Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for patients following myocardial infarction (MI) is frequently impaired. We investigated the association of baseline and changes in HRQoL with mortality following MI.
Methods And Results: Nationwide longitudinal study of 9474 patients admitted to 77 hospitals in England as part of the Evaluation of the Methods and Management of Acute Coronary Events study.
Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to explore whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) can offer a contrast-agent-free alternative to dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI for measuring breast tumor perfusion. The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between tissue diffusion measures from DWI and DCE-MRI measures of the tissue interstitial and extracellular volume fractions.
Materials And Methods: A total of 108 paired DWI and DCE-MRI scans were acquired at 1.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to explore how health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is linked to serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD).
- - Researchers analyzed data from 51 studies involving over 134,000 participants and found that lower HRQoL scores are associated with a higher risk of MACCE and all-cause mortality.
- - The findings suggest that regularly assessing HRQoL could improve patient care by helping to identify individuals with IHD who may need targeted interventions to reduce their risk of adverse outcomes.

Aims: The Evaluation of the Methods and Management of Acute Coronary Events (EMMACE) longitudinal cohort study aims to investigate health trajectories of individuals following hospitalization for myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods And Results: EMMACE is a linked multicentre prospective cohort study of 14 899 patients with MI admitted to 77 hospitals in England who participated in the EMMACE-3 and -4 studies between 1st November 2011 and 24th June 2015. Long-term follow-up of the EMMACE cohorts was conducted through the EMMACE-XL (27th September 2020 to 31st March 2022) and EMMACE-XXL (1st July 2021 to 1st July 2023) studies.
Background: it is not known if clinical practice reflects guideline recommendations for the management of hypertension in older people and whether guideline adherence varies according to overall health status.
Aims: to describe the proportion of older people attaining National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline blood pressure targets within 1 year of hypertension diagnosis and determine predictors of target attainment.
Methods: a nationwide cohort study of Welsh primary care data from the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage databank including patients aged ≥65 years newly diagnosed with hypertension between 1st June 2011 and 1st June 2016.
