. To identify the difference between adult patients with septal defects and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and patients without a history of arrhythmia using the left atrial (LA) volume and function parameters, to reveal the parameters associated with AF development. .

- Carotid artery disease is common in patients with coronary heart disease, requiring revascularization options that include simultaneous or staged surgeries for treatment.
- A study involving 192 patients compared the outcomes of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus staged procedures, assessing their 30-day and long-term effects on overall health.
- Results showed no significant differences in short-term and long-term major cardiovascular events between the two groups, but the simultaneous surgery group had a higher risk of complications and required longer ventilatory support, despite not leading to more deaths or major adverse events.
Treatment Strategies for Chronic Coronary Heart Disease with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction or Preserved Ejection Fraction-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Pathophysiology
December 2023
Unlabelled: In this meta-analysis, we examine the advantages of invasive strategies for patients diagnosed with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) and preserved left ventricular (LV) function, as well as those with significant LV systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction (EF) < 45%).
Material And Methods: We conducted a systematic search to identify all randomized trials directly comparing invasive strategies with optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients diagnosed with chronic CHD. Data from these trials were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis.
Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviewed and analyzed the prognostic value of T1 mapping techniques using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
- A total of 7 studies were included, encompassing 1930 patients, which revealed that a higher extracellular volume (ECV) correlates with an increased risk of death or hospitalization due to heart failure, while native T1 values did not show significant associations.
- The findings support the use of ECV assessment via CMR as a valuable tool for risk stratification in HFpEF patients.
