TL;DR: Gradual implementation of new and established evidence-based treatments in STEMI patients during the last 20 years has been associated with prolonged survival and lower risk of recurrent ischaemic events, although a plateauing is seen since around 2008.

TL;DR: An increased prevalence of cardiac structural abnormalities such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and valvular and myocardial calcification has been observed and Associations have been found between PTH and LVH, and between LVH and serum calcium.

TL;DR: Supervised exercise training was safe and beneficial in heart failure patients < or = 75 years, especially in men with ischaemic aetiology, and the effects of exercise training in women and patients with non-ischaemicAetiology should be further examined.

TL;DR: Eyeballing ejection fraction correlated closely with all formal methods and the correlation coefficient improved with the reliability of the formal method, indicating that eyeballing ejections fraction may be the most accurate echocardiographic method for the assessment of left ventricular systolic function.

TL;DR: There was no important sustained benefit 6 months after termination of an exercise training programme in heart failure patients, but a small, probably clinically insignificant sustained improvement in PGACQoL was seen in post-training patients.
