Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!
Dr. S. Venkatesan MD
APRIL 28, 2024
(This is supposed to be a poll. Sorry, readers, you can’t select the answer. WordPress is not kind enough and suddenly made the poll service payable extra. I am already paying nearly a $100 fee to maintain this site. I can’t afford any more.) We have been taught Bi-Atrial enlargement is the rule in AF.It is still true in most situations.
Liraglutide and not lifestyle intervention reduces soluble CD163 after comparable weight loss in obese participants with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus

The GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide is used to treat hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes but is also known to induce weight loss, preserve the beta cell and reduce cardiovascular risk. The mechanisms underlyin.
Evaluating the relative importance of different blood pressure indices in screening for NAFLD: a survey report based on a health examination population
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
APRIL 28, 2024
ObjectiveWhile hypertension is a well-recognized risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the specific roles of various common blood pressure measurements [diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), mean arterial pressure (MAP)] in detecting NAFLD and evaluating the associated risk in adults remain unclear.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 14,251 adult participants undergoing health screenings in the NAfld in the Gifu Area
Association of the triglyceride-glucose index with early-onset atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality: a prospective cohort study
Cardiovascular Diabetology
APRIL 28, 2024
The association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of early-onset atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events or all-cause mortality in young and middle-aged people is not full.
Pulmonary artery banding: a 20-year experience at a tertiary care center in a developing country
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
APRIL 28, 2024
AimPulmonary artery banding serves as an important palliative procedure used for the management of several congenital heart lesions. This study aims to describe a 20-year experience of pulmonary artery banding at a tertiary care center in a developing country.MethodsThis is a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent pulmonary artery banding over a 20-year period between January 2000 and July 2020 in a tertiary care center in a developing country.
Glycemic control and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: insight from ventricular remodeling using cardiac MRI
Cardiovascular Diabetology

Diagnostic Accuracy for Detecting Atrial Fibrillation Using a Novel Machine Learning Algorithm in a Blood Pressure Monitor
HeartRhythm
APRIL 28, 2024
Early detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) is key for preventing strokes. Blood pressure monitors (BPMs) with built-in AF screening features have the potential for early detection at home. Recently, two BPMs (HEM-7371T1-AZ and HEM-7372T1-AZAZ, OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.) which share a novel AF screening feature have been developed. Their AF screening feature utilizes an algorithm which incorporates machine learning, with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Preliminary findings demonstrate an improvement in eGFR slope in nearly all patients with SCD after treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists.
When and how to perform venoplasty for lead placement
HeartRhythm
APRIL 28, 2024
Due to increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) with one or more intracardiac electrodes, the rate of lead failure is increasing. Moreover, an upgrade of the CIED is frequently indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy or other reasons. Both these situations require a new intervention, preferably using the ipsilateral venous access.
Ways to prevent clots in legs and lungs
All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders
APRIL 28, 2024
Pulmonary embolism is obstruction of blood vessels of the lungs by clots carried by blood circulation, usually from the legs. It is a serious life threatening condition and hence trying to prevent it is very important. Clots can also migrate from blood vessels of the tummy, but that is not easy to prevent. Blood clots can form in the veins or blood vessels returning deoxygenated blood to the lungs for enrichment with oxygen.
Automated interpretations of single-lead electrocardiograms predict incident atrial fibrillation: The VITAL-AF Trial
HeartRhythm
APRIL 28, 2024
Single-lead electrocardiograms (1L ECG) are increasingly used for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection. Automated 1L ECG interpretation may possess prognostic value for future AF among cases where screening does not result in a short-term AF diagnosis.

Assessment of left ventricular activation conduction during left bundle branch area pacing in heart failure patients: A novel criterion to determine left bundle branch capture
HeartRhythm
APRIL 28, 2024
Left bundle branch (LBB) area pacing (LBBAP) has become a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) modality in patients with heart failure (HF) and LBB block (LBBB). LBB pacing (LBBP) and left ventricular (LV) septal myocardial pacing (LVSP) are the two pacing modalities of LBBAP(1). However, the electrophysiological differences between LBBP and LVSP and the methods to differentiate LBBP from LVSP in patients with HF and LBBB need investigations.
