BACKGROUND: Expert consensus statements on management of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) emphasize the importance of having discussions about deactivation before and after implantation. These statements were developed with limited patient input. The purpose of this study was to identify...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that depressed patients would have lower use of guideline-directed medical therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).METHODS: We included all patients who underwent primary isolated CABG in Sweden between 2006...

BACKGROUND: Aortic elastic properties are determinants of left ventricular function by means of ventriculo-arterial coupling and indicators of cardiovascular risk. Aortic valve stenosis surgical replacement temporary reduces aortic function damaging vasa vasorum, while transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) does...

Left atrial emptying fraction predicts limited exercise performance in heart failure patients.
