A recent major review of data published by The Lancet and led by Emory sports cardiologist Jonathan Kim, MD, shows that Black athletes are approximately five times more likely to experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) compared to white athletes, despite some evidence of a decline in rates of SCD overall. SCA and SCD have historically been a leading cause of mortality among athletes, particularly those involved in high-intensity sports.
ObjectiveThis study aims to sheds light on the correlation between urinary cadmium (Cd-U) exposure and coronary heart disease (CHD) and the mediating effects of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) based on a sample of adults in the United States.MethodsA comprehensive cross-sectional study was performed on 8,998 CHD participants who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2018.
Pacemakers are cardiac implantable electronic devices. As they use radiofrequency signals for programming, other radiofrequency signals can interfere with the function of pacemakers. Notable one is magnetic resonance imaging if you consider in hospital scenarios.

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy (RRT) are at high risk for cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections. Although device extraction is standard management, it is often avoided in these patients due to high procedural risks.
Association of iron markers with congestion, functional capacity and prognosis. Congestion assessment at rest by ultrasound: B-lines 4, discontinuous renal venous flow and dilated inferior vena cava (21mm). Functional capacity by peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 ): 16ml/kg/min, 1015.9ml/kg/min and <10ml/kg/min. Adjusted analyses (Cox proportional hazard ratios) illustrate a higher risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and all-cause mortality (ACM) after a median follow-up of 18months in patient
In this review paper, we search the recent literature regarding the application of the heart-brain interaction theories in the field of intensive care unit. Simultaneously, we methodically summarize the clinical evidence supporting its application in intensive care unit treatment, based on clinical randomized trials and clinical case studies. We delve into how it's applied in treating severely ill patients and in researching animal models for cardio-cerebral comorbidities, aiming to supply bench

Parasternal long axis view showing colour flow from right ventricle to aorta through the ventricular septal defect with overriding aorta. Flow is predominantly blue in colour because it is away from the transducer kept at the parasternal region. Right ventricle is an anterior structure and aortic root is relatively posterior to it, and hence the anteroposterior flow depicted in blue colour.
BackgroundEarly detection and diagnosis of venous thromboembolism are vital for effective treatment. To what extent methodological shortcomings exist in studies of diagnostic tests and whether this affects published test performance is unknown.ObjectivesWe aimed to assess the methodological quality of studies evaluating diagnostic tests for venous thromboembolic diseases and quantify the direction and impact of design characteristics on diagnostic performance.MethodsWe conducted a literature sea
BackgroundThis study is to investigate the efficacy of stent implantation in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD) under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance and non-IVUS guidance.MethodsWe conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochran, and Embase for the articles of IVUS-guided and non-IVUS-guided stent implantation in patients with complex CAD and reported related outcomes.
BackgroundThe closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using transseptal puncture has particular advantages and disadvantages. Thus, transseptal puncture should be re-evaluated in detail.AimsWe aimed to assess the effectiveness of the detailed transseptal puncture technique in patients who underwent PFO closure due to cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack in terms of residual shunts and atrial fibrillation.MethodsWe prospectively analyzed 144 consecutive patients who underwent PFO closu
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. Nowadays, in large enough children, chronic treatment for symptomatic and recurrent AVNRT episodes relies on transcatheter ablation. Indeed, many three-dimensional (3D) mapping strategies and ablation techniques have been developed and it helped to increase success rates and to reduce complications.
IntroductionHypertension is a chronic condition that requires active patient management and awareness of treatment strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program grounded in the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change for improving treatment adherence among hypertensive patients.Materials and methodsThis study conducted at the Nukan Comprehensive Rural Health Center in Kermanshah, Iran, 120 participants were selected according to specific inclusion
BackgroundPostoperative rehabilitation exercise training after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is crucial for coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in restoring health and preventing recurrence, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT). However, the impact of HIIT on cardiopulmonary function, gut microbiome and metabolite remains underexplored.MethodsThis study included 60 patients with CHD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
AimsThis study applied exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) to identify risk factors associated with exercise intolerance in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).Methods and results90 CCS patients underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test and ESE, assessing exercise capacity, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, and systolic reserve.
BackgroundThe mechanism by which combined oral contraceptives (COCs) lead to hypercoagulation is not fully understood, although activated protein C (APC) pathway resistance has been implicated. APC and thrombomodulin (TM) tend to be considered as interchangeable reagents, even though their biological action in coagulation is different. However, it remains unclear which reagent is better suited for the detection of APC pathway resistance.
BackgroundThe Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from the Left Coronary Sinus (ARCA-LCS) is a rare congenital cardiac condition where the right coronary artery emerges from the left sinus instead of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva. The clinical significance of ARCA-LCS lies in its potential to cause myocardial ischemia or sudden cardiac death, particularly under physical exertion.
ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dietary sodium intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in hypertensive American adults.MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted to examine the association between dietary sodium intake, as estimated by a single 24-h dietary recall from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003–2012), and mortality data obtained from the National Death Index.ResultsThis study included 12,236 adults with
