Impact of Dental Status on Heart Transplantation Outcomes

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Oral infections and poor dental health may contribute to systemic complications after heart transplantation, yet data on their impact is limited. In the absence of standardized dental guidelines for transplant candidates, this study evaluated preoperative dental status and its association with post‐transplant outcomes.

Case Report: Coexisting cardiac cavernous hemangioma and sarcoidosis in a single lesion: a first reported case confirmed by surgical resection

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Cardiac hemangioma (CH) is a rare benign cardiac tumor whose clinical manifestations—including arrhythmias, heart failure, and pericardial effusion—vary by anatomical location.

Cardiac Sarcoidosis: When and How to Treat Inflammation

Cardiac Failure Review, 2021
Sarcoidosis is a complex, multisystem inflammatory disease with a heterogeneous clinical spectrum. Approximately 25% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis will have cardiac involvement that portends a poorer outcome.

Predictors of Atrial High‐Rate Episodes and Inappropriate Device Therapy in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy can prevent sudden cardiac death, but poses a risk of inappropriate device therapy (IDT), which is linked to worse outcomes and reduced quality of life. On the other hand, ICDs can function as an early warning system for atrial arrhythmias.

A Case of Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis: An Underdiagnosed Disease With Little Diagnostic Consensus

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2022
Sarcoidosis is a rare cause of cardiomyopathy and can be missed when there is no pulmonary involvement. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with isolated cardiac sarcoidosis who presented with symptoms of worsening intermittent dyspnea, weight ...

Locomotor muscle dysfunction and rehabilitative exercise training in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: Where are we at and where could we go?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Relation of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes for Adults With Sickle Cell Disease: A Registry Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) implantation as secondary prevention of cardiac sarcoidosis-associated ventricular tachycardia

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine
Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis can cause a wide range of symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, oedema, and fatal arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). Because the symptoms can be nonspecific, diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis can

Novel Echocardiographic Index for Risk Stratification of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Mortality Based on Right Ventricular Function

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Patients undergoing ICD implantation with both preprocedural echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were retrospectively analyzed to assess right ventricular (RV) function. Echocardiographic RV fractional area change (RVFAC) and the contraction pressure index (CPI), as well as CMR‐derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF), predicted ...
