Background Cardiology training is demanding and associated with high workloads. Poor lifestyle and health among clinicians may stretch workforces and impact patient care. It has not been established what impact training in cardiology has on the doctors undertaking it. We aimed to establish the prevalence of physical and mental illness, burnout and the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle among cardiology trainees in the United Kingdom (UK).

I was sent the ECG shown in Figure-1 — told only that the patient was a middle-aged man with septicemia. QUESTIONS: Is this rhythm too fast to be sinus tachycardia? Are flutter waves hidden within the QRS and T waves? Are we seeing the retrograde P waves of AVNRT? Is this ATach ( A trial T achycardia )? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. MY Thoughts on Today’s CASE: In my opinion — none of the above answers are optimal to describe the rhythm in Figure-1.

The heart is one of the most critical organs in the human body, responsible for pumping blood throughout the system to supply oxygen and nutrients. While a healthy heart maintains its size relative to the individual, conditions can cause it to enlarge—a condition known as cardiomegaly or an enlarged heart. An enlarged heart is not a disease but rather a symptom of an underlying issue.

Background Acute aortic dissection (AD) in pregnancy poses a lethal risk to both mother and fetus. However, well-established therapeutic guidelines are lacking. This study aimed to investigate clinical features, outcomes and optimal management strategies for pregnancy-related AD. Methods We conducted a retrospective multicentre cohort study including 67 women with acute AD during pregnancy or within 12 weeks postpartum from three major cardiovascular centres in China between 2003 and 2021.

Tissue regeneration is orchestrated by macrophages that clear damaged cells and promote regenerative inflammation. How macrophages spatially adapt and diversify their functions to support the architectural requirements of actively regenerating tissue remains unknown. In this study, we reconstructed the dynamic trajectories of myeloid cells isolated from acutely injured and early stage dystrophic muscles.

Background Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Serum uric acid (SUA), a product of purine metabolism, has been implicated in HF progression. However, the association between hyperuricaemia and the short-term readmission and mortality in patients with HF remains controversial. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed data from a HF database specific to the Chinese population.

In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those with trileaflet anatomy. Results of isolated surgical aortic valve replacement are excellent in suitable patients, and surgery also allows treatment of concomitant pathology of the aortic root and ascending aorta that is frequently encountered in this cohort.
