Genetic Biomarkers in the Risk Assessment of Sudden Cardiac Events: A Personalized Approach

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetic insights into the risk assessment of sudden cardiac events. ABSTRACT Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk stratification methods, which largely depend on clinical history, imaging, and electrocardiography, are usually inadequate for identifying high‐risk individuals, especially those without visible ...

A strange thrombus in the left atrial appendage

, 2018
Two-dimensional-transoesophageal-guided cardioversion is an established strategy for managing atrial arrhythmias and is commonly used to detect left atrial appendage thrombi with a high level of diagnostic confidence.

The correlation between left atrial appendage morphology and thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of ischemic stroke. Between 91% and 100% of cardiogenic thrombi are in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and the morphology of the LAA is closely associated with the ...

Impact of Dapagliflozin on MRI‐Derived Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Secondary Imaging Analysis of a Randomized Trial

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot associated with cardiovascular risk and represents a modifiable imaging biomarker. Studies have shown that sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce EAT thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it is unclear whether this is

Left atrial appendage clip occlusion: Early clinical results

, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation puts patients at significant risk for embolic stroke originating from the left atrial appendage. Few means are available for safe, effective, and durable left atrial appendage occlusion. A new clip device was evaluated with

Association Between Triglyceride‐Glucose Index and in‐Hospital Intensive Care Unit Readmission in Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Analysis Based on the MIMIC‐IV Database

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This retrospective cohort study utilized the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database to investigate the association between the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index and in‐hospital intensive care unit (ICU) readmission in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). Among 2929 patients, 24.0% experienced ICU readmission.
