Coronary atherosclerosis has been considered a chronic disease characterised by ongoing progression in response to systemic risk factors and local pro-atherogenic stimuli. As our understanding of the mechanisms implicated in atherogenesis and plaque progression evolved, effective treatment strategies have been developed that led to substantial reduction of the clinical manifestations and acute complications of coronary atherosclerosis. More recently, intracoronary imaging modalities have enabled detailed in vivo quantification and characterisation of coronary plaque, serial evaluation of atherosclerotic changes over time, and assessment of vascular responses to effective anti-atherosclerotic medication. The use of intracoronary imaging modalities has demonstrated that intensive lipid lowering can halt plaque progression and may even result in regression of coronary atheroma when the highest doses of the most potent statins are used. Although current evidence indicates the feasibility of atheroma regression, these changes in plaque size are modest and their clinical implications remain largely elusive. Growing interest has focused on achieving more pronounced regression of coronary plaque with use of novel anti-atherosclerotic medications and, more importantly, on elucidating ways to translate favourable changes of plaque anatomy into more favourable clinical outcomes.

Acute heart failure is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Systemic congestion, promoted by the activation of several pathophysiological mechanisms, is the central feature of acute heart failure, and causes the typical symptoms and leads to organ dysfunction. Cardiogenic shock is the most severe form of acute heart failure and is defined by the presence of reduced cardiac output and end-organ hypoperfusion. Decongestive therapy is the mainstay in the initial treatment of acute heart failure with congestion. Inotropes are used in cardiogenic shock patients with reduced myocardial contractility to restore end-organ perfusion. The first 3 months after an acute heart failure episode – the vulnerable phase – are characterised by high readmission and mortality rates. Optimal patient management before and after hospital discharge is crucial to improve patient outcome. Full article
