Sleep apnea is a highly prevalent yet frequently underdiagnosed comorbidity in heart failure (HF). Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) offer a pragmatic approach for continuous screening without additional procedures or costs. We retrospectively analyzed registry-based data to evaluate the relationship...

AIM
This trial investigated whether colchicine, an anti-inflammatory treatment, affects cardiovascular structure and function, assessed by arterial stiffness, blood pressure and biochemistry, compared with placebo.
METHODS
COHERENT was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the effects of colchicine...

BACKGROUND
Influenza vaccination is recommended for cardiovascular secondary prevention, but the comparative effectiveness of different dose strategies remains incompletely characterised.
METHODS
We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL for randomised trials comparing high-dose (HD-IIV), double standard-dose, standar...

AIMS
To investigate the association between serial high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-TnT) concentrations and subsequent heart failure in individuals presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
METHODS AND RESULTS
Utilizing Danish nationwide registries, we identified individuals without known heart...

BACKGROUND
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of severe respiratory disease in adults, with the highest burden among older adults and individuals with chronic health conditions. The bivalent RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine has been shown to prevent RSV-associated respiratory illness, but data fro...

BACKGROUND
Frailty is a major risk factor for influenza-related complications and can influence vaccine effectiveness. We aimed to assess the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of high-dose (HD-IIV) versus standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (SD-IIV) in older adults aged 65 years or older according to frailty...

BACKGROUND
Sex differences in chronic heart failure are well established, but corresponding differences in acute heart failure (AHF), particularly in multimodal imaging findings and short-term recovery, remain incompletely characterized.
METHODS
In this prospective observational study, 567 adults hospitalized with AH...

In adults aged 60 years or older, RSVpreF vaccination reduced hospitalisations for RSV-related respiratory tract disease with no statistical evidence of effect modification by immunosuppression status; however, the study was not powered to exclude subgroup differences.
