Retrospective, Multicenter Study of Lacosamide to Treat Neonatal Seizures
ABSTRACT Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) are prescribed off label for neonates. Lacosamide's efficacy in infants and availability in intravenous formulation suggest potential utility for neonates. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of lacosamide for neonatal seizures. Methods This 10‐center, retrospective study of neonates with seizures

Monomorphic Ventricular Arrhythmias in Athletes. [PDF]
Ventricular arrhythmias are challenging to manage in athletes with concern for an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) during sports competition. Monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias (MMVA), while often benign in athletes with a structurally normal

Potential adverse drug events can be signaled in Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs). This study validated a Swedish CDSS (Janusmed Risk Profile) by investigating associations between calculated risk classifications of drugs with QT‐prolonging potential and registered related clinical outcomes.

Major Adverse Cardiac Events with Ondansetron: A Systematic Review
Evidence base: 170 randomized trials, 23,421 adults, predominantly single‐dose IV ondansetron, mean follow‐up 20 days. Observed outcomes: Major adverse cardiac events were rare, no ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes observed. Conclusion: Ondansetron was not associated with increased mortality or serious cardiac arrhythmias in adult ...

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.

Isolated right ventricular noncompaction caused ventricular tachycardia and pulmonary embolism
Isolated ventricular noncompaction is an unclassified cardiomyopathy due to intrauterine arrest of compaction of the loose interwoven meshwork. Its mortality and morbidity are high, including heart failure, thromboembolic events, and ventricular ...
