Sex Differences in Cardiac Rehabilitation Access and Utilization: A Systematic Review of Barriers and Facilitators in Cardiovascular Care

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is central to secondary prevention, but women remain less likely than men to access and fully utilize CR. This systematic review examined sex differences across the CR utilization continuum, separating referral, enrollment, attendance or session exposure, and program completion, and evaluated barriers and ...

Spatial Mismatch Between Angiographic Obstruction and Plaque Destabilization in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Conceptual Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of the “culprit lesion” in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) traditionally relies on coronary angiography, assuming that the most severe stenosis, abrupt occlusion, or largest filling defect marks the site of plaque destabilization.

Stability of Conduction Patterns in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2017
There is a growing interest and practice of guidance of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) by specific conduction patterns (rotors, point sources, regions of conduction slowing). Temporal stability of conduction patterns in AF has not been studied in detail.

Residual Shunt at 6 Months Follow‐up After Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure in CAHAL: A Comparison of Occlutech and Amplatzer

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Residual shunt is a known complication in percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, and moderate to large residual shunt has been associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke. Device‐related factors, such as device size, have been associated with residual shunt, but comparative data per device type are scarce.

Hemodynamic loading regulates formation and patterning of atrial pectinate muscles in the chick embryo

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Development and differentiation of the atrial myocardium. Hemodynamic loading triggers shear stress response, which is essential for pectinate muscle formation; mechanical stretching is important for the expression of chamber myocardium markers and proper maturation of the atrial contractile and conductive properties.

Catheter Ablation or Surgical Therapy in Severe Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation Caused by Long‐Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation—Propensity Score Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background There is no consensus on the treatment strategy for patients with severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation combined with heart failure (HF), with a lack of comparative studies in patients with long‐standing persistent atrial fibrillation ...

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Using and interpreting cost-effectiveness acceptability curves: an example using data from a trial of management strategies for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2006
Background: The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC) is a method for summarizing the uncertainty in estimates of cost-effectiveness. The CEAC, derived from the joint distribution of costs and effects, illustrates the (Bayesian) probability ...

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...
