BACKGROUND
Survivors of ischemic stroke are at high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), but individual risk varies. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and CAD polygenic risk scores (CAD-PRS) improve risk prediction in primary prevention; however, their prognostic value after stroke remains uncertain. We assessed whether Lp(a)...

BACKGROUND
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is increasingly used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Limited real-world data exists regarding safety and efficacy of PFA in Australia.
METHOD
We conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing de novo PFA for paroxysmal or persistent AF a...

BACKGROUND
Incidence and recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with several lifestyle risk factors. Lifestyle and risk factor modification (LRFM) clinics could have a role in comprehensively addressing AF from a holistic, patient-centered approach to improve clinical outcomes.
METHODS
We performed a s...

BACKGROUND
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral fat depot implicated in cardiovascular disease. While EAT volume has been associated with risk, it provides limited information regarding adipose tissue composition. Computed tomography (CT)-derived EAT attenuation is a marker of adipose tissue composition, but i...

The increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in cancer survivors is not fully elucidated. Understanding the coronary plaque burden and composition in survivors could address this gap.
To determine whether cancer survivorship is associated with greater coronary plaque burden and more adverse...
