State-of-the-art therapy improves the five-year survival rate of patients under the age of 20 with cranial and craniospinal tumors by up to 74%. The urgency of dealing effectively with late treatment-associated cardiovascular complications is rising. : We aimed to assess echocardiographic parameters and exercise performance in subjects with a history of complex treatment for cranial and craniospinal tumors in childhood.

- The study aimed to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) by using an extended echocardiography protocol to assess factors like diastolic function and left atrial strain.
- Data from 168 CHF patients without prior AF showed that 24.4% developed paroxysmal AF during a three-month follow-up, often without noticeable symptoms, indicating the silent nature of AF in CHF patients.
- Utilizing CardioQVARK® for heart rhythm monitoring proved to be the most effective method, detecting AF in 73.2% of cases, which was significantly higher compared to Holter ECG and traditional 12-lead ECG monitoring.

Article Synopsis
- Anti-cancer treatments can lead to serious heart issues, which are a leading cause of death in cancer survivors, highlighting the need for ongoing heart monitoring during and after treatment.
- A study involving 162 cancer patients showed that remote single-lead ECG monitoring effectively detected early signs of cardiotoxicity, with significant occurrences of QTc prolongation and new atrial fibrillation after chemotherapy.
- Early identification of heart problems from cancer treatments can significantly improve patient safety, and using portable ECG devices is a practical and cost-effective way to monitor these risks.
Unlabelled: It would be useful to develop a reliable method for the cuffless measurement of blood pressure (BP), as such a method could be made available anytime and anywhere for the effective screening and monitoring of arterial hypertension. The purpose of this study is to evaluate blood pressure measurements through a CardioQVARK device in clinical practice in different patient groups.
Methods: This study involved 167 patients aged 31 to 88 years (mean 64.
Aim To determine the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on kidney function in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Material and methods A controlled randomized study on the dapagliflozin treatment in ADHF was performed. Patients were randomized to a main group (standard therapy supplemented with dapagliflozin) or a control group (standard therapy for ADHF).
