A 2-stage national campaign promoting physical activity for patients with chronic diseases (including cardiovascular disease) was implemented in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg in 2018. The first stage consisted of national TV and radio advertisements broadcasted from June 15, 2018 to July 29, 2018. The second stage was a promotional mail sent to all...

Elevated plasma levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a marker of tubular damage and aid in the early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI). We evaluated NGAL levels for identification of AKI superimposed on chronic kidney disease (CKD) vs. "de novo" AKI among ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients underg...

Opportunistic screening for silent atrial fibrillation (AF) is recommended to reduce stroke, but screening rates are sub-optimal in general practice. We hypothesize that patient self-screening in the waiting room may improve screening and detection of AF. This proof-of-concept study tests a purpose-designed AF self-screening station and customised ...

Background Telecardiology has the advantage of reducing patient's access time to the hemodynamics units. Data from literature show a reduction in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a low number of studies on the impact of telecardiology during the pandemic. Methods Our telecardiology system is com...

Background Recent studies have shown that patients diagnosed with coronarivus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and also with previous cardiovascular diseases have a higher mortality due to worsening heart disease. At the same time, patients without previous cardiovascular disease may also have cardiac complications. The aim of this multicenter study was to ...

Background Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is diagnosed in 1–2% of all patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. Next to the typical apical manifestation, other locations of left ventricular contraction abnormality are possible, but their relationship to patient characteristics, clinical correlates as well as long-term outcome are poorly understoo...

Background Bleeding in the context of cardiac catheterization is frequent and negatively impacts on short- and long-term patient outcome. We evaluated the clinical impact of in-hospital bleeding events after transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) in the long-term follow- up. Methods 586 consecutive patients treated with first-time TMVr were enrol...

Background Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular disorder with a large symptomatic burden resulting from increased myocardial workload due to valvular obstruction. The contribution of increased afterload from arterial stiffness on symptoms is uncertain. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the symptomatic impact of arterial stiffness a...

Background The Ace polymorphism had shown association with ACE activity, premature atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, LV dysfunction, LV remodelling, severity and extent of CAD and mortality after MI. Though ACE I/D polymorphism has been reported to be associated with various cardiovascular diseases it remained a controversial risk factor and ...

Background Patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) use for primary prevention (primary prevention patients) of sudden cardiac death have lower incidence of appropriate ICD therapy (app-Tx) compared with those with ICD use for secondary prevention (secondary prevention patients). However, detail analysis of a second app-Tx after a...
