COVID-19: Providing ongoing care to patients with cardiovascular disease in a pandemic
20 Mar 2020
The world is facing unprecedented challenges as a result of a bug called COVID-19 (Sars-CoV-2) that has literally gone “viral” across the globe affecting >250K individuals in 183/195 countries, claiming >10,000 lives in a short period of time (as of 15:00 20/3/2020).

Morphine and cardiovascular outcomes among patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes undergoing coronary angiography
17 Feb 2020
EARLY ACS was a randomised control trial assessing early versus delayed use of eptifibatide in patients presenting with NSTE-ACS and high-risk features. In this subanalysis, the authors evaluate the association between morphine and ischaemic events in patients pre-treated with clopidogrel.

Ticagrelor alone versus dual antiplatelet therapy from 1 month after drug-eluting coronary stenting
10 Nov 2019
One of the most discussed limitations of GLOBAL-LEADER is the lack of event adjudication so that the rate of MI, bleeding or stent thrombosis between the two groups were unknown. In this study, events were adjudicated in those patients from the 20 top-enrolling participating sites.

Ticagrelor with or without aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI
07 Oct 2019
The TWILIGHT trial was designed to test the hypothesis that in patients undergoing PCI who are at high risk for ischemic or hemorrhagic complications and who have completed a 3-month course of DAPT with ticagrelor plus aspirin, continued treatment with ticagrelor monotherapy would be superior to ticagrelor...

Rapid NSTEMI Pathways in 2019: why every PCI centre needs one and how to set it up
Patrick Calvert (UK) explains to Dejan Milasinovic (Serbia) how his centre has set up a protocol to treat high-risk NSTEMI patients with the aim of achieving the guideline recommended time of 24 hours from presentation to Cathlab. They discuss the design of the system and what...
Mechanical circulatory support devices to protect patients during high-risk PCI
Performing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in complex patients requires the interventional cardiologist to use mechanical circulatory support devices to achieve safer outcomes. Which patients are most at risk of complex PCI? What are the best mechanical circulatory support devices currently available and which has the strongest...

What every interventional cardiologist should know about new cardiovascular drugs
Hannah McConkey (UK) talks to cardiologist and pharmacologist Atul Pathak (France) about the important changes in recent drug therapy. They discuss the easy-to-use lipid-lowering PCSK9 inhibitors, and ask should cardiologists now be prescribing the new classes of antidiabetic drugs? The key messages in antithrombotic therapy, and how to...
