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

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.
