Esophagectomy is associated with significant postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), occurring in 20-50% of patients. Although robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE) is a promising al...

It remains controversial whether extended arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) reduces dissection-related distal aortic events and improves long-term outcomes in patients with ascend...
Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function is an essential component of guideline-recommended management of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role and implications of right ventricular (RV) dys...
Wearable devices are transforming cardiovascular medicine by enabling continuous monitoring of physiologic and behavioural measures outside of traditional clinical settings. Smartwatches and activity ...
Persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) is often viewed as an intermediate stage between paroxysmal and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF); however, its progression and management pathways remain poorly...
Complete revascularization (CR) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD) is recommended, but the timing of revascularization, either immediate ...
Blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with cardiovascular risk and has been shown to confer prognostic information independent of mean blood pressure (BP). However, the consistency of its inc...
Reducing plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the cornerstone in the prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) but may also increase risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). A compr...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major contributor to the Australian healthcare burden, requiring frequent use of emergency medical services (EMS) and hospitalisations. The Safe Treatment of Atrial Fibri...
Stroke remains one of the most serious complications of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study evaluated temporal trends in 30-day stroke after TAVI, explored potential contributor...
The aim of this review is to give an overview of lipid-related risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) beyond low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol is a key dr...
Introduction of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has transformed the care of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction, establishing four foundational drug classes. Yet, in clinical p...
Conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacing frequently complicate transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Understanding of mechanisms causing conduction block is incomplete.
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is safe and feasible in congenital heart disease (CHD), but long-term follow-up data remain scarce.
Women, racial and ethnic minority groups, and patients of low socio-economic status (SES) face barriers linked to adverse outcomes after heart transplantation (HT). Data are lacking regarding the asso...
We sought to evaluate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use for low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) following congenital heart surgery. Our primary aims were: (1) To compare hospital mortality...
