Cardiovascular medicine has undergone a momentous change over the past 2 decades with the development of percutaneous transcatheter interventions for structural heart disease. This field has the greatest growth in interventional cardiology for the foreseeable future.1–3 The number of patients with acquired valvular heart disease and adult congenital heart disease will only rise in the future as… View more

Arterial baroreceptors play a crucial role in the adjustment of the cardiovascular system to several surrounding conditions. In a simplified paradigm, baroreceptor stimulation results in arterial pressure changes that can modulate both sympathetic and vagal activity and, as a consequence, heart rate and myocardial electrophysiological properties, contractility and vascular resistance. Arterial… View more

Hypertension is an important contributor to global morbidity and mortality and is a major burden on healthcare systems.1,2 More than 20% of the world’s population has high blood pressure when defined by conventional criteria: systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg.3,4 Even with therapeutic lifestyle and pharmacological measures, blood pressure remains poorly… View more

Much has been written, but little is known, about the long-term outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES). The introduction of DES has extended the use of stents from a passive platform for vessel wall scaffolding to an active biotechnology vehicle for local delivery of antiproliferative pharmacotherapy. Like any other therapy or medical technology, no treatment is perfect and free of potential… View more

Excess body weight in the form of adipose tissue is receiving a great deal of attention, given its profound detrimental implications for health and the burden it places upon the healthcare system. Body mass index (BMI) is perhaps the most commonly used measure for classifying subjects as either normal weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), or obese (≥30 kg/m2). While the BMI… View more

Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (ANRT) is a common arrhythmia in children and young adults.1 Since the early 1990s, radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway has been the treatment of choice for definitive therapy of this arrhythmia.2 More recently, cryoablation catheter technology has become available and is an alternative treatment.3-9 Should… View more
