Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a state of systemic tissue hypoperfusion due to cardiac failure in the presence of adequate intravascular volume.1 Left ventricular pump failure leading to CS remains one of the most serious and challenging conditions over time in cardiology and is still the most common cause of hospital mortality associated with myocardial infarction (MI).2 This review focuses on CS in…

Pulmonary embolism is mainly caused by deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities, mostly due to longer immobilisation and/or restricted venous backflow. Thus, most patients have a typical history; however, symptoms may be misinterpreted and therapy delayed. While smaller or fragmented thrombi in the peripheral segments of the pulmonary arteries may only cause dyspnoea and hardly any…

The health burden of environmental noise has recently been quantified in a report of the World Health Organization (WHO) in terms of disabilityadjusted life years (DALYs; i.e., the number of years lost because of disability or death – a measure that combines both morbidity and mortality). The WHO estimates that – in western Europeans – each year 45,000 DALYs are lost because of noise-induced…

Introduction
The Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a hereditary arrhythmia syndrome manifesting as recurrent syncope or sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to polymorphic ventricular (VT) or fibrillation (VF) in the absence of overt structural heart disease or myocardial ischaemia.1,2 The prevalence of the syndrome is estimated at around 15 per 10,000 in South East Asia including Japan and around 2 per 10,000…

Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in women. Approximately 2.8 million women have been diagnosed with CVD in the UK.1 For many years, the presence of gender-related differences in presentation, risk factors and outcomes have been recognised. Importantly, these discrepancies in presentation and outcomes between the sexes are often associated with…

At a time of resource constraints in the healthcare system worldwide, cost issues increasingly influence medication-prescribing habits. For this reason, healthcare providers encourage physicians and pharmacists to use generic drugs, which offer the single advantage of being cheaper than the original proprietary product. Whether this approach is eventually justified with regard to the efficient…

Neither supraventricular nor ventricular tachyarrhythmias are uncommon during pregnancy.1,2 When they are diagnosed, patients, relatives and physicians are frequently worried about ectopic beats and sustained arrhythmias.3,4 One should question whether arrhythmias should be treated in the same way as they would be outside pregnancy because all commonly used antiarrhythmic drugs cross the placenta…
