Artificial Intelligence-Guided Single-Lead ECG May Be a Game-Changer for Symptom-to-Balloon Time Reduction in ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction

Comprehending the rate at which ischaemic myocardium succumbs to necrosis following an abrupt occlusion of a coronary artery is crucial to understand the efficacy and benefits behind the time dependency in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) management. Over decades, efforts to shave off life-saving minutes from STEMI care centred on reducing door-to-needle and door-to-balloon times.

Atrial Fibrillation in Veteran AthLETEs and the Risk of Stroke: AFLETES – An Online International Survey

Contemporary data suggest endurance athletes are at an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) when compared with the general population. Cardioembolic events such as stroke are a well-established complication of untreated AF.

Cardiac Damage Staging in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incremental Value of Global Longitudinal Strain and Right Ventricular-Arterial Coupling

Staging cardiac damage in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed as a prognostic tool. Other authors have shown that these staging systems are related with mortality. The aim of this study was to perform an external validation of the predictive capacity of the staging system proposed by Généreux et al.
