The clustering of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors associated with insulin is known as 'syndrome XÔÇÖ, the 'deadly quartetÔÇÖ, and 'dysmetabolic syndromeÔÇÖ among others. In addition to the clustering of obesity, hypertension (HTN), glucose intolerance, high triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), other metabolic abnormalities have been associated with this syndrome, including…

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 cost and the risk of invasive angiography have encouraged the development of new diagnostic methods that allow the coronary arteries to be visualized non-invasively. The last decade has seen great strides in the field of cardiac imaging, particularly in the ability of cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to visualize the coronary lumen with excellent diagnostic accuracy (see Table 1…

It is presumed that the pathogenesis of stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is due to embolization of thrombus from the left atrium. Within the left atrium, the left atrial appendage is the predominant site of thrombus formation. In a study of 233 patients with new onset AF of greater than 48 hours in duration who were not anticoagulated, left atrial appendage thrombus was present in 15 %…

Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease.1 At the beginning of the last century, or even before, several authors described a possible association between diabetes and heart failure (HF).2 However, according to the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology guideline for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and HF, the first report of this…
