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… View more

Abstract The introduction of novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays has made it possible to measure cardiac troponin levels that are up to 10-fold lower than those detectable by conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. With such novel assays, an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was noted across the continuum of cTn levels, with an incremental risk of… View more

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is most common cause of syncope,1 with 37 % of the population suffering at least one attack during their life time.2 Head up tilt-table testing (HUTT) was first evaluated and used for the diagnosis of VVS in 1986.3–4 Prior to this, diagnosis relied purely on the clinical history and exclusion of other conditions. With almost 40 % of patients with VVS experiencing no… View more

Since endothelial damage and dysfunction play a critical role in atherosclerotic disease, research interest has aimed at evaluating the role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vascular endothelial layer maintenance. In contrast to local resident endothelial cells, which have a poor proliferative rate, the regenerative capacity of EPCs and their ability to integrate into blood vessels have… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent sustained arrhythmia. The estimation is that five million people suffer the disease in Europe,1 although this number may be even higher because many AF episodes are silent but still associated with a risk of complications.2–4 AF prevalence is increasing in developed countries in part due to the progressive increase in the mean age of the western… View more
