Utility of Post‐Procedural HFA‐PEFF Reassessment for Long‐Term Heart Failure Risk Stratification After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
In this single‐center cohort of 856 patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, post‐procedural HFA‐PEFF reassessment provided better long‐term discrimination for heart failure hospitalization than pre‐procedural assessment over a median 5.2‐year follow‐up.

Electrocardiographic Predictors of Cardiac Reverse Remodeling After Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing in Atrioventricular Block: Emphasis on Post‐Pacing QRS Duration

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
In patients with atrioventricular block undergoing left bundle branch area pacing, shorter post‐pacing QRS duration was associated with cardiac reverse remodeling. Post‐pacing QRS duration may represent a simple and clinically applicable electrocardiographic marker for identifying patients more likely to achieve reverse remodeling.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Long‐term follow‐up of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy patients receiving oral eplerenone and half‐dose photodynamic therapy in the SPECTRA trial: SPECTRA trial report No. 4

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e565-e577, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose Assessing the 24‐month treatment outcome of half‐dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) or oral eplerenone in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). Methods Multicentre randomized clinical trial included cCSC patients from the SPECTRA trial who were randomized to receive half‐dose PDT or oral eplerenone.

The Effects of Combined Antihypertensive and Antidiabetic Therapies on Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6874-6887, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension and diabetes frequently coexist, yet the net clinical impact of intentionally combining antihypertensive (AHTN) and antidiabetic (ADA) therapies on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes is uncertain. Here we quantified the effects of AHTN and ADA co‐therapy on CV and blood pressure (BP)/heart rate (HR) outcomes.
