Thirty‐day mortality among patients admitted due to acute myocardial infarction during the dates of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand Annual Scientific Meeting

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Patients admitted during major medical conferences may receive different care if there are significant staff shortages. We evaluated the mortality of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) according to whether they were admitted during the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

Zero‐Contrast Versus Contrast‐Guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A Comparative Analysis of Procedural and Long‐Term Outcomes

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Zero‐contrast left atrial appendage occlusion yielded high procedural success and similar periprocedural adverse event rates compared to the contrast‐guided approach. At 45‐day follow‐up, successful LAA closure (defined as peri‐device leak ≤ 5 mm) and device‐related thrombus rates were similar.

Primary cardiovascular preventive effect of thiazolidinedione in adults with type 2 diabetes: A nationwide cohort study in Korea

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Among Korean adults with type 2 diabetes and no prior cardiovascular disease, thiazolidinedione use was associated with a lower risk of the primary composite outcome of stroke, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, and all‐cause mortality compared to dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor use. ABSTRACT Background Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)

Left Ventricular wall Thickness and Decrement Evoked Potentials in Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Preprocedural imaging can improve the success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify infarct regions. We sought to determine whether an association exists between left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) as obtained ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...
