Clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Abstract Aims The clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the prevalence and prognostic impact of TR in post‐AMI patients treated with appropriate primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Abstract Aims Myocardial inflammation is increasingly recognized for its association with impaired clinical outcomes in cardiac amyloidosis but a trend towards less invasive diagnosis impedes its detection. The aim of this study was to assess magnetocardiography (MCG) as a potential non‐invasive method to diagnose myocardial inflammation in patients ...

Abstract Background and aims The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), that is, the pulmonary artery pulse pressure (PAPP) divided by the mean right atrial pressure (mRAP), is an increasingly used invasive index of right ventricular function. We sought to assess the prognostic impact of the PAPi in unselected patients with aortic stenosis (AS ...
