Eur Heart J . 2021 Sep; 43(1):44-52. PMID: 34468733
Aims: Operability of type A acute aortic dissections (TAAAD) is currently based on non-standardized decision-making process, and it lacks a disease-specific risk evaluation model that can predict mortality. We investigated...

JCI Insight . 2021 Jul; 6(16). PMID: 34283808
BACKGROUNDEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) directly overlies the myocardium, with changes in its morphology and volume associated with myriad cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, EAT's immune structure and cellular characterization remain...

Balmforth D, Yates M, Lau K, Hussain A, Lopez-Marco A, Edmondson S, et al.
JTCVS Open . 2021 Jun; 4:107-114. PMID: 34173548
Objective: In the United Kingdom, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to the cessation of elective surgery. However, there remains a need to provide urgent and emergency cardiac...

J Nucl Cardiol . 2021 Jun; 29(5):2119-2128. PMID: 34169473
Background: International guidance recognizes the shortcomings of the modified Duke Criteria (mDC) in diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) when transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is equivocal. F-FDG PET/CT (PET) has proven benefit in...

J Card Surg . 2021 May; 36(8):2865-2875. PMID: 33982282
It is now 50 years since the development of the first pericardial valve in 1971. In this time significant progress has been made in refining valve design aimed at improving...

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg . 2021 May; 60(6):1437-1444. PMID: 33963362
Objectives: The risk of brain injury following surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD) remains substantial and no consensus has still been reached on which neuroprotective technique should be preferred....

Chasapi A, Mbonye K, Bajomo O, Young W, Primus C, Ambekar S, et al.
Echocardiography . 2021 Mar; 38(4):590-595. PMID: 33711172
Background: Patients with acute severe aortic regurgitation (AR) due to infective endocarditis can progress rapidly from the hemodynamically stable patient to pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. We sought to identify...

Choudry F, Bagger F, Macaulay I, Farrow S, Burden F, Kempster C, et al.
J Thromb Haemost . 2021 Feb; 19(5):1236-1249. PMID: 33587817
Background: Megakaryocytes (MKs) originate from cells immuno-phenotypically indistinguishable from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bypassing intermediate progenitors. They mature within the adult bone marrow and release platelets into the circulation. Until...

Heart Lung Circ . 2020 Dec; 30(6):854-860. PMID: 33279409
Aim: The mortality of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) is high. The management of patients with large vegetations is controversial. This study sought to investigate the association of vegetation size...

Waddingham P, Behar J, Roberts N, Dhillon G, Graham A, Hunter R, et al.
Europace . 2020 Oct; 23(1):104-112. PMID: 33083830
Aims: Optimum timing of pacemaker implantation following cardiac surgery is a clinical challenge. European and American guidelines recommend observation, to assess recovery of atrioventricular block (AVB) (up to 7 days)...
