Despite proven benefits in reducing morbidity and mortality, many heart failure (HF) patients do not receive optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). The 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This includes beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, ARNIs, MRAs, and SGLT2 inhibitors.

"People often believe that their 'silent' heart attack is something else - like the flu or a pulled muscle. Much later, when they end up getting diagnosed with a heart attack that they didn't know they were having, they might recall an episode of feeling vaguely unwell." - Dr.

Written by Pendell Meyers Try first to interpret the ECG without any clinical context: What do you think? Sinus rhythm with abnormal STE in V2-V6, and I, II, aVF. Reciprocal STD in aVR and V1. Most leads with STE have remarkably non-hyperacute, flat T waves. Most would say that there is Spodick's sign. The PR depression in II (and its reciprocal PR elevation in aVR) is probably beyond normal baseline values.

The pro- and antiarrhythmic effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) have been extensively studied in preclinical and human trials. Despite early evidence of an antiarrhythmic role of n-3 PUFA in the prevention of sudden cardiac death and postoperative and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), subsequent well-designed randomized trials have largely not shown an antiarrhythmic benefit.

BackgroundThe aorta, a central component of the cardiovascular system, plays a pivotal role in ensuring blood circulation. Despite its importance, there is a notable lack of idealized models for experimental and computational studies.ObjectiveThis study aims to develop computer-aided design (CAD) models for the idealized human aorta, intended for studying hemodynamics or solid mechanics in both in vitro and in silico settings.MethodsVarious parameters were extracted from comprehensive literature

BackgroundCarotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an established procedure for the treatment of extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis. However, the type of anesthesia during elective CEA is still under debate. This study analyzes the association between the hospital policy on local anesthesia (LA) versus general anesthesia, and the outcome of elective CEA in German hospitals.MethodsThis retrospective analysis is

Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) overactivation in the pathogenesis of various cardiac arrhythmias. Ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor widely used for the treatment of myelofibrosis and acute graft-versus-host disease, has expanded its research horizons to include its potential as a CaMKII inhibitor in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Although fetal cardiac arrhythmia and repolarization abnormalities can be associated with sudden death before and after delivery, cardiac electrical activity is not easily assessed in the fetus due to the limitations of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG). Fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) has shown high efficacy for the diagnosis of fetal arrhythmia,1 including the detection of abnormalities such as QTc prolongation and T-wave alternans (TWA) in fetuses with long QT syndrome (LQTS).
