Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly prevalent public health problem and one of the most common causes of emergency department (ED) visits. We aimed to investigate the trends in ED visits and hospital admissions for AF.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundThe subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S‐ICD) has been developed to avert risks associated with transvenous defibrillator leads. The technology is attractive for younger patients, such as those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Genomics and Cardiac Arrhythmias [PDF]
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006 Sudden cardiac death in patients younger than 35 years of age is primarily due to genetic causes. Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy accounting for 30% to 40% is associated with structural heart disease while the Brugada syndrome and the long QT syndrome (LQTS) are associated with normal cardiac function.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents an implantable reinforced cardiac patch (RCPatch) combining volumetrically 3D‐printed metamaterials with melt‐electrowritten (MEW) meshes. The design integrates tunable stiff polymer structures with soft, cell‐laden hydrogels. The RCPatch withstands suturing, intraventricular pressure, and cardiac contraction in a large animal ...

Intracardiac Echocardiography-guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology ReviewLeft atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a suitable alternative to oral anticoagulant therapy to prevent stroke in patients with AF. Most procedures are performed under transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) guidance, which facilitates transseptal ...

3D Printing of Conducting Polymer Hydrogels for Electrostimulation‐Assisted Tissue Engineering
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights nanosized inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) as promising ink constituents for 3D printing of conducting hydrogel (CH)‐based electrostimulation (ES) devices. ICP‐based ink formulation, 3D printing, and solidification strategies are discussed, along with the application of 3D‐printed ICP‐based CHs as ES platforms for regulating
