Exercise capacity is a spectrum that reflects an individual's functional capacity and the
dynamic nature of cardiac remodelling along with respiratory and skeletal muscle systems …

The cardiovascular and cardiorenal disease continuum comprises the transition from
cardiovascular risk factors to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, to clinical …

The cardiac microenvironment includes cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and macrophages,
which regulate remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Targeting this microenvironment …

Background Premature ventricular complex (PVC) ablation has been shown to improve left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and New York Heart Association functional class in …

Objectives We assessed the value of speckle tracking imaging performed early after a first
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in order to predict infarct size and …

Background The association of left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial infarction
(MI) with the subsequent risk of heart failure (HF) and death has not been studied in patients …

Introduction We sought to investigate the prognostic impact of incident left ventricular (LV)
systolic dysfunction at the chronic phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials and …

With the emergence of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as a powerful tool to
reverse left ventricular dysfunction in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB), there is …

Background—Infarct heterogeneity has been shown to be independently associated with
adverse outcomes in previous smaller studies. However, it is unknown whether infarct …

The epidemiology, clinical features and outcome of myocardial infarction (MI) display
significant differences between men and women. Prominent sex differences have also been …
