Aim: The relative apical sparing pattern of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain (RELAPS]>1) has been described as a typical sign of cardiac amyloidosis (CA). The objective was to validate this pattern in concomitant CA and aortic stenosis (AS) and to identify new echocardiographic variables suggestive of CA in the presence of AS.
Methods And Results: 324 consecutive patients (age 81.
Background: In elderly patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS), while routine invasive management is established in high-risk NSTEACS patients, there is still uncertainty regarding the optimal timing of the procedure.
Methods: This study analyzes the association of early coronary angiography with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients older than 75 years old with NSTEACS. This retrospective observational study included 7811 consecutive NSTEACS patients who were examined between the years 2003 and 2017 at two Spanish university hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus who are experiencing non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and evaluates the effectiveness of two risk assessment scores: GRACE and PRECISE-DAPT.
- A total of 7,415 patients were included, with 28% having diabetes; findings revealed diabetic patients were generally older and had higher initial risk scores, with differences in treatment approaches observed.
- The PRECISE-DAPT score effectively predicted mortality and adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients, while the GRACE score performed worse over the long term for these individuals.

Objectives: The objective of our work is to evaluate the prognostic benefit of an early invasive strategy in patients with high-risk NSTACS according to the recommendations of the 2020 clinical practice guidelines during long-term follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 6454 consecutive NSTEACS patients. We analyze the effects of early coronary angiography (< 24 h) in patients with: (a) GRACE risk score > 140 and (b) patients with "established NSTEMI" (non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction defined by an increase in troponins) or dynamic ST-T-segment changes with a GRACE risk score < 140.
