Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a state of systemic tissue hypoperfusion due to cardiac failure in the presence of adequate intravascular volume.1 Left ventricular pump failure leading to CS remains one of the most serious and challenging conditions over time in cardiology and is still the most common cause of hospital mortality associated with myocardial infarction (MI).2 This review focuses on CS in… View more

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease in the US, affecting 29% of the adult population.1 Once considered a benign, compensatory mechanism for ageing, high blood pressure (BP) is now recognised as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that inadequate BP control is responsible for 62% of cases of cerebrovascular disease, 49% of cases of ischemic heart… View more

Heart failure (HF) has become a significant public health problem, with a rapidly rising incidence and prevalence that is predicted to continue to rise far into the 21st century.1 Overall, 1-2% of the adult population in developed countries worldwide suffers from HF but prevalence increases 10-fold in those over 75 years of age.2 Because the incidence of HF rises with age its prevalence will… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, having an estimated combined prevalence of 6.8 million in the EU and the US.1,2 It is characterised by unco-ordinated atrial activation followed by the deterioration of mechanical function, which results in disturbances to sinus rhythm and ventricular rate.2 An increased risk of heart failure (HF), thrombo-embolism, cardiomyopathy, a… 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

We are witnessing an epidemic global increase in the prevalence of obesity and its clinical consequences (e.g. insulin resistance and diabetes). This epidemic has been potentiated and sustained by the widespread adoption of unhealthy lifestyles in broad swathes of the population and is characterised by a sedentary lifestyle and an imbalance between the type and characteristics of nutrition,… View more
