Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

The learning curve associated with the introduction of the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator [PDF]

, 2016
Aims: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) was introduced to overcome complications related to transvenous leads. Adoption of the S-ICD requires implanters to learn a new implantation technique.

FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1485-1489, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Poor health status and distress in cardiac patients: The role of device therapy vs. underlying heart disease [PDF]

, 2012
AimsImplantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy, which includes the risk of shocks, is considered the primary culprit of reductions in patient reported outcomes (PROs; e.g.

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation Without Defibrillation Testing

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017
Defibrillation testing (DT) does not improve shock efficacy or reduce the risk for arrhythmic death in patients undergoing routine transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement and is no longer compulsory for left pectoral transvenous ICDs [(1)][1]. The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD)

Magnetocardiography combined with machine learning for pulmonary hypertension detection and improved short‐term risk assessment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) enables non‐invasive mapping of cardiac magnetic fields. In this study, an MCG‐based machine learning model detects pulmonary hypertension with robust performance. Furthermore, MCG features may improve the accuracy of short‐term risk assessment.

The first cardioverter defibrillator implanted in Central Africa

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
Sudden cardiac deaths, which account for approximately 350 000 deaths each year, is a major health care problem. Antiarrhythmic drugs have not been reliable in preventing sudden cardiac death. Although -blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors,

Toward Faster Recalls of Dangerous Medical Devices: Does Ownership by Large Institutional Investors Matter?

Journal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recall delays expose consumers to prolonged risk and undermine a firm's long‐term performance and reputation. Building on agency theory's conceptualization of principal‐agent relationships, we theorize that large institutional investors play an important monitoring role wherein their ownership encourages faster recalls. We then build on agency
