Objectives National dietary guidelines were introduced in 1977 and 1983, by the US and UK governments, respectively, with the ambition of reducing coronary heart disease (CHD) by reducing fat intake.

Background and aim Long-term data on cardiac changes in anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) users are lacking. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of AAS on cardiac structure and function ...

Background Differentiating cardiac from non-cardiac acute chest pain poses a diagnostic challenge, especially in primary care. The History, ECG, Age, Risk factors and Troponin level (HEART) score aid ...

The recent guideline from the European Society of Cardiology and European Society of Anesthesiology recommended the use of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) as preoperative testing for high-risk ...

Background Differences in the clinical outcomes and level of risk among Asian versus non-Asian patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have been sparsely investigated. Objective To provide a ...

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is increasingly used to guide myocardial revascularisation. However, supporting evidence regarding its use originates from studies that have enrolled mainly patients with ...

Spirulina, a cyanobacteria commonly referred to as a blue-green algae, is one of the oldest lifeforms on Earth. Spirulina grows in both fresh and saltwater sources and is known for its high protein ...

Aims To evaluate the effect of combining real-time deep learning (DL)-based guiding and automated measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumetric measurements and strain. Methods and results Patients ...

Objective We explored cardiac volumes and the effects on systolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (HCM LVH+) and genotype-positive patients ...

Objective In this randomised two-period crossover trial, the objective was to compare acute changes in arterial distensibility between high-intensity interval physical exercise (HIIPE) and ...
