Older age, atrial fibrillation, loop diuretic use, and higher eGFR variability predicted early eGFR dip. Continued SGLT2 inhibitor therapy preserved long‐term kidney function, although closer monitoring is warranted in patients receiving loop diuretics. ABSTRACT Aim To assess the prevalence, risk factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate trajectory,

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula
ABSTRACT Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula after ice axe injury 27 years ago: A case report
Abstract We report a case of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the superficial femoral artery and femoral vein that went undetected for 27 years following an ice axe injury during a climbing accident in 1997. An AVF is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, where blood flows directly from the high‐flow arterial system to the

Abstract figure legend Non‐Newtonian modelling and GPEs for stroke risk in atrial fibrilation patients. Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia, linked to a five‐fold increase in stroke risk. The left atrial appendage (LAA), prone to blood stasis, is a common thrombus formation site in AF patients.
