severe complication in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). There is no consensus on the best definition of CI-AKI to identify patients at risk of haemodialysis or death. The objective of this study was to assess the association of CI-AKI, using four definitions, on inhospital mortality, mortality or haemodialysis requirement over 1-year follow-up, in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.

Data concerning the latter correlation during exercise stress are conflicting. Therefore, we investigated if use of negative inotropic drugs (NID), impacts the accuracy of E/e' as a surrogate for LVEDP during low-level exercise.

The AGENT-HF (NCT01966887) trial investigated the impact of adeno-associated virus (AAV1)/SERCA2a on ventricular remodelling using multimodality non-invasive cardiac imaging.
Methods And Results: AGENT-HF was a single centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adult patients with NYHA class III-IV ischaemic or non-ischaemic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%.
Background: Increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) with exercise is an early sign of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The abnormal exercise increase in LVEDP is nonlinear, with most change occurring at low-level exercise. Data on non-invasive approach of this condition are scarce.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To assess outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) in nonagenarian patients.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre retrospective study between 2006 and 2013 in five international high-volume centres and included consecutive all-comer nonagenarians treated with primary PCI for STEMI. There were no exclusion criteria.
Aim: This open-label, randomized, and multicentre trial tested the hypothesis that, on a background of aspirin, continuing clopidogrel would be superior to stopping clopidogrel at 12 months following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
Methods And Results: Patients (N = 1799) who had undergone placement of ≥1 DES for stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome were included in 58 French sites (January 2009-January 2013). Patients (N = 1385) free of major cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events or major bleeding and on aspirin and clopidogrel 12 months after stenting were eligible for randomization (1:1) between continuing clopidogrel 75 mg daily (extended-dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT, group) or discontinuing clopidogrel (aspirin group).
Background: Patients with renal failure (RF) have been systematically excluded from clinical trials; consequently their outcomes have not been well studied in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Aims: To compare cardiovascular outcomes after contemporary PCI in patients with versus without RF, according to clinical presentation (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI], acute coronary syndrome [ACS] or stable coronary artery disease [sCAD]).
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing PCI with stent were prospectively included from 2007 to 2012.
Background: Whether outcomes differ for women and men after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains controversial.
Aim: To compare 1-year outcomes after primary PCI in women and men with STEMI, matched for age and diabetes.
Methods: Consecutive women with STEMI of<24 hours' duration referred (August 2007 to January 2011) for primary PCI were compared with men matched for age and diabetes.
Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and thienopyridine is required after placement of coronary drug-eluting stents (DES) to prevent thrombotic complications. Current clinical guidelines recommend at least 6 to 12 months of treatment after a DES implantation, but it may be beneficial to apply dual antiplatelet therapy for a longer duration.
Methods/design: The optimal dual antiplatelet therapy (OPTIDUAL) study aims to compare the benefits and risks of dual antiplatelet therapy applied for either 12 or 48 months.
Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), and the actions of vitamin D are mediated by binding to a specific nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). This study investigated the associations of VDR gene variants with CAD in two cohorts of type 2 diabetes patients.
Methods: A cohort of 3137 subjects from the prospective DIABHYCAR study (CAD incidence: 14.
Background: This study assessed if invasive coronary angiogram (CA) could be replaced by multislice (64- or 256-row) computed tomography (MSCT) to systematically rule out coronary allograft vasculopathy in heart transplant patients.
Methods: Electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced MSCT (64-row for the first 25 patients and 256-row for the others) was compared with CA. MSCT parameters, adapted to the patient's weight, included 120 kV, 800 mAs, 0.
Background: Coronary angiography (CA), an invasive and expensive procedure, is still recommended in most patients referred for elective valve surgery. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a promising alternative technique to rule out significant coronary artery lesions.
Aim: To evaluate MSCT in detecting significant coronary artery lesions in patients referred for elective valve surgery.
Background: It is unknown whether the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) apply in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF).
Aims: To compare DES with bare metal stents (BMS) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CRF patients.
Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients treated by PCI were allocated to four groups according to type of stent used (DES versus BMS) and creatinine clearance (CrCl).
Objective: The aim of this paper was to assess the value of a psychodynamic formulation masterclass.
Method: Formal feedback from the presenters at a masterclass at the 2010 RANZCP Congress was obtained and arranged under different themes.
Results: The importance of counter-transference, reevaluating the case and supervision, witnessing the skill of an expert, the sense of containment and validation, and the importance of formulation were significant themes that emerged.
