Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the use of a machine learning model using initial transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to predict in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs) in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units (ICCU).
- A total of 1,499 patients were evaluated, and the model showed significant accuracy, highlighting five key TTE parameters that contributed to its predictions.
- The machine learning model outperformed traditional scoring methods, indicating it could serve as a better tool for risk stratification in heart patients.
Background: The prevalence and short-term cardiovascular consequences of recent cannabis use in patients admitted to an intensive cardiac care unit for acute coronary syndrome is not well established.
Aims: To assess the prevalence of recent cannabis use detected by prospective systematic screening, and its prognostic value in predicting the occurrence of in-hospital major adverse events in consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: From 07 to 22 April 2021, all consecutive patients admitted to an intensive cardiac care unit in 39 centres throughout France were studied prospectively.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death among women, and the incidence among younger women has shown the greatest increase over the last decades, in particular for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Moreover, the prognosis of women post-AMI is poor when compared with men of similar ages. Since the 1990s, an abundant literature has highlighted the existing differences between sexes with regard to presentation, burden, and impact of traditional risk factors and of risk factors pertaining predominantly to women, the perception of risk by women and men, and the pathophysiological causations, their treatment, and prognosis.

Background: The percentage of women <50 years of age hospitalized with myocardial infarction is increasing. We describe the clinical, morphological, and biological characteristics, as well as the clinical outcomes of this population.
Methods And Results: This prospective, observational study included consecutive women <50 years of age admitted for myocardial infarction at 30 centers in France (May 2017-June 2019).

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous treatment for structural heart disease is advancing quickly, with the EAPCI's Core Curriculum defining crucial competencies for new interventional cardiologists specializing in this area.
- These specialists, trained in interventional cardiology, manage adult patients and perform various procedures, requiring skills in advanced imaging and planning software, with a focus on the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves.
- Comprehensive training in all three areas typically takes at least 18 months, supporting consistent education across Europe, which will eventually influence certifications and patient safety measures.
