Angina is a common symptom in patients with CCS but remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Contemporary guidelines provide detailed information on diagnosing and treating angina based on evidence and expert consensus; however, their extensive nature may hinder uptake by non-specialists. This review presents a practical approach to diagnosing stable angina, followed by the three pillars of CCS management: 1) healthy lifestyle including appropriate exercise, diet, and avoiding toxic habits; 2) optimal medical therapy, including treatment recommended to prevent cardiovascular events and drugs for the control of myocardial ischemia and angina tailored to the patient's comorbidities; and 3) myocardial revascularization when indicated. This approach may be useful for practicing physicians but is not intended to substitute more detailed and authoritative documents. Checklists are proposed to help focus patient-physician interactions and make follow-up visits more efficient. This approach seeks to increase the proportion of correct angina diagnoses and patients receiving evidence-based treatments, emphasizing the importance of patient education, managing residual angina, and reducing cardiovascular risk. We include reference to the recently published 2024 ESC guidelines on chronic coronary syndromes.","PeriodicalId":12589,"journal":{"name":"Future cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of Type B dissections is guided by risk stratification. Complicated and high-risk Type B aortic dissections are managed either using endovascular or open surgical repair. Uncomplicated Type B dissections are managed medically. The role of the patency of the false lumen and the presence of reentry tears in the dissecting membrane are still contested. Here, we describe two cases of descending aortic dissections with varying anatomical features in the setting of cocaine use and uncontrolled hypertension. The first case uniquely had a triple lumen dissection with two true lumens, while the second case had two distal tears. Both patients initially had signs of reduced end organ perfusion that resolved with control of comorbid conditions. After multidisciplinary discussions, the decision was made to continue with anti-impulse treatment. Due to the radiological and biochemical absence of evidence of end organ injury even while visceral organs were supplied by the false lumen, our multidisciplinary team preferred conservative management with anti-impulse therapy. This serves as a demonstration of individualized management of Type B aortic dissection in patients with multiple comorbidities using carefully analyzed radiographic and biochemical evidence.","PeriodicalId":12589,"journal":{"name":"Future cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143669677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To present current treatment options for heart failure in individuals with overweight/obesity, emphasizing available pharmacological therapies, non-pharmacological strategies, and the management of related comorbidities. We conducted a comprehensive literature review regarding the results of heart failure treatments in individuals with overweight/obesity, including cornerstone interventions as well as emerging therapeutic options. Specific drug classes, including angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, have demonstrated consistent efficacy in heart failure irrespective of body mass index, while diuretics remain a key for fluid management. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have shown promising results in improving relevant outcomes and warrant further research. Non-pharmacological approaches, including weight-loss strategies and lifestyle modifications, have shown to improve symptoms, exercise tolerance and quality of life. Managing heart failure in individuals with overweight/obesity requires a multidisciplinary, individualized approach integrating pharmacological and non-pharmacological options.

The AngioVac device, a vacuum-based aspiration system commonly used for infective endocarditis, has potential in managing NBTE, particularly in patients unsuitable for surgery. This study systematically reviews the literature to evaluate AngioVac's effectiveness in reducing vegetations in NBTE.Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases through February 2024. Primary outcome was procedural success, defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in vegetation size on transesophageal echocardiogram. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, hospital stay length, and procedural complications.Results: Out of 38 identified articles, 4 case reports met inclusion criteria. Patients were male with a median age of 60 years, and NBTE was associated with conditions such as lung adenocarcinoma, end-stage renal disease, and antiphospholipid syndrome. The mitral valve was the most commonly affected site. AngioVac achieved 100% procedural success, with no complications or in-hospital mortality. The average hospital stay was 2 days. Follow-up revealed one patient alive at 2 months, one deceased at 3 months and no data for two patients.Conclusion: AngioVac is a promising tool for safely reducing vegetations in NBTE, especially for high-risk surgical candidates.The study design and protocol are registered with PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration number CRD42024505295).","PeriodicalId":12589,"journal":{"name":"Future cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143585372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
