Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Lipids have traditionally and solidly been linked to atherogenesis, but only lately has the role of inflammation in atheroma formation been given the attention it deserves.1–2 Clinical studies have provided the first evidence implicating inflammation in atherosclerosis. The experimental studies that… View more

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most prevalent chronic liver disease in western countries.1,2 It is closely associated with obesity, diabetes, dyslipidaemia and the metabolic syndrome, and shares common risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms with these entities.2,3 NAFLD can be associated with hepatocellular damage and inflammation and is then called non-alcoholic… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet the extent of the problem in women is frequently underestimated and, compared with men, women are less likely to be offered interventions, are less likely to be represented in clinical trials and have a worse prognosis. This article aims to examine the extent of the problem of CVD in women, summarise the… View more

Before the advent of surgery only 20% of children with congenital heart disease survived to adult life.1 Great achievements in paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery over the last few decades resulted in an increased survival of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Today we are facing the first generation of grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH) patients and the management of their… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. In the US, for example, CVD kills more men than the next seven causes of death combined, and more women than the next 16 causes of death combined. Some of the most dreaded effects of CVD result from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and its sequelae, including chronic angina, acute myocardial infarction (MI), heart… View more

The investigation of chest pain involves more than determining coronary anatomy. Discussions about whether non-invasive imaging might replace coronary angiography for the display of coronary anatomy must not detract from the fact that clinical assessment and dynamic functional imaging by echocardiography or nuclear imaging are at least equally important. Often, the need for imaging coronary… View more

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is generally defined as the persistent (at least 6 months) inability to achieve and maintain penile erection sufficient to allow satisfactory sexual performance.1 It is a common condition, and recent studies predict a higher prevalence of ED in the future.2 It is estimated that ED has affected more than 150 million men worldwide and this number will reach approximately… View more
