Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, but is frequently asymptomatic and intermittent; therefore, its timely diagnosis poses challenges. Early detection in selected patients may aid in stroke prevention and mitigate structural heart complications through prompt intervention. Smartwatches, coupled with powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled algorithms, offer a promising tool for early detection due to their widespread use, easiness of use, a

Here's what Version 1 QOH thinks: It is diagnostic of acute LAD OMI, with the precordial swirl pattern. See this post if you dont know that pattern yet: Precordial Swirl -- 20 cases of Swirl or Look-Alikes Here was a repeat ECG done within 20 minutes (still with ongoing pain): It still looks like active OMI to me, but perhaps sli

In a recent study recently published in the European Heart Journal , researchers have found that the characteristics of retinal microvasculature can predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study delves into the associations between lifelong cardiovascular risk factors and the effects of dietary interventions on retinal microvasculature in young adulthood.

Nowadays it is recognized that in most human hearts, the left bundle branch (LBB) is divided into three fascicles: these are to be found in superior, septal and inferior positions.1,2 This classification has replaced the previous subdivision of the LBB into two fascicles (the left anterior and posterior fascicles) established by Rosenbaum and his group more than five decades ago.

Aneurysms, a vascular anomaly, can be classified based on their location and shape. Shear stresses, oscillatory shear index, gradient oscillatory number, and residence time serve as parameters to characterize the hemodynamics associated with the development and advancement of aneurysms. However, specific underlying causes and hemodynamic circumstances facilitating their formation and deteroration continue to be topics of active discussion.

Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants associated with an exposure (e.g., high blood pressure) as instrumental variables to test causal effects on an outcome (e.g., atrial fibrillation (AF)). By leveraging the random assortment of genetic variants during gamete formation, MR reduces biases like confounding and reverse causation. We screened 391 papers, examining 278 that applied MR to investigate arrhythmia and, among others, cardiovascular traits, lifestyle, behavioral traits, body
