Early Outcomes After Total Arch Replacement With Frozen Elephant Trunk in Elderly Patients With Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Across seven centers (2015–2023), we studied 1634 ATAAD patients undergoing TAR+FET and, after propensity matching (n = 699), compared elderly (≥ 60) versus non‐elderly (< 60) outcomes. Elderly patients had higher 30‐day mortality and complications (log‐rank p = 0.002), supporting individualized hybrid strategies, organ‐protective perioperative care ...

Optimizing Diagnostic Accuracy of Clinical Red Flags in RASopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT RASopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in the RAS‐mitogen‐activated protein kinase (RAS–MAPK) signaling pathway, often presenting with congenital heart defects, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and developmental delays. To assess the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients with suspected RASopathies and to

The Novel ACTC1 p.Gly50Ser Variant Is Associated With Arrhythmia and Secondary Features of HCM Without Hypertrophy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The key diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the presence of otherwise unexplained hypertrophy. Current definitions of HCM rely on specific thresholds to establish a diagnosis, while guideline directed risk stratification algorithms take its magnitude into consideration.

Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12‐Related Developmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.
