Coronary artery dilation [defined in CAAR (Coronary Artery Aneurysm Registry) as a diameter exceeding 1.5× an adjacent normal coronary segment or the largest normal artery] is evident in at least 0.35% of all diagnostic coronary angiograms. 1 Coronary aneurysms are discrete dilated segments bounded by normal coronary ...

This year, fascinating new discoveries, particularly in the field of atrial fibrillation (AF) and long QT syndrome (LQTS), advanced our understanding of arrhythmias. In this brief report, we emphasize this development by focusing on the ten most influential papers. We anticipate paradigm shifts in screening for AF, ...

Research Article
Background and Aims Emerging evidence has raised an obesity paradox in observational studies of body mass index (BMI) and health among the oldest-old (aged ≥80 years), as an inverse relationship of BMI with mortality was reported. This study was to investigate the causal associations of BMI, waist circumference (WC), or ...

Research Article
Background and Aims Coexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer challenge the management of both. The aim of the study is to comprehensively provide the epidemiology of coexisting AF and cancer. Methods Using Dutch nationwide statistics, individuals with incident AF ( n = 320 139) or cancer ( n = 472 745) were ...

Research Article
Background and Aims Female sex has been linked with higher risk of ischaemic stroke (IS) in atrial fibrillation (AF), but no prior study has examined temporal trends in the IS risk associated with female sex. Methods The registry-linkage Finnish AntiCoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation (FinACAF) study included all patients ...

Review Article
Clinical risk scores based on traditional risk factors of atherosclerosis correlate imprecisely to an individual’s complex pathophysiological predisposition to atherosclerosis and provide limited accuracy for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Over the past two decades, computed tomography scanners and ...

Research Article
Background and Aims Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) suffer from severe myocardial injury during daunorubicin (DNR)-based chemotherapy and are at high risk of cardiac mortality. The crosstalk between tumour cells and cardiomyocytes might play an important role in chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity, but this has ...
