Aims: Sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLTis) have cardiovascular protective effects. We aimed to assess the effects of SGLTis on individual hard clinical endpoints and quality of life (QoL) in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods And Results: Data was searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and clinicaltrials.

Article Synopsis
  • The procedure faces challenges including unique heart anatomy, catheter instability, and pinpointing the arrhythmia's origin.
  • The study combined transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with 3D mapping to improve localization and successfully ablate PVCs originating from the papillary muscles.

Cardiovascular alterations are common in patients who had ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke and other acute brain disorders such as seizures. These cardiac complications are important drivers of morbidity and mortality and comprise blood-based detection of cardiomyocyte damage, ECG changes, heart failure and arrhythmia. Recently, the concept of a distinct 'stroke-heart syndrome' has been formulated as a pathophysiological framework for poststroke cardiac complications.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study analyzed data from over 900 high-risk AF patients to compare outcomes between those receiving LAAO and those getting traditional treatment (mostly oral anticoagulants).
  • * Results showed no significant differences in stroke or cardiovascular death rates, but LAAO patients experienced significantly less clinically relevant bleeding compared to those on conventional treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the significance of cardiac troponin (cTn) levels in predicting mortality in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), analyzing data from the International Takotsubo Registry.
  • It identifies that a cTn increase greater than 28.8 times the upper reference limit signals clinically relevant myocardial injury, correlating with a higher risk of mortality over 5 years (adjusted HR 1.58).
  • The findings enhance understanding of patient risk profiles in TTS, emphasizing the need for increased monitoring and follow-up for those with significant troponin elevations.
