One of the greatest achievements of public health in the twentieth century has been the almost doubling of life expectancy in the Western world. Yet this now ageing population brings new challenges, as the prevalence of little-understood geriatric conditions increases, together with the rising prevalence of age-related disorders, such as syncope. The definition of syncope, as outlined by the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Maria Teresa La Rovere , Roberto Maestri , Gian Domenico Pinna Added: 3 years ago
Arterial baroreceptors play a crucial role in the adjustment of the cardiovascular system to several surrounding conditions. In a simplified paradigm, baroreceptor stimulation results in arterial pressure changes that can modulate both sympathetic and vagal activity and, as a consequence, heart rate and myocardial electrophysiological properties, contractility and vascular resistance. Arterial… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease in the US, affecting 29% of the adult population.1 Once considered a benign, compensatory mechanism for ageing, high blood pressure (BP) is now recognised as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that inadequate BP control is responsible for 62% of cases of cerebrovascular disease, 49% of cases of ischemic heart… View more

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Prevention of Cardiovascular Risk
Author(s): María Pilar Resano-Barrio , Ramón Arroyo-Espliguero , María Carmen Viana-Llamas , et al Added: 3 years ago
The WHO has established that coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease represent the main causes of premature death and disability in developed countries.1 However, the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is also increasing in developing countries as a result of population ageing and changes in lifestyle. For these reasons, the prevention and treatment of… View more

Management of Refractory Angina Pectoris
Author(s): Kevin Cheng , Paul Sainsbury , Michael Fisher , et al Added: 3 years ago
Refractory angina (RA) is conventionally defined as a chronic condition (≥3 months in duration) characterised by angina in the setting of coronary artery disease (CAD), which cannot be controlled by a combination of optimal medical therapy, angioplasty or bypass surgery, and where reversible myocardial ischaemia has been clinically established to be the cause of the symptoms.1 In clinical… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Mary N Sheppard Added: 3 years ago
Takotsubo syndrome is an acute reversible heart failure syndrome, which is increasingly recognised by coronary angiography for patients with acute ‘cardiac’ chest pain.1 It is a distinct disease entity from acute coronary syndrome, although the initial presentation has similar features to either ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Early… View more
