An episode of acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS) can be defined as a rapid or gradual onset of signs and symptoms of heart failure that result in hospital admission. Over 70% of AHFS events are the result of worsening chronic heart failure.1 Other causes of AHFS include new-onset heart failure due to an acute coronary event, such as a myocardial infarction (MI), and end-stage or refractory… View more

Heart Failure

Previously considered to be separate disease entities, the acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are somewhat arbitrarily divided on the basis of their electrocardiographic manifestations and are now thought to arise from a common disease process. Based on a number of factors, the severity of the ACS and, consequently, their attendant clinical risk may vary. The management of patients with ACS should… View more

Intracoronary Imaging in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Author(s): Ziad A Ali Added: 1 year ago
BCIS ACI 2023 – Dr Ziad Ali (St Francis Hospital & Heart Center, Roslyn, NY, US) summarises his ACI keynote lecture on intracoronary imaging in acute coronary syndromes. Dr Ali briefly discusses the FLAVOUR trial demonstrated that in patients with with intermediate coronary stenosis, FFR-guided PCI is noninferior to IVUS-guided PCI. Recorded on-site BCIS ACI 2023, London. View more

Optimizing Clinical Outcomes in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Author(s): Sabu Thomas , Andrew J Boyle , Gary S Francis Added: 3 years ago
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a syndrome defined by worsening fatigue, dyspnea, or edema that results from deteriorating heart function and usually leads to hospital admission or unscheduled medical intervention.1 Among patients over 65 years of age it remains the leading cause of hospital admission (>1 million admissions per year in the US alone), has an exceptionally high rate… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Jeffrey Tabas Added: 3 years ago
Approximately five million people present to the emergency department (ED) each year with chest pain, and billions of dollars are spent on assessment and treatment. Many therapies are time-dependent, so rapid identification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) - at high risk for adverse outcomes is essential. Missed or… View more

Abstract The introduction of novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays has made it possible to measure cardiac troponin levels that are up to 10-fold lower than those detectable by conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. With such novel assays, an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was noted across the continuum of cTn levels, with an incremental risk of… View more
