Obesity is one of the major global health concerns of the 21st century, associated with many comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and early and aggressive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. Bile acids (BAs) and incretins are gut hormones involved in digestion and absorption of fatty acids, and insulin secretion, respectively.

Electrophysiological study (EPS) remains controversial for risk stratification in asymptomatic patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) (1-3). This multicentre study aimed to evaluate the life-threatening event rate in asymptomatic patients with spontaneous type 1 BrS electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern undergoing EPS and its potential role in risk stratification.

Fusarium, a genus of soil and vegetation-based fungi, is a rare cause of infections in immunocompromised individuals, including transplant recipients. In this case, we describe successful treatment of Fusarium falciforme mediastinitis in the recipient of an orthotopic heart transplant. Treatment included multiple courses of combination antibiotic and antifungal therapy several surgical debridements, continuous mediastinal irrigation with antifungal agents, and staged closure with an omental flap

Written by Willy Frick A man in his 60s with hypertension and prior stroke presented with three days of crushing chest pain. He reported intermittent chest pain for the last few months, but never lasting this long. He described it as substernal with radiation into the right arm. With all of this information, we can feel reasonably confident even before looking at the ECG that we are dealing with OMI.

ABSTRACT Introduction Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is often associated with atrial fibrosis, and both can provide the substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, most AF patients have no evidence of left atrial (LA) fibrosis based on bipolar voltage mapping. We determined whether EAT differs in AF patients without LA fibrosis compared to matched controls without AF.
