Risk of Spontaneous vs Induced Brugada Pattern

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Risk of Spontaneous vs Induced Brugada Pattern It is well known that sodium channel blockers can unmask the ECG pattern in Brugada syndrome. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the utility of drug challenge in testing for Brugada syndrome. They found that spontaneous type 1 ECG characterized by coved, down sloping ST elevation with T inversion in right precordial leads had 2.4% annual incidence of serious arrhythmic events.

Very high?power short?duration catheter ablation for treatment of cardiac arrhythmias: Insights from the FAST and FURIOUS study series

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract The QDOT MICRO™ Catheter is a novel open-irrigated contact force-sensing radiofrequency ablation catheter. It offers very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) ablation with 90 W for 4 s to improve safety and efficacy of catheter ablation procedures. Although the QDOT MICRO™ Catheter was mainly designed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) its versatility to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) and other types of arrhythmias was recently evaluated by the FAST and FURIOUS study series and other stud

Hypertension Trends and White Matter Brain Injury in the Offspring Framingham Heart Study Cohorts

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Hypertension is the most potent stroke risk factor and is also related to cerebral small vessel disease. We studied the relation between mid-to-late-life hypertension trends and cerebral white matter injury in community-dwelling individuals from the FHS (Framingham Heart Study).METHODS:FHS Offspring cohort participants with available mid-life and late-life blood pressure measurements and brain magnetic resonance imaging were included.

Up Digital and Personal: How Heart Digital Twins Can Transform Heart Patient Care

HeartRhythm

Precision medicine is the vision of healthcare where therapy is tailored to each patient. As part of this vision, digital twinning technology promises to deliver a digital representation of organs or even patients, using tools capable of simulating personal health conditions and predicting patient or disease trajectories based on relationships learned both from data and from biophysics knowledge.

Relationship Between Community-Level Distress and Cardiac Rehabilitation Participation, Facility Access, and Clinical Outcomes After Inpatient Coronary Revascularization

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, Volume 16, Issue 11 , Page e010148, November 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Although disparities in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation are well documented, the role of community-level distress is poorly understood. This study evaluated the relationship between community-level distress and CR participation, access to CR facilities, and clinical outcomes.METHODS:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on a 100% sample of Medicare beneficiaries under

Prognostic Significance of Different Ventricular Ectopic Burdens During Submaximal Exercise in Asymptomatic UK Biobank Subjects

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 148, Issue 24 , Page 1932-1944, December 12, 2023. BACKGROUND:The consequences of exercise-induced premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in asymptomatic individuals remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between PVC burdens during submaximal exercise and major adverse cardiovascular events (MI/HF/LTVA: myocardial infarction [MI], heart failure [HF], and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia [LTVA]), and all-cause mortality.

Mortality in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism: A Swedish Nationwide Study

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2601-2610, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with increased mortality. The extent to which this phenomenon is affected by sex, age, comorbidities at diagnosis, and different treatment modalities is largely unknown. The objective was to determine all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a population-based cohort of patients with PA and the impact of age at diagnosis, sex, comorbidities, and treatment modalities.METHODS:
