Patients with diabetes mellitus have accelerated progression of heart failure and often have impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation. The present study examines the implications for heart failure progression of cardiac sympathetic denervation, assessed by I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging, in diabetic compared with nondiabetic subjects.

    The GRACE RS for predicting in-hospital and 6-month mortality still maintain their excellent performance in a contemporary cohort of patients with ACS. Further studies are needed to investigate the performance of the 6-month mortality GRACE score in patients undergoing in-hospital PCI. Left ventricu...
