In this video, Dr Harald Thune Jorstad (Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, NL) discusses the findings of RESPONSE-2, a randomised trial aiming to investigate the long-term outcomes of community-based lifestyle interventions in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
The study showed that at 3 years follow-up, the benefits of 1 year of nurse-coordinated referral to community-based lifestyle…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of morbidity and premature mortality globally,1 and cardiac autonomic dysfunction is one of the risk factors for CAD.2 Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats and is one of the most promising non-invasive diagnostic methods for assessing autonomic dysfunction.
HRV…

The yearly incidence of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is approximately 5%, which is five times higher than in comparable populations in sinus rhythm (SR). The stroke risk largely depends on the underlying heart disease. In 'lone' AF (absence of heart disease) the stroke risk is only 0.5% per year, whereas in AF associated with rheumatic valvular heart disease (VHD), like mitral…

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…

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and its major manifestation acute MI (AMI) are the most common causes of death worldwide. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been recently recognised as a new emerging cardiovascular risk factor mediating in development of CAD risk. HHcy causes endothelial dysfunction, resulting in local thrombosis and subsequent ischaemia. However, the role of HHcy in…

Background: Globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) and its complications, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent condition and it is emerging as a new risk factor for CAD. However, the correlation between vitamin deficiency and an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease remains elusive.

Topic: 5. Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease.
Introduction and Objectives
Liaison critical pathways (LCPs) for coronary artery disease (CAD) were developed to support collaborative care for CAD patients between cardiologists in emergency hospitals and referring physicians through sharing of medical information, including cardio protective medications and cardiovascular risk…
