Anticoagulation intensity and outcomes among southeast‐Asians with moderate‐to‐severe mitral valve stenosis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Objective To determine the optimal anticoagulation intensity of warfarin in a South‐East Asian population with moderate‐to‐severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. Methods A multicentre, retrospective study examined patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who had not undergone valve replacement or repair and required long‐term warfarin therapy at two ...

Blockade of NaV1.8 Increases the Susceptibility to Ventricular Arrhythmias During Acute Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
SCN10A/NaV1.8 may be associated with a lower risk of ventricular fibrillation in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but if and by which mechanism NaV1.8 impacts on ventricular electrophysiology is still a matter of debate.

Spontaneous termination of ventricular fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2004
A 65 year old woman with hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation had suffered two brief syncopal episodes. She was on losartan, digoxin, and aspirin. The ECG showed atrial fibrillation and incomplete left bundle branch block; the QT interval was 0.36 s and the QTc 0.414 s. The echocardiogram revealed mild dilatation and dysfunction of …

Left atrial appendage thrombosis in a patient with Friedreich Ataxia–related cardiomyopathy, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and atrial fibrillation

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
Friedreich ataxia is the most common form of hereditary ataxia. Heart involvement in Friedreich ataxia is common and can include increased left ventricular wall thickness, atrial fibrillation, and in the later stages, a reduction of left ventricular ...

Propensity Matched Analysis of 14 French Suture‐ Versus Plug‐Based Vascular Closure During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plug‐based vascular closure devices (Pb‐VCD) and suture‐based vascular closure devices (Sb‐VCD) are used for percutaneous vascular access site closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Until now, no clear superiority of either device was shown in studies comparing 18 F VCDs solely.

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).
