TL;DR: Cardiac tumours are diverse in clinical presentation, and atrial myxomas in particular may cause systemic symptoms mimicking collagen vascular disease, malignancy or infective endocarditis; there are several clinical features that are seen commonly with many cardiac tumours.

TL;DR: VH-IVUS TCFA was associated with nonrestenotic and total MACE on individual plaque analysis, and noncalcified VHTCFA wasassociated with nonRestenoticand total Mace on whole-patient analysis, demonstrating that VH- IVUS can identify plaques at increased risk of subsequent events.

TL;DR: Remote IPC reduces ischemic chest discomfort during PCI, attenuates procedure-related cTnI release, and appears to reduce subsequent cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: The proportion of patients with symmetric and distal ventricular hypertrophy was greater than that reported when patients are selected on the basis of M-mode diagnostic criteria and suggests that the recognition and understanding of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been biased by patients with asymmetric septalhypertrophy who previously were most readily identified.

TL;DR: Tranilast does not improve the quantitative measures of restenosis (angiographic and intravascular ultrasound) or its clinical sequelae and is not able to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
