Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accordingly, prompt identification of patients with AMI is critical, as established therapies exist that are of proven benefit.1,2 More than 15 million patients per year present to emergency departments with symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischaemia in the US and Europe; only 20–30%, however, are…

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and life-threatening disease characterised by progressive vascular remodelling that leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular heart failure and death. PAH is defined by >25 mmHg increase in pulmonary arterial blood pressure and a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15 mmHg.1 If left untreated PAH is fatal; it has a…

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Two major pathways of disease development are acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable chronic angina.1,2 The success of prevention measures and early treatment pathways in ACS has helped to reduce the heart failure (HF) burden due to post-infarction remodelling and systolic dysfunction. However, accurately…

Refractory angina (RA) is defined as chronic angina-type chest pain (duration ≥ 3 months) associated with reversible ischaemia that persists despite optimal medical, interventional and surgical management.1
The clinical burden of RA is growing due to an ageing population and improved survival from coronary artery disease (CAD). Estimates suggest that in the US between 600,000 and 1.8 million…

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…

In the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), spontaneous and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-related embolisation results in a decreased efficacy of mechanical reperfusion and myocardial salvage. Direct stenting without predilation may decrease embolisation and the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon.1,2 More specific approaches to the problem of microvessel embolisation during…
