Myocardial ischaemic syndromes: a new nomenclature to harmonize evolving international clinical practice guidelines.

Since the 1960s, cardiologists have adopted several binary classification systems for acute myocardial infarction (MI) that facilitated improved patient management. Conversely, for chronic stable manifestations of myocardial ischaemia, various classifications have emerged over time, often with conflicting terminology-e.g.

Myocardial Ischemic Syndromes: A New Nomenclature to Harmonize Evolving International Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Since the 1960s, cardiologists have adopted several binary classification systems for acute myocardial infarction (MI) that facilitated improved patient management. Conversely, for chronic stable manifestations of myocardial ischemia, various classifications have emerged over time, often with conflicting terminology-eg, "stable coronary artery disease" (CAD), "stable ischemic heart disease," and "chronic coronary syndromes" (CCS). While the 2019 European guidelines introduced CCS to impart symmetry with "acute coronary syndromes" (ACS), the 2023 American guidelines endorsed the alternative term "chronic coronary disease.

Skin sympathetic nerve activity in patients with chronic orthostatic intolerance.

Background: Chronic orthostatic intolerance (OI) is characterized by the development of tachycardia and other symptoms when assuming an upright body position.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) bursts are specific symptomatic biomarkers in patients with chronic OI.

Methods: We used an electrocardiogram monitor with a built-in triaxial accelerometer to simultaneously record SKNA and posture in ambulatory participants.

Association between aspirin use during pregnancy and cardiovascular risk factors 2-7 years after delivery: The nuMoM2b Heart Health Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between aspirin use during first pregnancy and later maternal cardiovascular risk.

Study Design: In this secondary analysis of a prospective cohort, we included participants who carried their first pregnancy to 20 + weeks, had data regarding aspirin use, and attended a study visit 2-7 years following delivery. The exposure was aspirin use during the first pregnancy.

Feasibility of Patient-Centric Remote Dried Prediction, Risk, and Evaluation of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (PRE-MACE) Study.

: Remote patient monitoring can shift important data collection opportunities to low-cost settings. Here, we evaluate whether the quality of blood-samples taken by patients at home differs from samples taken from the same patients by clinical staff. We examine the effects of socio-demographic and patient reported outcomes (PRO) survey data on remote blood sampling compliance and quality.
