Simultaneous Heart–Kidney Transplantation for Ebstein's Anomaly: A Viable Treatment Option in Latin America

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Chest x‐ray showing a typical presentation of Ebstein anomaly with severe cardiomegaly and a prominent right atrium silhouette. ABSTRACT Simultaneous heart–kidney transplantation is a viable and effective treatment option for patients with congenital heart disease and advanced chronic kidney disease when both conditions threaten survival.

A rare case of an unexpected trigger of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the right atrial appendage diverticulum

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Introduction We described a rare case of an adolescent girl with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originating from the right atrial appendage diverticulum and successfully converted to sinus rhythm after surgical intervention.

Determinants of Abnormal Pulmonary Vasodilatory Response With Exercise in HFpEF: Pulmonary Vascular‐Left Atrial Axis Abnormalities

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Compared to traditional cardiometabolic comorbidities, COPD and atrial fibrillation are uniquely linked to pulmonary vascular remodeling in HFpEF. The impact of these two comorbidities on pulmonary vascular‐left atrial axis is highlighted by the shared biventricular morphology among HFpEF subgroups.

Pre‐Infection COVID‐19 Vaccination and Long‐Term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Adults Without Preexisting Cardiovascular Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Long‐term cardiovascular complications after COVID‐19 are increasingly recognized, yet the protective effect of pre‐infection vaccination in individuals without prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This study examined the association between COVID‐19 vaccination and major cardiovascular and related outcomes up to 3 ...

Pacing the Impossible: ICE‐ and Voltage‐Guided Atrial Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in Double Mechanical Valve Disease

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
A and B: Right atrial voltage mapping identified a limited region of viable myocardium within an extensive atrial scar. C: Intracardiac echocardiography guided safe deployment of an atrial leadless pacemaker. D and E: Fluoroscopy confirmed stable device positioning in the right atrial appendage of the patient.

Predictors and Outcomes of 30‐Day Readmissions Following Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the Nationwide Readmissions Database

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Among 134 114 atrial fibrillation hospitalizations treated with electrical cardioversion in the 2016–2017 NRD, 9.9% resulted in 30‐day readmission. Readmission was associated with higher mortality, longer stay and greater costs. Predictors included cardiometabolic comorbidities, female sex, lower income, Medicare/Medicaid insurance, nonhome discharge ...

Divergent Atrial Transcriptomic Signatures in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Diabetes alters the atrial transcriptome in atrial fibrillation, characterized by enhanced mitochondrial ATP synthesis, suppressed immune and inflammatory pathways, and distinct miRNA expression profiles, suggesting metabolic and epigenetic remodeling of the atrial substrate.

A Nomogram utilizing ECG P-wave parameters to predict recurrence risk following catheter ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Highlights Abnormal changes in P-wave parameters indicative of atrial electrical remodeling often manifest earlier than changes in other indicators reflecting atrial structural remodeling in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Preoperative absolute values of

Documented Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Cardiometabolic Phenotype, and Rhythm‐Related Outcomes After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: An Observational Cohort Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Documented OSAS identified a higher‐risk cardiometabolic phenotype in patients undergoing AF ablation, including greater obesity, hypertension, diabetes, persistent AF, and adverse lipid markers. However, it did not independently predict post‐ablation rhythm‐related outcomes in either the registry cohort or the actively followed cohort.

Lifestyle Factors and Thromboembolic Risk in Atrial Fibrillation: Age‐Dependent Effects of Smoking and Alcohol Consumption

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Association of current smoking and daily alcohol consumption with cardioembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) relates to cardioembolic stroke (CS), but the role of lifestyle factors, including smoking and alcohol, remains unclear.
