Evolution of academic–industry partnerships in cardiovascular research and development

The advent of ‘big data’ and modern analytics mandates a change of scale in every aspect of the biomedical enterprise. These forces are realigning academic medicine and traditional industrial partners, and also creating the context for an emerging new ecosystem for discovery, translation, care and implementation that promises to transform and integrate all these areas of endeavour.

The role of 3D wall motion tracking in heart failure

Echocardiography is a useful imaging modality for the evaluation of heart failure and its response to treatment. In the past 5 years, the application of speckle tracking technology to 3D echocardiographic datasets (3D wall motion tracking) has enabled comprehensive evaluation of cardiac mechanics in three dimensions. Here, Yiu-fai Cheung discusses the principles of 3D wall motion tracking, the assessment of myocardial deformation using this novel imaging modality, its clinical applications and limitations, as well as the future of this technology.

Barriers to translating EU and US CVD guidelines into practice in China

Many barriers exist to the translation and implementation of European and US guidelines for cardiovascular disease into clinical practice in China, but also to the development of Chinese-specific guidelines. Professors Zhao and Hu give their expert perspectives on the multifaceted reasons for these barriers, and how future guidelines for Chinese clinical practice should be developed and applied.
