The prevalence and impact of perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) during an admission for major emergency abdominal surgery are sparsely examined. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the 30-day and 1-year outcomes (AF-related hospitalization, stroke, and all-cause mortality) in patients with and without perioperative AF to their major emergency abdominal surgery. All patients without a history of AF who underwent major emergency abdominal surgery from 2000 to 2019 and discharged alive were identified using Danish nationwide registries...

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), contributing to around 25% of deaths observed in pivotal HFpEF trials. However, predictors and outcomes of in-hospital SCA in HFpEF have not been well characterized. We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2016 to 2017) to identify adult hospitalizations with a diagnosis of HFpEF. Patients with acute or chronic conditions associated with SCA (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, acute pulmonary embolism, sarcoidosis) were excluded...

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are commonly encountered, with ESRD itself serving as a well-established risk factor for AF.1 The 2018 AF guidelines have recommended apixaban across all the spectrums of renal impairment, including patients on hemodialysis (HD), and the 2019 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society updated guidelines have suggested careful consideration of reduced dose of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with ESRD...

In a large screening program of asymptomatic middle-aged individuals, we sought to assess the degree of risk reclassification provided by comparing multiethnic study on subclinical atherosclerosis coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) versus atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and Reynolds risk score (RRS) score. All 5,324 consecutive patients (aged 57 ± 8 years, 76% male) who underwent CACS screening at the Cleveland Clinic as part of a primary prevention executive health between March 16 and October 21 were included...

Predicted heart mass ratio (PHMr) has been proposed as an optimal size metric in the selection of a donor heart for transplant; however, it is not known if the same size matching criteria pertains uniformly to all types of cardiomyopathies. Heart transplant recipients in the United Network for Organ Sharing registry database were categorized into 6 groups based on the type of cardiomyopathy, dilated, coronary artery disease, hypertrophic, restrictive, valvular and adult congenital heart disease. Patients in each group of etiology were stratified based on the PHMr into 5 groups: severely undersized <0...

Comparison of clinical outcomes of double kissing crush (DKC) and mini-crush (MC) techniques in patients with complex coronary bifurcation lesions is lacking. This study sought to determine the clinical results of DKC and MC stenting techniques in mid-term follow-up. This retrospective study included a total of 269 consecutive patients with complex bifurcation lesions who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention; 132 (49%) of them were treated with MC technique, whereas 137 (51%) treated with DKC technique...

Cardiac rehabilitation improves cardiovascular outcomes in patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Recently there has been a growing interest in remote cardiac rehabilitation (RCR) programs. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of RCR compared with center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR). This is an observational study including patients after hospital admission for ACS. The study group included patients at low-to-moderate risk for cardiovascular complications who were referred for RCR. The control group included patients at similar risk who participated in CBCR...

This study sought to characterize transvalvular hemodynamics during the first 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) across various transcatheter heart valves (THVs), while adjusting for annular dimensions. This was an observational study of TAVIs from September 2021 to October 2022. The primary outcome was mean transvalvular pressure gradient (TVPG), measured using transthoracic echocardiography at day 0, day 1, and day 30 post-TAVI, and were compared across 3 THV, including the self-expandable intra-annular Portico (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) valve, the balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 Ultra (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California), and the self-expandable supra-annular Evolut Pro+ (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota)...

As mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is evolving as an effective treatment for high-risk surgical patients with mitral regurgitation, there is a pressing need for cardiologists to optimize resources through risk stratification of in-hospital mortality for this patient population. Although current risk-prediction models have been shown to predict adverse outcomes with reasonable accuracy, models trained using the US nationwide population are lacking. This study aimed to identify clinical, demographic, and procedural features that predict in-hospital mortality, and to derive and validate an in-hospital mortality risk-prediction tool in patients who have undergone M-TEER...

The present report describes the late recovery of an emerging complete atrioventricular (AV block) in a patient with immune check point inhibitor-related myocarditis following a period of immunosuppresive therapy. Therefore, decision-making for permanent pacemaker implantation should be implemented after a substantial period of time owing to the potential recovery of bradyarrhythmic complications in similar cases.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) generates significant debris, and strategies to mitigate cerebral embolization are needed. The novel Emboliner embolic protection catheter (Emboline, Inc., Santa Cruz, California) is designed to capture all particles generated during TAVR. This first-in-human study sought to assess the safety and feasibility of the device and to characterize the distribution and histopathology of the debris generated during TAVR. The SafePass 2 study was a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, single-arm investigation of the Emboliner device...

Tricuspid repair is recommended for significant functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) or tricuspid annulus (TA) dilation, based on TA >40 mm or >21 mm/m². The concordance between both TA dimensions related to the patient's body size has not been investigated. Patients who underwent rigid ring tricuspid annuloplasty for FTR between 2009 and 2017 were included. Assuming equality between both TA diameter criteria, patients were divided per body surface area (BSA): group 1 = BSA ≤1...

Outcomes after myocardial infarction in women remain poor. The number of cardiovascular risk factors in women increase with age, however the relation between risk factors and culprit plaque characteristics in this population is poorly understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between risk factors and culprit plaque characteristics in women with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 382 women who presented with ACS and underwent pre-intervention optical coherence tomography imaging of the culprit lesion were included in this analysis...
