Objective: The left ventricular thrombus is one of the serious complications of ischemic cardiomyopathy. In this study, we aimed to search for the independent factors to predict the resolution of left ventricular thrombus.
Methods: This retrospective study included all patients with coronary artery disease, aged above 18 years old, and with the thrombus at the apical location of the left ventricle.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relation of high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) elevation with characteristics of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) episode (duration and maximum heart rate) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) findings in patients with SVT who presented to the emergency room with palpitation.
Methods: This retrospective, single-center, noninvasive study included all patients aged between 18 years and 65 years who presented to the emergency department due to narrow-complex SVT and underwent CCTA to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) due to elevation of hs-cTnT and reverted back to sinus rhythm after intravenous adenosine. The first, second, and the maximum hs-cTnT levels were obtained from the database.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use on ventricular repolarization, focusing on specific markers like the QT interval and Tp-e interval.
- Researchers examined 36 e-cigarette users and 40 healthy individuals, comparing their electrocardiogram (ECG) results to assess ventricular repolarization parameters.
- The findings revealed that e-cigarette users had significantly higher Tp-e intervals, corrected Tp-e values, and Tp-e/QT ratios, suggesting that e-cigarette use may disrupt normal heart rhythm and increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.

Symptomatic aortic aneurysms can manifest in different clinical settings, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute heart failure, a shock that is mostly due to the complications related to dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. In these clinical settings, the diagnosis can be established with the help of medical history, physical examination, and promptly performed imaging tests. However, the diagnosis of an asymptomatic aortic aneurysm is usually incidental.
