Prognostic implications of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in heart failure patients with narrow QRS complex treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: a subanalysis of the randomized EchoCRT trial [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) reflects LV systolic function and correlates inversely with the extent of LV myocardial scar and fibrosis.

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.The 31 mm POLARx FIT cryoballoon achieves significantly higher complete pulmonary vein occlusion rates than the 28 mm mode, particularly in superior veins. Larger PV diameter and higher ovality index independently predict incomplete occlusion, supporting pre‐procedural CT‐based anatomical assessment for individualized balloon size selection.

Ovine Model of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]
, 2018 Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a common complication of ischemic heart disease that doubles mortality after myocardial infarction and is a major driving factor increasing heart failure. IMR is caused by left ventricular (LV) remodeling which displaces the papillary muscles that tether the mitral valve leaflets and restrict their closure.

An oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy and its association with future cardiovascular diseases
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 3146-3154, April 2026.Abstract Aims/hypothesis Gestational diabetes and abnormal 100‐g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results in pregnancy are associated with type 2 diabetes, but their relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is less clear. We evaluated the risk of CVD according to the number of abnormal OGTT values during pregnancy.

Commissural Misalignment Following Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 1215-1224, March 1, 2026.ABSTRACT Background Data on commissural misalignment (CMA) during valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) for valve failure after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is scarce. Aims To study the impact of CMA on clinical and hemodynamic outcomes following ViV‐TAVI for failed SAVR.
