✨ Key Finding: Invasive coronary angiography in 87.1% of NSTEMI patients was linked to 64% lower in-hospital mortality vs conservative management (weighted OR 0.36).
✨ Key Finding: Machine learning models predict postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG with moderate accuracy (AUC 0.84, sensitivity 73%, specificity 83%) but face high heterogeneity.
✨ Key Finding: The use of a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator resulted in a 1% delivery rate of appropriate shocks in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, indicating a significant risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias during the medical optimization period.
