Sleep-disordered breathing does not directly affect early cardiac rehabilitation efficacy after myocardial infarction.

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) impairs exercise capacity after myocardial infarction (MI).

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SDB on the efficacy of post-MI cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Methods: The study evaluated consecutive patients up to 28 days after MI who participated in outpatient CR as part of the Polish Managed Care after Acute Myocardial Infarction program.

His bundle pacing is continually relevant for patients with atrial fibrillation and bradycardia without prior atrioventricular nodal ablation, data from mid-term follow-up.

Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and symptomatic bradycardia, His Bundle pacing (HBP) is used to achieve an appropriate heart rate and physiological depolarization of the left ventricle (LV).

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the impact of HBP on LV function in two different populations: normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and low LVEF (<50%).

Methods: Patients who received HBP as de novo therapy or as an upgrade were divided into two groups based on initial LVEF, followed by echocardiographic and device monitoring.

Relationship of Non-Invasive Arterial Stiffness Parameters with 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score in Post-COVID-19 Patients-The Results of a Cross-Sectional Study.

This study evaluated the relationship of non-invasive arterial stiffness parameters with an individual 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events in the cohort post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study group included 203 convalescents aged 60.0 (55.

Extraction of lumenless pacing leads from the His bundle and left bundle branch area: outcomes of the high-volume centre.

Aims: The application of conduction system pacing (CSP) in clinical practice is growing, and the need for lead extraction will also increase. The data on outcomes and safety of CSP lead extraction are limited. The aim of this study was to assess procedural outcomes and safety of CSP lead removal.

Effect of Sleep-Disordered Breathing on Exercise Capacity after Myocardial Infarction - A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Exercise capacity reflects the cardiovascular risk after myocardial infarction (MI). The study aims to evaluate the impact of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on exercise capacity after MI.

Methods: Consecutive patients referring to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation up to 28 days after MI and participating in the Polish Managed Care after Acute Myocardial Infarction (MC-AMI) program were included.
