Elevated Glycated Haemoglobin is a Strong Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction who are not receiving treatment for Diabetes Mellitus
Kevin Goode,Joseph John,Alan S. Rigby,Eric S Kilpatrick,Steve Atkin,Thanjuvar Bragadeesh,Andrew L. Clark,John G.F. Cleland +7 more
TL;DR: The abrupt increase in mortality with HbA1c may make it a useful risk stratification tool in non-diabetic patients with LVEF ⩽45% which could help improve clinical management.

Does aspirin attenuate the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in hypertension or heart failure?
TL;DR: The evidence is not sufficient to justify advising long-term aspirin therapy for patients with cardiovascular disease in general and for those with heart failure in particular, and unless there is an opportunity to randomize the patient into a study of antithrombotic strategies, then aspirin should be withdrawn or possibly substituted with an anticoagulant or an antiplatelet agent that does not block cyclooxygenase.

Joseph John,Gerald C. Kaye +1 more
TL;DR: A case where radiation treatment probably led to shock coil failure in implantable cardioverter defibrillator in the management of malignant ventricular arrhythmia is described.

Tako-Tsubo and reverse Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy: temporal evolution of the same disease?
TL;DR: A 58-year-old female presented with severe chest pain following news of bereavement, and ECG suggested myocardial ischaemia, and troponin-I (2.19 µg/mL) was raised.
What is the optimal medical management of ischaemic heart failure
TL;DR: There is no evidence, yet, that revascularisation improves prognosis in patients with heart failure, even in patients who are demonstrated to have extensive myocardial hibernation, and on current evidence,Revascularisation should be reserved for the relief of angina.
