Background: Heart failure (HF) is the most common long-term complication of acute
myocardial infarction (MI). Understanding plasma proteins associated with post-MI HF and …

Background The role of left atrial (LA) strain as an imaging biomarker in aortic stenosis is not
well established. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic performance of …

Aims: Left ventricular ejection fraction is the conventional measure used to guide heart
failure management, regardless of underlying etiology. Left ventricular global longitudinal …

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has a high clinical burden and
constitutes approximately 20% to 30% of patients with heart failure in Asia. Impaired global …

Introduction Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events. However, treatment of PA has not been shown to improve left ventricular (LV) …

Background Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary
hypertension, and patients are at an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. We …

Background: In addition to increased cardiovascular risk, patients with primary
aldosteronism (PA) also suffer from impaired health–related quality of life (HRQoL) and …

Objective We investigated the prognostic significance of selected known and novel
circulating biomarkers in aortic stenosis (AS). Methods N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) …

There are limitations to the sensitivity and specificity of conventional two-dimensional
echocardiograms in making an accurate diagnosis in certain patient populations. This led to …

It is unclear whether universal access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI)
may reduce sex differences in 1-year rehospitalization for heart failure (HF) and myocardial …
