Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient form of acute heart failure that mimics an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with comparable acute adverse outcome.1 Many hypotheses have been formulated, but the pathophysiology of TTS is still not fully understood. Recently, it was demonstrated that specific alterations in neurological response and sympathetic activation after emotional stimuli are present…

Abstract
Little is known about gender-related differences in clinical variables affecting the survival in inpatients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We recorded and compared clinical data and long-term mortality between 126 males and 124 females hospitalised with paroxysmal/persistent AF. Women were older and more symptomatic than men. Hypertension and renal dysfunction were more common in…

Epidemiological studies and hospital discharge series suggest that many patients diagnosed with heart failure have a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).1–6 Data from the EuroHeart Failure Survey suggest a bell-shaped distribution of LVEF.3 The bell is shifted to the right (higher levels) in women and in older patients (see Figure 1). These studies also suggest that the prognosis of…

ESC-HFA 2023 – Prof John Cleland (University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK) discusses the findings from a study that looked at the diagnostic of heart failure in a cohort of 1.1 million people using the NHS EMR database.
Finding presented at Heart Failure 2023, showed that more people treated with LD than receive diagnosis of heart failure, this disparity was greater in women compared to men.

Pulmonary embolism is mainly caused by deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities, mostly due to longer immobilisation and/or restricted venous backflow. Thus, most patients have a typical history; however, symptoms may be misinterpreted and therapy delayed. While smaller or fragmented thrombi in the peripheral segments of the pulmonary arteries may only cause dyspnoea and hardly any…

In this short interview from ACC.22, Dr Paolo Della Bella (San Raffaele University-Hospital, IT) joins us to discuss the findings of the PARTITA trial (NCT01547208). The aim of this study was to determine whether the burden of ventricular tachycardia correlates with ICD shock therapies and if the timing of VT ablation affects patient prognosis.
