Surgical and interventional revascularisation of the ischaemic myocardium can treat angina, reduce risk of myocardial infarction and improve the function of the viable myocardium. However, the therapeutic possibilities in end-stage heart failure patients are limited. This article investigates alternative treatment options such…

Distinct hypertensive syndromes causing drug-resistant hypertension are increasingly being recognised. The ability to recognise these disorders has come as a result of a better understanding of their pathogenesis and the availability of sensitive and accurate diagnostic tools. The particular appeal of making the diagnosis centres around the potential curability of the hypertension, with…

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute, profound, but reversible heart failure syndrome, usually but not always triggered by physical or emotional stress. To date, the exact pathogenic mechanism of this syndrome remains unclear; however, several hypotheses involving vascular mechanisms (i.e. abnormal coronary epicardial or microvascular vasoreactivity),1-3 endocrine and gender-related mechanisms (i…

Abstract
The introduction of novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays has made it possible to measure cardiac troponin levels that are up to 10-fold lower than those detectable by conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. With such novel assays, an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was noted across the continuum of cTn levels, with an incremental risk of…

Progressive thickening of the aortic valve leaflets and narrowing of the aortic annulus leads to increased mechanical stress on the left ventricle and reduces cardiac output, resulting in further complications.1–3 The proportion of the population affected increases as the median age of a country or region rises. Approximately 2–4 % of people aged over 65 will develop calcific aortic stenosis,…
