Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis of Time to Event Data

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation in Very Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Short‐ To Mid‐Term Outcomes From a Multicenter Study

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Patients aged ≥ 80 years with atrial fibrillation underwent catheter ablation. At 2 years, the recurrence‐free survival rate was 85.8% in paroxysmal AF and 63.6% in persistent AF (p = 0.024), and periprocedural complications occurred in 12.0%, including severe complications in 3.3%.

Electrophysiological Characteristics of Atrial Fibrillation Trigger Sites During Ongoing Atrial Fibrillation Using Ultra‐High‐Resolution Mapping

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
AF trigger sites exhibited a markedly shorter minimum local cycle length during ongoing AF, suggesting transient rapid activity. Ultra‐high‐resolution mapping during ongoing AF may provide complementary mechanistic information when conventional trigger mapping is inconclusive.

Epigenetic Regulation in Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental and lifestyle exposures reshape the cardiovascular epigenome through coordinated regulation of DNA methylation, histone modifications, noncoding RNAs, and RNA methylation (m6A). These multilayered mechanisms drive enhancer‐centered regulatory network remodeling and epigenomic plasticity in cardiovascular diseases, highlighting emerging ...

Comparison of Body Surface Area and Optimized Multivariate Allometric Model Approaches in Correcting Echocardiographic Aortic Dimensions for Physiological Variances: An International and Multicenter Study (CITED I)

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ao‐a, Ao‐s, and Ao‐asc were measured by echocardiography in 1820 gender‐ and age‐matched Chinese and Italian healthy adults. Correction equations based on an optimized multivariate allometric model (OMAM) and BSA approaches were constructed in group A and tested in group B at a ratio of 7:3.

Coronary Blood Flow Dynamics During Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Support: Insights From a Virtual Cohort and In‐Silico Simulations

open access: yesMedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
A virtual HeartMate 3 patient cohort was generated to analyze how cardiac, coronary, and regulatory parameters influence left and right coronary blood flow using an in‐silico experimentation framework. Results showed left coronary flow is mainly shaped by regulatory mechanisms, whereas right coronary flow depends strongly on CF‐LVAD speed, ventricular ...

Sinogram‐based flow estimation in computed tomography using a physics‐informed neural network: Impact of gantry rotation speed, X‐ray fluence and pulsed acquisition on accuracy

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Background Non‐invasive imaging‐based assessment of blood flow plays a critical role in evaluating heart function and structure. Computed Tomography (CT) is a widely‐used imaging modality that can robustly evaluate cardiovascular anatomy and function, but direct methods to estimate blood flow velocity from movies of contrast dynamics have not ...
