Abstract Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common finding in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). SDB can cause negative effects on the cardiovascular system and can contribute to the worsening of the underlying disease. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a major independent risk factor for the manifestation and progression of cardiovascular diseases, whereas central sleep apnoea (CSA)… View more

Up to 50% of patients who undergo elective coronary angiography for stable chest pain symptoms that are mainly related to exercise and typical enough to suggest the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are found to have normal or near-normal coronary arteries.1 The mechanisms responsible for angina chest pain in these patients are heterogeneous; accordingly, their identification… View more

According to the latest position statement of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), cardiomyopathies (CMP) are defined as “myocardial disorders in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality”.1 CMP may be… View more

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, with its versatility and ability for soft tissue characterisation in conjunction with the lack of ionising radiation, has over the past decade evolved as a first-line imaging tool for several diagnostic problems.1 Developments in this field, especially the introduction of the ‘late enhancement’ (LE) imaging technique by the working group of Kim and… View more

Inherited cardiomyopathies are primary disorders of the heart muscle that have a genetic basis. On long-term follow-up they are associated with adverse outcomes, particularly sudden death, arrhythmia and heart failure.1 The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical, cardiac imaging (primarily with transthoracic echocardiography) and genetic features,2 ideally by a tertiary inherited cardiac… View more

Amyloidosis is a condition characterised by accumulation of pathologic fibrillar proteins in organs causing dysfunction.1 Several protein precursors have been shown to cause amyloidosis.2 Cardiac amyloidosis, when waxy, starch-like deposits infiltrate the heart, is most commonly secondary to the accumulation of amyloid fibrils derived from immunoglobulin light chains (AL) or transthyretin (ATTR)… View more

UZ Clear Finds 50% Patients with Angina Have Evidence of CAD
Author(s): Carlos Collet Added: 2 years ago
In this video, Dr Carlos Collet (Cardiovascular Center OLV-Aalst, Aalst, BE) outlines the findings of the UZ Clear study, originally presented at CRT 2022. The UZ Clear study was designed to analyse the diagnostic performance of non-invasive cardiac stress tests to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients. Dr Collet reveals that around half the patients presenting with chest pain had… View more
