Heart International 2022;16(2):Online ahead of publication
Atrial fibrillation (AF), one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias, is considered to be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke and mortality. The prevalence of AF increases with age, and patients with AF are at risk of atrial thrombosis and its consequences.1 The pathogenesis of AF consists of inflammatory activity, structural remodelling and endothelial […]

European Journal of Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology. 2022;8(1):Online ahead of publication
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of treated cardiac arrhythmia. The prevalence of the condition increases with age, and it presents with a wide spectrum of symptoms and severity. As the population ages, particularly in developed countries, the burden of AF increases.1 Compared with sinus rhythm, AF is also associated with an increased incidence of […]

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with several cardiovascular disease manifestations, including acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, heart failure, thromboembolic complications and myocardial injury.1 Myocardial injury, defined as elevation in serum cardiac troponin levels, can occur with myocarditis, stress cardiomyopathy and microvascular thrombosis, and is associated with […]

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by cardiac pump dysfunction resulting in end-organ hypoperfusion and hypoxia.1,2 Although multiple treatment strategies have been explored in clinical trials, optimal therapy for CS is still debatable and mortality remains substantially high at around 50%.1 This need for improved treatment, together with a growing burden of patients with congestive […]

ThrombosisA Review of the Past, Present and Future of Cancer-associated Thrombosis Management
Heart International. 2022;16(2):Online ahead of journal publication
In this article, we review prior and recent landmark studies that have directed the treatment of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), discuss specific factors that influence anticoagulant choice, and explore ongoing trials that may impact treatment in the future. Older data estimated less than 1% of patients with malignancy developed venous thromboembolism (VTE), but more recent data […]
ArrhythmiaRadiofrequency Lesion Quality Markers: Current State of Knowledge
European Journal of Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology. 2022;8(1):Online ahead of publication
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation involves delivering medium-to-high-frequency alternating current, which is electrically conducted to cardiac tissue that constitutes a part of the circuit. The unipolar circuitry contains the generator, transmission lines, catheter, cardiac tissue, interposed tissue and dispersive electrode (ground pad/indifferent electrode). Bipolar systems, whereby the RF current flows between two electrodes, either on the same […]
Cardiovascular DiseaseVasospastic Angina: A Contemporary Review of its Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Management
Heart International. 2022;16(2):Online ahead of journal publication
Nearly half of patients who present with angina have non-obstructed coronary arteries (ANOCA).1 A significant proportion of these patients have a coronary vasomotor dysfunction, such as coronary microvascular disease and/or coronary artery spasm.2,3 Vasospastic angina (VSA) refers to a dysfunctional state where there is sudden coronary flow attenuation as a result of either epicardial or microvascular spasm, […]
