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.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 2004 patients studied, those with improved or stable kidney function after one year experienced significantly lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
- * The findings suggest that monitoring and improving renal function in these patients is crucial for better long-term health outcomes following STEMI.
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.
Aims: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery after an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) identifies a group of patients with a better prognosis. However, the association between long-term outcomes and LVEF recovery among patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not yet been well investigated. Our study aims to detect differences in long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality between patients who recover LVEF at 1-year post-PCI and those who do not, and search for predictors of LVEF recovery.
