According to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, a systematic search for diagnostic clues, or ‘red flags’ (RFs), is recommended in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) to help tailor disease management. A new study published in the European Heart Journal has investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of these RFs across different HCM phenotypes and clinical…

Delays in diagnosis and treatment for patients with suspected heart failure (HF) in the community can lead to preventable hospitalisations and deaths. A new modelling study by Dr Kieran Docherty and colleagues suggests that early initiation of disease-modifying therapies in select patients at the time of an elevated natriuretic peptide test could significantly reduce these adverse outcomes…

AUTHOR: Jennifer ThomasThe long-standing debate over the benefits of heart rate (HR)-lowering drug treatment, particularly in patients with hypertension, has been addressed in a new large-scale meta-analysis. The findings, published in the European Heart Journal, suggest that the advantages of reducing HR are highly dependent on the patient's underlying clinical condition, with significant…

Frailty is a common and significant factor associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, but the prognostic utility of simple assessment tools in contemporary practice remains an area of investigation. A new study using data from a large Japanese registry has found that the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) effectively captures both physical and cognitive decline and is an…
