    Abstract Purpose of review: Diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk equivalent, but the optimal methods of risk stratification are a matter of debate. The coronary calcium score (CCS) is a measure of the burden of atherosclerosis and is widely used for CVD risk stratification in the general population. We review recently published data to describe the role of the CCS in people with diabetes mellitus.
    Recent findings: People with diabetes mellitus have 10-year event rates for CVD and CVD mortality that are considered high, at a much lower level of CCS than the general population. Different categories of CCS are pertinent to men and women with diabetes mellitus. CCS may be particularly useful in clinical settings when CVD risk is known to be increased but difficult to quantify, for example peri-menopausal women, young persons with diabetes, type 1 diabetic individuals and others. With modern techniques, the radiation dose of a CSS has fallen to levels wherein screening and surveillance could be considered.
    Summary: The CCS is able to quantify CVD risk in people with diabetes mellitus when there is clinical uncertainty and identifies those with very high event rates. Future research should aim to identify effective risk reduction strategies in this important group.

    Abstract Background: Brugada syndrome (BS) is a hereditary channelopathy associated with syncope, malignant ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death. Right ventricular ischaemia and BS have similar underlying substrates precipitating ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VF).
    Case summary: A 72-year-old woman with BS and a stenosis on the proximal right coronary artery received several subsequent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks due to VF during an episode of extreme nausea with vomiting.
    Discussion: This case report emphasizes on the synergetic effect of mild ischaemia and increased vagal tone on the substrate responsible for BS to create pathophysiological changes precipitating VF.

    Abstract The segmentation and analysis of coronary arteries from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is an important aspect of diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease. Current image processing methods are hindered by the time needed to generate expert-labelled datasets and the potential for bias during the analysis. Therefore, automated, robust, unbiased and timely geometry extraction from IVOCT, using image processing, would be beneficial to clinicians. With clinical application in mind, we aim to develop a model with a small memory footprint that is fast at inference time without sacrificing segmentation quality. Using a large IVOCT dataset of 12,011 expert-labelled images from 22 patients, we construct a new deep learning method based on capsules which automatically produces lumen segmentations. Our dataset contains images with both blood and light artefacts (22.8 %), as well as metallic (23.1 %) and bioresorbable stents (2.5 %). We split the dataset into a training (70 %), validation (20 %) and test (10 %) set and rigorously investigate design variations with respect to upsampling regimes and input selection. We show that our developments lead to a model, DeepCap, that is on par with state-of-the-art machine learning methods in terms of segmentation quality and robustness, while using as little as 12 % of the parameters. This enables DeepCap to have per image inference times up to 70 % faster on GPU and up to 95 % faster on CPU compared to other state-of-the-art models. DeepCap is a robust automated segmentation tool that can aid clinicians to extract unbiased geometrical data from IVOCT.

    Abstract Background: Low-dose colchicine is effective in reducing the risks of recurrent cardiovascular events following an acute myocardial infarction (MI). However, the influence of colchicine on inflammation remains inconclusive. In the current study, we conducted a combined analysis using individual patient data from the COLCOT and LoDoCo-MI trials to assess the effect of low-dose colchicine on high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute MI.
    Methods: We performed a combined analysis of individual patient data from two clinical trials (COLCOT, LoDoCo-MI). Paired pre-treatment and post-treatment hs-CRP (mg/L) were available in 222 patients for LoDoCo-MI and 207 patients for COLCOT (n
    Results: Colchicine was not significantly associated with post-treatment hs-CRP when it was considered as a continuous variable (beta: -0.41, P = 0.429). However, the intervention was significantly associated with increased odds of achieving post-treatment hs-CRP values ≤1.0 mg/L compared to placebo (odds ratio: 1.64, 95% confidence interval: 1.07 to 2.51, P = 0.024).
    Conclusions: Reduction of inflammation may be a key component in the clinical efficacy of low-dose colchicine with respect to decreased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events following MI. Systematic sampling of hs-CRP before and after treatment with colchicine may be relevant.
