Inferior Vena Cava Ultrasound for Decongestion Assessment in Acute Heart Failure: Systematic Review

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 7, July 2026.
This systematic review of 629 patients suggests that using IVC ultrasound to guide decongestion in acute heart failure significantly improves clinical outcomes. This approach leads to reduced NT‐proBNP levels, hospitalizations, mortality, and adverse events, highlighting its effectiveness as a potential tool for optimizing AHF treatment and monitoring .

Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 2293-2303, June 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

The Heart of the Thymus: A Rare Tale of Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy in the Absence of Myasthenia Gravis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Thymomas are rare epithelial tumors of the anterior mediastinum known for their association with autoimmune and paraneoplastic syndromes, most notably myasthenia gravis (MG). Cardiomyopathy is an exceptionally rare paraneoplastic manifestation.

Docetaxel‐Induced Serositis Mimicking Malignant Pleural Effusion

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in patients with cancer. Although their development may signal progressive malignant disease, drug‐induced effusions are a rare and often overlooked cause of exudative pleural effusions. We describe a 50‐year‐old woman with recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary who developed bilateral pleural and pericardial ...
