Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

The Effect of 6 Months of Dietary Counselling on Sleep Outcomes Among Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep problems are highly prevalent among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We examined the effect of dietary counselling on sleep outcomes among patients with CVD. We performed secondary analyses within a previously conducted six‐month randomised controlled trial among patients with CVD.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Representation, medical examination, and the effectiveness of underwriting: Evidence from a life and health insurance company

Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines whether underwriting methods—representation, medical examination, extra premiums, and coverage—effectively mitigate adverse selection using data from an insurance company. Regarding representation, we focus on statements disclosing pre‐existing medical conditions.

Successful treatment of mycotic thoracic aortic aneurysm in collaboration with cardiovascular and general thoracic surgeons

, 2014
We report a rare case of ruptured mycotic thoracic aortic aneurysm that required almost one month for correct diagnosis. A 71-year-old woman who had hemoptysis for several weeks was initially suspected to have lung cancer based on several examinations ...

First‐time red blood cell transfusions in the emergency department: A deficiency in micronutrient testing

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate laboratory investigations for micronutrient deficiencies as the cause of anaemia prior to first‐time red blood cell transfusions in the medical emergency department (ED) of a large academic hospital. Background The ED is often the first point of contact for acutely ill anaemic patients, yet patient blood management ...

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.
