Insights

The Chronic Ischaemic Cardiovascular Disease Long Term (CICD LT) registry tracked high-risk patients to evaluate adherence to treatment guidelines and long-term outcomes. This study offers insights into contemporary patient care and management strategies for CICD.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Clinical Research
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) established the Chronic Ischaemic Cardiovascular Disease Long Term (CICD LT) registry.
  • Chronic Ischaemic Cardiovascular Disease (CICD) affects a significant population at high cardiovascular (CV) risk.
  • Current treatment and outcomes for CICD patients require contemporary evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical profile, treatment modalities, and outcomes of patients with CICD.
  • To assess adherence to ESC guidelines for prevention and stable coronary disease management in high-CV-risk patients.
  • To determine mid- and long-term outcomes and their influencing factors in the CICD population.

Main Methods:

  • Enrollment of 9,174 adult patients with documented CICD between May 2015 and July 2018 across 154 centers in 20 ESC countries.
  • Collection of individual patient data on clinical profile, biology, and treatment.
  • Scheduled two-year follow-up to assess clinical outcomes including mortality, hospitalizations, medication changes, and quality of life (EuroQol5D-5L).

Main Results:

  • Data collection completed for a large cohort of CICD patients.
  • Follow-up data on mortality, hospitalizations, and quality of life are being collected.
  • Analysis will reveal adherence to guidelines and identify determinants of outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The CICD LT registry provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary care and outcomes for hospitalized CICD patients.
  • Findings will offer valuable insights into the management of this prevalent cardiovascular disease.
  • The study will highlight areas for improvement in guideline adherence and patient management.

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview01:17

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...
