Article Synopsis
- Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome can lead to serious heart issues, including sudden cardiac death, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF/AFL).
- A study involving over 35,000 military patients revealed that those with AF/AFL had significantly higher rates of adverse cardiac events and mortality compared to those without.
- The findings suggest that individuals with WPW syndrome and AF/AFL may benefit from more proactive heart monitoring and treatment options.
Background: Idiopathic granulomatous lobular mastitis (IGLM) is a rare, chronic inflammatory breast disease without a known etiology. Even though the current literature proposes several treatment strategies, there is no universal consensus for long-term management.

Background: Cigarette smoking is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Concomitant use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with lung cancer screening (LCS) has been proposed to further determine ASCVD risk and mortality. We aimed to determine the validity of LDCT in identifying CAC and its impact on statin management.
