With the predefined cut-offs, HeartDiet's suitability as a screening tool to assess needs for dietary interventions was limited, since no respondents were categorised as having a heart-healthy diet. An abridged...
The study assessed the HeartDiet tool in cardiac rehab, finding limited screening utility as no patients met heart-healthy criteria; an abridged version is feasible but reduces educational value.

There exist large survival differences after ICD implantation between implanting centres in Belgium that cannot only be explained by a volume-outcome effect. Centres size and characteristics are inhomogeneous and vary...
ICD implantation outcomes in Belgium vary significantly across centres, with higher 3-year mortality in low-volume centres, influenced by patient characteristics and socio-economic factors beyond procedural volume alone.

Purpose To investigate the association between the anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (R-AAOCA) from the left coronary sinus with interarterial course (IAC) found at coronary CT angiography...
A study of 224 patients with R-AAOCA from the left sinus found no link to sudden cardiac death. Coronary artery disease, not radiologic features, predicted major adverse cardiovascular events.
Data from 5,818 European patients show ≥50 % response rates hit 56 % at 6 months, but fall sharply with higher baseline MMD and disability. Early use = higher odds of good or excellent response.
Are we waiting too long to pull the CGRP trigger?
