Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between myocardial bridging (MB), a congenital anomaly affecting coronary arteries, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
- In a sample of 227 patients, those with higher MB severity (measured by myocardial bridge muscle index) were more likely to have LVH, with 36.1% of patients diagnosed with LVH showing significant differences in MB measurements.
- The results indicate a positive correlation between the severity of MB and left ventricular mass, suggesting more severe MB may contribute to LVH in patients examined during CCTA.
Head and neck tumors can rarely cause carotid sinus syndrome and this often resolves by surgical intervention or palliative chemoradiotherapy. If these modalities are not an option or are ineffective, the most preferred treatment is permanent pacemaker therapy. Here, we present the first case of cardioneuroablation treatment performed in patient with oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer who developed recurrent asystole and syncope attacks due to compression of the carotid sinus on neck movement.

This study aimed to assess efficiency of US-guided percutaneous cephalic vein (CV) puncture for placement of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
Methods: Patients undergoing a procedure including both US-guided pectoral nerve block (PECS) and percutaneous CV puncture were retrospectively investigated.
Background: Combined ultrasound (US)-guided pectoral nerves (PECS) block and axillary vein (AV) puncture for cardiac implantable electronic devices can be effective to achieve optimal perioperative pain management and prevent access-related complications.
Methods: A total of 36 patients who underwent combined US-guided PECS block and AV puncture were included. All routinely recorded parameters, including clinical and demographic characteristics, periprocedural medical administrations, the time taken for both PECS block and AV puncture, procedure time, postprocedural pain score, and procedure-related complications, were collected and analyzed.
