TL;DR: In patients with treated hypertension, a higher ambulatory systolic or diastolic blood pressure predicts cardiovascular events even after adjustment for classic risk factors including office measurements of blood pressure.

TL;DR: In this study, local complications and length of hospital stay were similar with the three possible approaches, and brachial approach was associated with a shorter arterial time.

TL;DR: Adequate therapeutic management including fluid resuscitation, cessation of inotropic therapy, intravenous β-blocker, and the use of intra-aortic balloon pump resulted in non-inferior survival in TTC patients withLVOT obstruction as compared to those without LVOT obstruction.

TL;DR: Atrial dysfunction is present immediately after conversion of atrial flutter to normal sinus rhythm, and this dysfunction occurs also after overdrive pacing and can last > 1 week.

TL;DR: It is concluded that although significant differences were detected between normal subjects and the 3 groups of athletes by routine ECG, the signal-averagedECG, and echocardiography, only an increased QT dispersion from the 12-lead ECG was helpful in distinguishing athletes with VT from other athletes.
