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).

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 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.
