A Case of Successful Extraction of a Micra Leadless Pacemaker Implanted Two Years Prior Using the Axis-Guided Dual Snare Technique

Case Reports in Cardiology
A 78-year-old man underwent Micra AV implantation due to complete atrioventricular block. He developed diffuse left ventricular systolic dysfunction and dyssynchrony, 2 years later, suggesting pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. Given the critical need for an

The Link Between Sex Hormones and Susceptibility to Cardiac Arrhythmias: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Implications

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
It is well-known that gender is an independent risk factor for some types of cardiac arrhythmias. For example, males have a greater prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the Brugada Syndrome.

SYHA1813, A VEGFR and CSF1R Inhibitor, in Patients With Recurrent High‐Grade Gliomas: A Multicenter, Open‐Label Phase I Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Recurrent high‐grade gliomas have a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SYHA1813, a dual inhibitor of VEGFR and CSF1R, in patients with recurrent high‐grade gliomas.

The Prognostic Nutritional Index May Predict Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus or Dense Spontaneous Echo Contrast in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) or spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is associated with ...

Pacemaker Prevention Therapy in Drug–refractory Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Reliability of Diagnostics and Effectiveness of Prevention Pacing Therapy in Vitatron™ Selection® device [PDF]

, 2006
Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common and rising disorder of cardiac rhythm, is quite difficult to control and/or to treat. Non pharmacological therapies for AF may involve the use of dedicated pacing algorithms to detect and prevent ...

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. [PDF]

, 2005
It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy could also prevent ventricular arrhythmia.

The anatomy of an arrhythmia [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2004
Computer simulations are potentially effective approaches to unraveling the causes of lethal heart rhythm disorders. In this issue of the JCI, Xie et al. have embedded a well-characterized dynamic mechanism for arrhythmia development in an anatomically realistic computer model of the heart.

Sleep Matters: Exploring the Link Between Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although patients and rheumatologists often attribute fatigue to inflammation, other factors such as sleep disturbances are frequently overlooked. This study aims to explore the relationship between subjective (self‐reported) and objective (actigraphy

Vascularized and Perfusable Human Heart‐on‐a‐Chip Model Recapitulates Aspects of Myocardial Ischemia and Enables Analysis of Nanomedicine Delivery

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This novel 3D human ischemic heart‐on‐a‐chip, with perfusable vasculature directly interfaced with myocardial tissue, replicates key aspects of ischemic heart injury. It also demonstrates the targeted delivery and therapeutic efficacy of cardiac homing peptide‐conjugated liposomes, validating the platform for drug and nanomedicine screening in ...

Initial experience and treatment of atrial fibrillation using a novel irrigated multielectrode catheter: Results from a prospective two-center study

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
Background: PV electrical isolation has become the cornerstone of catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Several strategies have been proposed to achieve this goal.
