Surgical outcomes in adolescents and adults with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. This study aims to evaluate the medium-term outcomes of surgical repair for AAOCA and to introduce a ...

Local atrial bipolar electrogram voltage drops during cardiac magnetic resonance guided catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter: Associations with delivered radiofrequency energy and peri-procedural imaging

Heart Rhythm O2
Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-guided catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) has been proven feasible, but determinants of local electrogram (EGM) voltage drops during radiofrequency (RF) applications are unknown.

The mediatory role of androgens on sex differences in glucose homeostasis and incidence of type 2 diabetes: the KORA study

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Sex differences exist in type 2 diabetes (T2D), and androgens have been implicated in the etiology of T2D in a sex-specific manner. We therefore aimed to investigate whether androgens play a role in explaining sex differences in glucose ...

The association between the stress hyperglycaemia ratio and mortality in cardiovascular disease: a meta-analysis and systematic review

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background A raised stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been associated with all-cause mortality and may better discriminate than an absolute glucose value. The aim of this meta analysis and systematic review is to synthesise the evidence assessing the

Low-frequency variants in genes involved in glutamic acid metabolism and γ-glutamyl cycle and risk of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background A common genetic variant at the glutamate-ammonia ligase (GLUL) locus has been previously associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as alterations of glutamic acid metabolism and the γ-glutamyl cycle in ...
