Prognostic implications of stress test-induced arrhythmias: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background The significance of stress-test induced arrhythmias has been examined in prior studies, but there is no clear consensus regarding its significance. Objectives To determine the significance of stress test-induced arrhythmias. Atrial arrhythmia during stress testing, on the other hand, shows no association with mortality.

How Smoking Affects Your Heart and Increases Surgery Risk

MIBHS

Its effects on the heart are particularly alarming, as smoking significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and complicates medical procedures such as minimally invasive or bloodless heart surgeries. Poor healing can compromise the outcomes of bloodless surgeries, which rely on minimal incisions and precise techniques.

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. vs 3.6%, p=0.019) and arrhythmia (11.2%

Impact of Social Determinants of Health on Cardiovascular Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

An increasing number of studies have shown the impact of social determinants of health (SDoHs) on different cardiovascular outcomes. In the setting of arrhythmias, specific SDoHs can increase the incidence of atrial fibrillation and adversely affect major outcomes in these patients.

Standardized risk-stratified cardiac assessment and early posttransplant cardiovascular complications in kidney transplant recipients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

were found to have obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Posttransplant MACE has a negative effect on grafts and patient outcomes. Results Out of the total 776 KTR transplanted between 2017 and 2019, CAG was performed on 541 patients (69.7%), of whom 22.4% Asymptomatic obstructive CAD was observed in 70.2%
