of the efficAcy and safety of Trimetazidine in patients with angina pectoris having been treated by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (ATPCI) study showed no significant difference in the incidence of primary endpoint events between trimetazidine and placebo group in angina patients who recently underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the study had limitations specific to both, design and selection of patient population. Here, we present some explanations for the null effects of trimetazidine in the ATPCI study and their relevance in routine clinical practice.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have revolutionized treatment of cardiovascular disease in subjects with diabetes. However, previous meta-analyses of cardiovascular outcome trials failed to prove a significant effect on surrogate cardiovascular outcomes among female participants. Therefore, we sought to update these results, by incorporating data from the most recently published trials. We pooled available data from all available trials (EMPA-REG OUTCOME, DECLARE-TIMI 58, VERTIS CV, DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Reduced), except for the CANVAS trial. In the present updated meta-analysis we document that SGLT-2 inhibitors do not confer a significant decrease in the risk for major adverse cardiovascular events among women; however, they provide significant results in terms of reduction in the risk for cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, primarily driven by the results observed in the heart failure with reduced ejection fraction population. Better representation of women in future trials will provide further insights into the question whether there are true gender differences in the cardiovascular efficacy with this drug class.Major consequences of untreated severe mitral regurgitation (MR) includes heart failure, ventricular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension leading to significant morbidity and mortality. MitraClip is the most widely used device for treatment of severe MR. To overcome some of the shortcomings of MitraClip, novel devices like PASCAL mitral valve repair system are developed. We performed a single arm meta-analysis for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing PASCAL mitral valve repair system. The results showed that 93.8% patients had reduction in MR grade, with an average operative time of 88 min and an average increase of 86.33 m in 6-min walk test.STEMI is a major public health problem requiring timely reperfusion. Fibrinolysis remains prevalent reperfusion strategy where timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) cannot be performed. Adjunctive antithrombotic agents are of utmost importance for maximizing the benefit of fibrinolysis. This prospective study evaluates the angiographic outcomes in STEMI patients receiving fibrinolysis with optimal antithrombotic therapy and reported TIMI 3 flow rates of 33.8% and 41.5% for streptokinase and reteplase respectively, that were significantly higher than various prior studies. This data reiterates the utility of thrombolysis in resource limited settings.Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium with high morbidity and mortality; however, definite prognostic factors are still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictor of clinical outcomes of acute myocarditis focusing on electrocardiographic findings. The overall result of the study consists of a total of 51 patients demonstrated that wide QRS duration is a meaningful factor for predicting the fulminant course of acute myocarditis. This finding may encourage timely mechanical support resulting in better clinical outcomes.
Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) provides physiological pacing at low and stable threshold. The safety and efficacy of LBBP in elderly population is unknown. Our study was designed to assess the safety, efficacy and electrophysiological parameters of LBBP in octogenarian (≥80 years) population.
LBBP was successful in 10 out of 11 patients. Mean age 82.1±2.5yrs. Follow up duration 7.7 months(range4-10). Indication for pacing included atrioventricular (AV) block 5 patients, Left bundle branch block (LBBB) with low ejection fraction (EF) 4 patients, sinus node dysfunction in 1. QRS duration reduced from 145.9±27.7ms to 107.1±9.5ms (p value0.00001) LV ejection fraction increased from 47.6% to 58.4% after LBBP (p value0.017). Pacing threshold was 0.58±0.22V and sensed R wave 17.35±6.5mV and it remained stable during follow up. LBBB with low EF patients also showed similar reduction in QRS duration along with improvement in LVEF.
LBBP is a safe and effective strategy (91% acute success) of physiological pacing in elderly patients. LBBP also provided effective resynchronization therapy in our small group of elderly patients. The pacing parameters remained stable over a period of 10 months follow up.

This was retrospective, single-centre, post-marketing, observational study. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac event (MACE). A total of 141 patients (187 lesions) were treated with the study device. The average stent length and diameter was 24.75 ± 9.50 mm and 2.93 ± 0.38 mm, respectively. The cumulative incidence of MACE was 1.42%. No incidence of stent thrombosis was observed at 12-months follow-up. This retrospective study demonstrated favourable safety and performance of Metafor™ SES.
