Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US with 700,000 deaths annually, of which 460,000 are attributable to sudden cardiac death (SCD).1,2 SCD is usually attributed to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Despite recent reductions in cardiac mortality from other causes, the incidence of SCD remains high with minimal decline in the last decade. The large majority of patients who suffer life…

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…

The US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, at an estimated 26.4 deaths per 100,000 live births. This rate is rising, although it is falling in other wealthy nations.1 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of maternal death, so cardiologists need to build on their knowledge and enhance their proficiency on the management of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy.2

Introduction
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in the absence of underlying structural heart disease have long been viewed as benign. Early studies with small population sizes and limited cardiac testing suggested that long-term prognosis in patients with idiopathic PVCs is similar to those in patients without other cardiac disease, and treatment was consequently limited to provide…

Background
Heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death and disability among both men and women in the US. Reductions in blood supply due to narrowings of the arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients (coronary arteries) result in chest pain and shortness of breath and may lead to permanent scarring of the heart muscle, as in the…
