Risk of death and thrombosis in patients admitted to the emergency department with supraventricular tachycardias.

Background: Few data are available on the clinical course of patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the 1-year risk of adverse events in patients with SVT.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted within TriNetX.

Halofilins as emerging bactofilin families of archaeal cell shape plasticity orchestrators.

Bactofilins are rigid, nonpolar bacterial cytoskeletal filaments that link cellular processes to specific curvatures of the cytoplasmic membrane. Although homologs of bactofilins have been identified in archaea and eukaryotes, functional studies have remained confined to bacterial systems. Here, we characterize representatives of two families of archaeal bactofilins from the pleomorphic archaeon , halofilin A (HalA) and halofilin B (HalB).

Dual-chamber vs. single-chamber pacemaker in patients in sinus rhythm with an atrioventricular block: a nationwide cohort study.

Aims: In complete atrioventricular block (AVB) with underlying sinus rhythm, it is recommended to implant a dual-chamber pacemaker rather than a single-chamber pacemaker. However, no large-scale study has been able to demonstrate the superiority of this choice on hard clinical criteria such as morbimortality.

Methods And Results: This retrospective observational study included all patients who received a primary pacemaker implantation in the indication of complete AVB with underlying sinus rhythm in France, based on the national administrative database between January 2013 and December 2022.

The impact of gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension on future cardiovascular events: A nationwide cross-sectional cohort study.

Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of female death worldwide. The link between future cardiovascular events and a history of hypertensive disease in pregnancy or gestational diabetes (GDM) has been well established. Less well understood is the impact on future cardiovascular risk when gestational hypertension (GH) and GDM have occurred together.
