BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic stroke (CS) is an exclusion diagnosis that accounts for 10-40% of all ischemic strokes. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is found in 66% of patients with CS, while having a prevalence of 25-30% in the general population. The primary aim was to evaluate the risk of recurrent stroke following surgical PFO closure plus medical therapy vs. medical therapy alone amongst CS, an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The secondary aim was to evaluate new-onset non-valvular atrial fibrillation, mortality, and major bleeding...

Subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is the most common congenital heart disease (CHD) in dogs and is also prevalent in human children. A fibrous ridge below the aortic valve narrows the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and increases blood flow velocity, leading to devastating side effects in diseased patients. Due to the similarities in presentation, anatomy, pathophysiology, cardiac development, genomics, and environment between humans and dogs, canine SAS patients represent a critical translational model of human SAS...

Cardiac pathologies are among the most frequent causes of death worldwide. Regarding cardiovascular deaths, it is estimated that 5 million cases are caused by sudden cardiac death (SCD) annually. The primary cause of SCD is ventricular arrhythmias. Genomic studies have provided pathogenic, likely pathogenic, and variants of uncertain significance that may predispose individuals to cardiac causes of sudden death. In this study, we describe the case of a 43-year-old individual who experienced an episode of aborted SCD...
