Defining minimum image quality criteria for common diagnostic point‐of‐care ultrasound images: A position statement of the Society of Hospital Medicine

Journal of Hospital Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 183-196, February 2026.
Abstract Background Point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) use continues to expand across multiple clinical subspecialties, and the need for standardization of training and quality assurance has become increasingly important. Despite the need for training, there are currently no widely accepted multispecialty criteria to define an acceptable quality POCUS ...

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Reconsidering Its Essence as a Treatment for Electrical Dyssynchrony in Heart Failure

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Flow of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure management. Heart failure (HF) patients with electrical dyssynchrony are first identified through screening. If electrical dyssynchrony contributes to HF deterioration, CRT is initiated to improve electrical synchrony.

A Novel Multiparametric Model Integrating Aortoseptal Angle to Predict the Origin of Outflow Tract Ventricular Arrhythmias

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
The aortoseptal angle (cutoff 131.24°) effectively differentiates ventricular arrhythmia originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Combining the aortoseptal angle with the hypertension status and V2 transition ratio significantly improves its diagnostic accuracy.

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Amyloidosis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Left atrial appendage occlusion‐related outcomes in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy. ABSTRACT Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is frequently complicated by atrial fibrillation (AF), yet outcomes after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in this population remain poorly defined.
