Pathophysiological Effects on Coronary Arteries Following Radiofrequency Ablation: A Comprehensive Review.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients experiencing ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. While complications after RFA are generally rare, the occurrence of coronary artery (CA) injury, albeit infrequent, can have significant clinical implications. Given the proximity of CAs to common ablation sites, understanding the interplay between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is paramount.

Monkeypox Vaccine Hesitancy Among Healthcare Workers in Pakistan.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate healthcare workers (HCWs) acceptance of the HMPXV vaccine in Pakistan and identify influencing factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 4257 HCWs assessed vaccine acceptance across demographics, ethnicity, marital status, specialty, medical conditions, and education. Logistic regression identified predictors of acceptance.

Role of Artificial Intelligence-assisted Decision Support Tool for Common Rhythm Disturbances: A ChatGPT Proof-of-concept Study.

Background: The objective of this article was to explore the use of ChatGPT as a clinical support tool for common arrhythmias.

Methods: This study assessed the feasibility of using ChatGPT as an AI decision-support tool for common rhythm disturbances. The study was conducted using retrospective data collected from electronic medical records (EMRs) of patients with documented rhythm disturbances.

Classifications of haemodialysis vascular access stenosis: a scoping review.

Objectives: Vascular access (VA) stenoses play a significant role in the morbidity of the haemodialysed population. Classifications for diagnosis, assessment and proposal of treatment strategies can be useful clinical and methodological tools. This review aims to present a comprehensive summary and propose further methodological approaches.

Using ultrasound in preoperative mapping and surveillance of arteriovenous grafts for haemodialysis improves patency rates: Single-centre experience.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate patency outcomes of arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) before and after using Duplex doppler ultrasonography (DUS) in preoperative mapping and surveillance of AVG.

Methods: In this single-centre, retrospective cohort study 212 patients receiving AVGs from January 2009 to December 2022 were included. In group 1, the creation of AVG as well as screening was based on physical examination alone.
