Circulating Level of Growth‐Differentiation Factor 15 and Mortality of Patients With Acute Heart Failure: A Meta‐Analysis

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Elevated admission GDF‐15 levels are associated with increased mortality in acute heart failure. This meta‐analysis of 10 studies (N = 3724) found a pooled RR of 2.82 (95% CI: 2.39–3.32; p < 0.001; I² = 0%), supporting GDF‐15 as a promising biomarker for early risk stratification in AHF patients.

Early Prediction of Neurological Outcome After Cardiac Arrest‐Rationale and Design of the Prospective International Observational EARLY‐NEURO, a STEPCARE Substudy

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Guidelines discourage prediction of neurological outcome in comatose patients within the first 72 h after cardiac arrest. Increasing evidence suggests that patients with the most severe brain injury and those with no or minimal brain injury may be identified before 72 h using novel methods.

Conduction System Pacing‐Induced Ventricular Arrhythmia: Case Report

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
In structurally compromised ventricles, LBBAP may unmask conduction–repolarization heterogeneities, increasing susceptibility to malignant ventricular arrhythmias in the early post‐implant period. Careful monitoring and individualized risk assessment are crucial in high‐risk patients.

Population‐Based Study Found Low Risk of Misdiagnosing Long QT Syndrome as Breath‐Holding Spells in Swedish Children

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 5, Page 1116-1125, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim An electrocardiogram is commonly recommended in breath‐holding spell management, mainly to rule out long QT syndrome. This retrospective study investigated the risk of long QT syndrome being misdiagnosed as breath‐holding spells in a paediatric population in southern Sweden.
