Atrial Fibrillation’s Downstream Consequences
CardiacWire
APRIL 21, 2024
A BMJ study out of Denmark provided alarming new insights into atrial fibrillation’s impact on patients’ future cardiovascular health, while highlighting the need to improve post-AFib heart failure and stroke prevention. The researchers analyzed 2000-2022 data from 3.5M Danish people who didn’t have AFib at baseline (45-95yrs, 48yr avg, 51.7% women), including 362k people who experienced AFib during the study period: Lifetime AFib risk was 27.7% overall, increasing from 24.2% in 2000-2010 to 30.

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

APRIL 21, 2024
Coronary angiography gives a visual impression about the severity of the stenosis. But it need not imply the actual functional significance of the stenosis in terms of flow physiology. It is often difficult to decide which are the flow limiting lesions when there are multiple stenoses in same or different territories. It is here that the fractional flow reserve estimation helps.

Spock2 functions as a key time-series gene of endothelial cells in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology
APRIL 21, 2024
The study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC), a leading cause of mortality in septic patients. Transcriptome data from cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic mice were analyzed at different time points (24, 48 and 72 h) using GSE171546 data. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), time series, and differential expression analyses, key time-series differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

Apixaban versus vitamin K antagonists in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome: a cohort study
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology
APRIL 21, 2024
Current guidelines recommend that direct anticoagulants should not be used in prevention of recurrent thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, except for triple-positive APS and rivaroxaban use, little evidence supports such recommendation. In a real-life cohort study, we evaluated the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding in APS patients on apixaban versus vitamin K antagonists (VKA).

Compliance and Complications in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
HeartRhythm
APRIL 21, 2024
Based on this robust study, one can conclude that symptomatic pediatric CPVT patients are at high risk for arrhythmic syncope, SCA and SCD even when receiving medical treatment. Compliance and underdosing with medications play a major role in these risks. LCSD may be underutilized in CPVT. ICDs are protective against these risks but at the cost of a high rate of appropriate and inappropriate shocks and other complications.

Stroke is often due to sudden loss of blood supply to a region of the brain which usually results in paralysis of a part of the body. Stroke could also be due to bleeding into a part of the brain. Strokes and heart disease are linked together in various ways. In general, risk factors for stroke and some forms of heart disease are similar. Strokes due to blocks in blood vessels, can be seen along with blocks in blood vessels of the heart.
