ABSTRACT Background Calcified nodules (CN) and nodular calcifications (NC) present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of their protruding morphology and high rigidity, which often result in inadequate stent expansion and suboptimal procedural outcomes.

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Interventional Mitral Valve Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients Above 85 Years of Age
ABSTRACT Background Mitral valve transcatheter‐edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) is routinely performed in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at high operative risk, frequently including elderly patients. Patients ≥ 85 years, however, are frequently excluded in clinical studies.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.
