    Abstract Backgrounds/aims: Acute pancreatitis is an emergency presentation, which can range from mild to life threatening. Intravenous fluids are the cornerstone of management. Although the WATERFALL trial described the optimal fluid rate in mild/moderate pancreatitis, this trial excluded patients with moderate-severe/severe pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to establish clinical practice regarding intravenous fluid administration in acute pancreatitis and assess its effect on mortality.
    Methods: Prospective multi-centre audit of patients with acute pancreatitis was conducted. Data were collected regarding intravenous fluid administration within 72 hours of admission. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of 30-day mortality.
    Results: Those with severe pancreatitis received more fluid; median 5.7 L versus 4 L in 72 hours (
    Conclusions: In severe pancreatitis, more aggressive fluid prescription was associated with decreased mortality; however, this was not the case in milder disease. Further prospective trials guiding fluid resuscitation in severe pancreatitis are needed, as the impact of fluid on this population appears to differ from that in those with milder disease.

    Abstract Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition characterized by dyspnoea and deoxygenation in an upright position that is relieved by supine positioning. There are only five published accounts of it occurring post-lobectomy. We present the case of a 72-year-old male with 3 months of supposedly unexplained dyspnoea after right lower lobectomy for lung cancer who was confirmed to have POS. We highlight the importance of recognition and management as well as provide a brief summary of the pathophysiology.

    Abstract Importance: After anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), left ventricular (LV) remodeling results in heart failure and death. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta (CaMKIId) is a key molecular mediator of adverse LV remodeling.
    Objective: To determine whether NP202, an orally active inhibitor of CaMKIId, prevents LV remodeling in patients after anterior STEMI with early residual LV dysfunction.
    Design, setting, and participants: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial of NP202 vs placebo in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for anterior STEMI was performed from November 19, 2015, to August 1, 2018. The study was performed at 32 sites across the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Patients presenting with anterior STEMI who underwent PCI within 12 hours of symptom onset and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 45% on screening echocardiogram 48 hours after primary PCI were included in the study. Baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed within 5 days of the STEMI and before administration of the study drug. Follow-up CMR was performed after 3 months. Data were analyzed from November 19, 2015, to August 1, 2018.
    Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to NP202, 1000 mg, daily for 3 months vs corresponding placebo.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary end point was change in LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVi) on CMR. Secondary end points were change in LV end-diastolic volume index, change in LVEF, change in infarct size, and change in diastolic function. Safety and tolerability were also assessed.
    Results: A total of 147 patients (mean [SD] age, 58 [11] years; 129 men [88%]; 130 White patients [88%]) who experienced anterior STEMI treated with primary PCI were randomized to receive NP202 (73 [49.7%]) or placebo (74 [50.3%]). Baseline LVEF was similar between groups. At baseline, patients randomized to NP202 had greater LVESVi (48.2 mL/m2) than that in the placebo group (41.3 mL/m2; P = .03). However, the groups were otherwise well matched. For the primary end point of change in LVESVi from baseline to 3 months, there was no significant difference between the placebo (median [interquartile range] change, -0.60 [-9.28 to 5.99] mL/m2) and NP202 groups (-3.53 [-9.24 to 4.81] mL/m2) (P = .78). There was also no difference in the secondary efficacy end points assessed by CMR. NP202 was well tolerated and demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event rates were similar between groups. Two deaths occurred in each group during the follow-up period.
    Conclusions and relevance: Three months of treatment with NP202 after primary PCI for anterior STEMI with residual LV dysfunction did not improve LV remodeling. The drug was safe and well tolerated.

    Abstract Exercise stress electrocardiography is unreliable as a test for obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) if the patient has left bundle branch block. The authors provide an algorithm for using alternative tests: exercise stress echocardiography, dobutamine echocardiography, computed tomographic (CT) angiography, and nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging.

    Abstract Background: Current guidelines support exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) for evaluation of suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) in ambulant patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). Data regarding the diagnostic utility of ESE in patients with LBBB are limited.
    Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the diagnostic performance of ESE for the assessment of suspected OCAD is reduced in the context of LBBB.
    Methods: We studied 191 consecutive patients with resting LBBB undergoing ESE for the investigation of suspected OCAD between 2008 and 2015 at our center. The studies were categorized as inconclusive, normal, or abnormal. Patients with an abnormal response were subcategorized as regional ischemic response or globally abnormal.
    Results: Eighty-two patients (43%) demonstrated a normal left ventricular contractile response (LVCR) to exercise; 92 (48%) developed an abnormal LVCR to exercise, including 70 patients with globally abnormal and 22 patients with regional ischemic responses. Of the patients with abnormal responses, 62 patients had anatomic imaging, only 29 of whom had significant OCAD, conferring an overall specificity of ESE for significant OCAD of 21% and accuracy of 52%. Of patients who developed a regionally abnormal response, 89% had significant OCAD.
    Conclusions: For patients with LBBB who develop a globally abnormal LVCR during ESE, the specificity of ESE for reliably excluding significant OCAD is significantly reduced. ESE appears to be a suboptimal test for the evaluation of OCAD in patients with resting LBBB, as about 50% of patients will have an abnormal response, the majority due to globally abnormal contraction where OCAD cannot be reliably diagnosed. Alternative testing should be considered for the investigation of suspected OCAD in patients with resting LBBB.

    Abstract Background Exercise stress testing for cardiovascular assessment in kidney transplant candidates has been shown to be a feasible alternative to pharmacologic methods. Exercise stress testing allows the additional assessment of exercise capacity, which may have prognostic value for long-term cardiovascular outcomes in pre-transplant recipients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of exercise capacity on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in kidney transplant candidates. Methods and Results We retrospectively evaluated exercise capacity in 898 consecutive kidney transplant candidates between 2013 and 2020 who underwent symptom-limited exercise stress echocardiography for pre-transplant cardiovascular assessment. Exercise capacity was measured by age- and sex-predicted metabolic equivalents (METs). The primary outcome was incident major adverse cardiovascular events, defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke. Cox proportional hazard multivariable modeling was performed to define major adverse cardiovascular events predictors with transplantation treated as a time-varying covariate. A total of 429 patients (48%) achieved predicted METs. During follow-up, 93 (10%) developed major adverse cardiovascular events and 525 (58%) underwent transplantation. Achievement of predicted METs was independently associated with reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR] 0.49; [95% CI 0.29-0.82],

    Abstract Background: Imaging of the heart is important in the diagnosis and follow-up of a broad range of cardiac pathology. The authors discuss the growing role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in cardiology practice and its relevance to primary healthcare.
    Objective: In this article we discuss the advantages of CMR over other imaging modalities, and give a brief description of the common CMR techniques and cardiac pathologies where CMR is especially useful.
    Discussion: CMR provides specific advantages over other cardiac imaging modalities when evaluating pathology in congenital heart disease, cardiac masses, cardiomyopathies, and in some aspects of ischaemic and valvular heart diseases. The strength of CMR in these pathologies includes its precise ana-tomical delineation of structures, characterisation of myocardial tissue, and accurate, reproducible measurements of blood volume and flow. CMR is used in inpatient and outpatient settings, and is available primarily in major hospitals.
