Long-term results of ablation index guided atrial fibrillation ablation: insights after 5+ years of follow-up from the MPH AF Ablation Registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Catheter ablation (CA) for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) offers the best outcomes for patients. Despite the benefits of CA, a significant proportion of patients suffer a recurrence; hence, there is scope to potentially improve outcomes through technical innovations such as ablation index (AI) guidance during AF ablation.

Gender disparities in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In the light of increasing availability, the analyses of outcome-relevant predisposing characteristics are of growing importance. The primary outcome was defined as the survival of patients until they were discharged from the hospital, with a favourable neurological outcome [cerebral performance category (CPC) score of ≤2].

Abstract 222: Immediate post thrombectomy extubation is associated with improved clinical outcomes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionRecent findings suggest that general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation (GA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) who receive mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is associated with similar outcomes to conscious sedation (CS). [1][2] 83 patients received GA and 159 patients received CS.

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with more severe obesity were more likely to have responder characteristics for atrial shunt therapy (fewer pacemakers and lower exercise pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR]). of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased. Overall, 60.9%

Abstract 4144999: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Tetrology of Fallot Patients and Relationship to Obesity

Circulation

Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and adverse cardiac changes such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and in TOF higher body mass index (BMI) contributed to increase risk. Future larger and longitudinal studies are needed to determine if delayed repair in obese patients lead worse remodeling and outcomes.

Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.

Abstract 4146852: Impact of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Outcomes

Circulation

Introduction:The demographics of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is shifting towards older age, increased comorbidity burden, and an increase in the risk of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Survival analysis was performed (Outcome: PAH related-hospitalization or death). 2022 were included.
