Atrial arrhythmia and heart failure in adult patients with congenital heart disease: a retrospective cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of hospitalisation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Dates of first AA and HF presentations were documented, and outcomes of RFA, including acute and long-term success, were assessed.

Early and mid-term outcomes of transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects using double-disc occluders

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionVentricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart disease (CHD), accounting for 2030% of all CHD cases. Procedural success, complications, and follow-up outcomes were assessed at 1, 3, 12, and 18 months post-procedure. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0.ResultsThe Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0.ResultsThe

Predicting cardiac arrhythmia 30 minutes before it happens

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide with around 59 million people concerned in 2019. This irregular heartbeat is associated with increased risks of heart failure, dementia and stroke. It constitutes a significant burden to healthcare systems, making its early detection and treatment a major goal.

Using stem cell-derived heart muscle cells to advance heart regenerative therapy

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is reportedly high. The highly positive outcomes observed in primate models highlight the potential of this strategy.
