Abstract Patients admitted during major medical conferences may receive different care if there are significant staff shortages. We evaluated the mortality of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) according to whether they were admitted during the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

Abstract Background Socio‐economic status (SES) is strongly linked to health outcomes but remains difficult to measure accurately. Conventional approaches based on large geographical units (e.g. postcodes) may obscure SES effects evident at smaller scales.

Trajectory of macrotroponin in a community cohort
Abstract Background Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a biomarker for myocardial injury. However, macrotroponin, a complex of cTnI and endogenous cardiac troponin autoantibodies, may artefactually elevate cTnI levels with potential to mislead clinicians, leading to inappropriate investigation and management.

ABSTRACT Introduction In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), recurrent VF may be treated with catheter ablation by targeting triggering premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and/or ventricular scar homogenization. Data on optimal ablation strategies in patients with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) remain limited.

Among patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, thiazolidinedione use was independently associated with a significantly reduced risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and all‐cause death, notably without an increased risk of admission for heart failure. ABSTRACT Background Thiazolidinediones (TZD) are a
