With great pride we are attaching our Cardiovascular research group’s current research publication as part of the RAPID CTCA trial between 2017-2019 . This trial recruited intermediate risk ACS patients and randomised for CCTA guided and standard clinical care arm. In the subgroup analysis it show the non superior value of the peri-coronary artery adipose tissue c/w … Read more
Please find this excellent piece of work from our joint PhD student Qi Yong (Cranfield University – MKUH TCRG.org.uk) entitled: Non-invasive cardiovascular and vital signs monitoring techniques, as a systematic review of emerging contactless cardiovascular monitoring techniques. This article compares radar-based methods, optical measurements, ballistocardiograph, contactless electrocardiogram (ECG), and wearable devices across eight key dimensions. The co-autors are: (Prof … Read more
We are pleased to communicate that the Chair of our Hospital has visited the Research Group (TCRG) on 29 October. The Chair had a tour of Cardiology and sat down with the researchers who represented our Research team at the European Society of Cardiology Annual meeting in Madrid. The two poster presentations were discussed that … Read more
This study systematically evaluated the long-term outcomes of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). It analysed data from four trials involving 1764 patients with a median follow-up of 35.7 months. Positive MPS results, indicating reversible perfusion defects, were linked to higher risks of major adverse cardiovascular events … Read more
This case report discusses the tragic outcome of a young female patient in her early 50s with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) who underwent multiple mitral valve replacements. Initially diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at age 12, she received a bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement (bMVR) 26 years later, which degenerated after 13 years, leading to severe … Read more

Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a formidable clinical challenge. It affects 3–10 peopleper 100,000 annually, with a 30-day mortality rate of up to 30%. The incidence of IEhas risen due to advancements in cardiac care, including the increased use of intra-cardiacelectronic devices (CIEDs) and interventions for structural heart disease. The InternationalCardiology Societies underscore the importance of … Read more
In this paper we discuss the relevance of continuity equation based aortic valve area (AVA) calculation as a robust parameter suitable for accurate grading of aortic stenosis (AS) irrespective of flow conditions. Combining the AVA based grading and echocardiography-based staging, can provide with the most comprehensive clinical assessment of patients with AS and preserved left … Read more
