Ischaemic heart disease is the leading single cause of death in the US and elsewhere, and a major health problem worldwide.1 The direct cost of hospitalisations for ischaemic heart disease in the US alone is enormous and amounts to more than US$15 billion. Consequently, it is very important to facilitate more definitive ischaemia evaluation while avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions of non…

Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has entered the level of daily clinical practice in many institutions worldwide. All studies previously performed on the diagnostic accuracy of CTCA have shown a high negative predictive value, indicating a high ability of this method to exclude relevant coronary artery disease.1–3 However, CTCA is highly demanding not just of the technology, but…

These patients experienced major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as…

The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and intracerebral, particularly aneurysmal, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a well-known phenomenon. ECG alterations are observed in 50-100% of patients during the acute stage of SAH.1-3 Frequently, these effects are clinically not important. Some SAH patients, however, have structural cardiac damage with elevation of creatine kinase…
