This achievement has been the result of the large number of high-quality manuscripts we receive for assessment for publication and the hard work of our section editors, steering committee members, associate editors and members of the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Jose Luis Zamorano Added: 3 years ago
Heart failure (HF) is a growing and increasingly important chronic disease of the Western world, occurring in at least 2% of the adult population and rising to 3% in those aged over 75 years. It is characterised by inadequate systemic perfusion due to impairment of the cardiac pump function. Clinical HF is a progressive condition, typically with high morbidity and mortality rates. It therefore… View more

Role of Mental Stress in Cardiovascular Disease The pathophysiology of how mental stress affects and modulates the cardiovascular system is incompletely understood. Chronic stress has long been suspected to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders (CVD), either through direct or indirect mechanisms.1,2 Stress is known to activate two biological systems: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal… View more

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Author(s): Jacob George , Thomas M MacDonald Added: 3 years ago
Hypertension increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure1 and is the leading preventable risk factor for global cardiovascular (CV) disease burden worldwide.2 At ages 40–69 years, each increase of 20 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (BP) is associated with more than a doubling of the baseline mortality rate from cardiovascular disease (CVD).3 However, despite the… View more

The cumulative evidence base informing almost every aspect of myocardial infarction acute coronary syndrome (ACS) care is expansive and has been associated with a decline in the rate of mortality. Within the context of current-era clinical trials of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, 30-day mortality rates of 4–5% have now been reported for high-risk individuals,1,2 with similar rates… View more

Cardiovascular disease causes 4.35 million deaths per year in Europe (49% of all deaths) and costs the EU an estimated €169 billion per year. Hypertension, which is defined as blood pressure (BP) above 140/90mmHg, is one of the most common treatable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Almost half of all European adults aged 35–64 years have hypertension. Although it is well established that… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Maria Chiara Scali , Doralisa Morrone , Mario Marzilli Added: 3 years ago
As coronary angiography is of limited value in defining the functional significance of a stenosis, the timely article by Balanescu in this issue of European Cardiology Review rationally proposes to integrate the anatomic information with a functional assessment, either by measuring coronary flow reserve (CFR) or intracoronary artery pressure with fractional flow reserve (FFR). CFR measurements… View more

Topic: 3. Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy Introduction and Objectives LCZ696 has been considered class I B in the recent ESC Guidelines of heart failure (HF) for stable HF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 35%, who remain symptomatic after the standard therapy, based on the results of the PARADIGM trial. This study showed a significant reduction in the risk of… View more
