Meet the Trialist: The "Sweet Spot" from RELIEVE-HF
The RELIEVE-HF trial (NCT03499236) evaluated the efficacy of interatrial shunting using the Ventura shunt in heart failure (HF) patients with reduced (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This global study randomised 508 participants to receive either the shunt or a placebo procedure, alongside optimal medical therapy. The study's primary endpoint – combining mortality, heart transplant […]

Resistant Ventricular Tachycardia: What Are We Missing?
A 64-year-old male with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) was referred for repeat ablation. He had undergone three prior VT ablation procedures elsewhere. His medical history included prior myocardial infarction and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated basal inferior and anteroseptal subendocardial scar with overall preserved left ventricular function. Reports from his previous VT ablation procedures suggested low endocardial voltage at the basal inferior/inferoseptal left ventricle.

The Canary in the Coal Mine: Left atrial function in heart failure
The left atrium (LA) is highly sensitive to sustained volume and pressure overload secondary to increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. The stepwise backward effects of impaired LA functional properties lead to a reduction in pulmonary vessel compliance and vascular remodeling, ultimately resulting in right ventricular (RV) overload and dysfunction.

Cardiovascular risk emerges earlier by birth weight and preterm birth status in the United States add health sample
Preterm birth and low birth weight are associated with an increased risk of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which significantly contribute to increased mortality. Much of the literature supporting these assertions are from countries outside of the United States. The current study aims to explore the relationship between preterm birth and birth weight status, and cardiovascular risk emergence among young adults in the United States.
