Non-invasive assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary hypertension: Current knowledge and future direction [PDF]
Pulmonary Hypertension (PHT) is relatively common, dangerous and under-recognised. Pulmonary hypertension is not a diagnosis in itself; it is caused by a number of differing diseases each with different treatments and prognoses.

An overview of the current genetic and phenotypical selection strategies to reduce the prevalence of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy = Een overzicht van de huidige genetische en fenotypische selectiestrategieën tegen hypertrofe cardiomyopathie bij de kat [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common and potentially lethal heart disease in cats. To reduce its prevalence, breeding cats are frequently screened on the basis of their phenotype or genotype.

Left Ventricular Volumes in Valvular Heart Disease [PDF]
Left ventricular volumes were determined in 86 patients with aortic and mitral valve disease by use of a biplane angiocardiographic technic in conjunction with cardiac catheterization. Total stroke output of the left ventricle was grossly increased by severe degrees of valvular incompetence.

Prolonged PR interval, first-degree heart block and adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcomes. This study
