Background Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective To develop and validate a 10-year predictive model for cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CVMD) risk using ...

Introduction Atrial fibrosis identified on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been proposed as a preprocedural ...

Background Left ventricular mass (LVM) is suggested to be a sensitive predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as ...

Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease and the most common comorbidities of atrial fibrillation (AF), which is prevalent with age. Nonetheless, the prognosis of ...

Background Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a severe and fatal complication of uncorrected congenital heart disease characterised ...

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increased risk of stroke. Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke, but AF is elusive. A machine learning algorithm (Future ...

Background Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant improvements in the management of HF, the overall outcome remains poor. In addition to ...

Background Fabry disease (FD) is an X linked lysosomal disorder with ventricular myocardial involvement that drives morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be difficult.

Background The life-long exposure of the left heart chambers to systemic blood pressures may be important to changes in left atrial (LA) function with age, but long-term follow-up studies are scarce.
