Circulation

NOVEMBER 11, 2024

Heart transplant rates were low but increased slightly in 2020 for patients without CHD, with DV and SV CHD patients showing fluctuating rates peaking in 2018 and 2019, then declining in 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients.

Circulation: Heart Failure

FEBRUARY 1, 2024

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for heart transplantation (HT) was implemented in France. The cumulative incidence of waitlist mortality estimated with competing risk analysis and incidence of transplantation were compared between diagnosis groups.

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. Only 7 centers are able to perform neonatal and high-risk congenital heart surgery.

Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter improves cardiac chamber size and function

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

NOVEMBER 17, 2023

After excluding patients with congenital or rheumatic heart disease, heart transplant recipients, or those without baseline echocardiogram, a total of 130 patients were included in the analysis. Echocardiographic data were analyzed at baseline before ablation, and at early follow-up within 1-year postablation.

Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats) Persistent abnormal heart rhythms can disrupt the heart’s pumping efficiency, eventually causing it to enlarge to maintain blood flow. Congenital Heart Defects Some individuals are born with heart defects that cause parts of the heart to work harder, leading to enlargement over time.
