Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) have been associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events. Moderate- to high-risk ACS are generally managed by an early invasive approach, where coronary angiography is followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, ACS and the use of PCI or CABG are associated with a high risk of thrombotic…

High blood pressure is the major risk factor for disease and premature death worldwide.1 The associations between blood pressure and fatal coronary artery disease and fatal stroke have been well demonstrated.2 Also, associations between blood pressure and morbidity and mortality on specific cardiovascular disease conditions in different age groups, and results concerning the lifetime risk for…

Aetiological Classification of Stroke
Precise analysis of stroke subtypes is important for clinical treatment decisions and prognostic evaluation of patients leading to adapted individual patient management. The most widely used system of aetiological ischaemic stroke classification is the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification, proposed in 1993 for an acute stroke…

The Concepts of Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiometabolic Risk
Cardiometabolic risk represents a situation where the possibilities of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and diabetes are significantly enhanced as a consequence of the presence of insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia is characterised by the presence of low high-density lipoprotein (HDL)…

Cardiovascular (CV) events are a major cause of mortality worldwide1 that are often precipitated by acute coronary syndromes (ACS). ACS result from the acute obstruction of coronary arteries and are defined as either unstable angina (UA) or myocardial infarction (MI), with or without ST-segment-elevation (STEMI and NSTEMI, respectively). Patients with moderate- to high-risk ACS are managed by an…

Brugada syndrome was first described in 1993 in a case series of eight patients with recurrent polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and stereotypical electrographic characteristics in the context of a structurally normal heart.1 Since then, the syndrome has been extensively studied and recognised worldwide as a major cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in otherwise healthy patients.2 Recent…

Coronary bifurcation disease is present in up to 15–20 % of lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and remains one of the outstanding challenges of treatment with PCI.1,2 PCI for coronary bifurcations is associated with more procedural complications and higher restenosis and adverse event rates than lesions in the body of the vessel.3–7 The introduction of drug-eluting stents…

Hypertension becomes more common with increasing age. As we gradually move towards having a higher proportion of elderly people in the population, greater numbers of octogenarians are being treated for hypertension. In this article we describe the main features of hypertension in the elderly and describe some of the particular issues that affect elderly patients. We also discuss the results of…
