"Double Capture" - a technique to differentiate narrow complex Supraventricular Tachycardias.

Background: There are various diagnostic manoeuvres to distinguish between atrial tachycardia (AT), atrio-ventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and orthodromic re-entrant tachycardia (ORT) when assessing a narrow complex supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in the electrophysiology (EP) laboratory. These manoeuvres are commonly used in combination to come to a diagnosis due to the inability of a single test to be able to reliably differentiate between the arrhythmias.

Objective: To determine whether a single captured His-synchronous simultaneous extra-stimulus in the atrium and ventricle ("Double Capture") can reliably distinguish the mechanism of a narrow complex SVT.

Advances in the Synthetic Utility of Difluorocarbene Generated from TMSCF (Ruppert-Prakash Reagent) and Its Derivatives.

Organofluorine compounds are of pivotal significance particularly, in drug and agrochemical industries and different strategies have been designed for their synthesis. The last two decades witnessed the emergence of difluorocarbene as an efficient synthetic tool, providing easy access to organofluorine compounds. This review summarises the reactions of difluorocarbene generated from Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF) and its derivatives TMSCFCl and TMSCFBr.

Hyperuricemia and Cardiovascular Risk: Insights and Implications.

Hyperuricemia, characterized by elevated serum uric acid levels, has been linked to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, metabolic syndrome, and coronary artery disease. This relationship, however, is complex; while some studies indicate a strong association, others suggest it may be influenced by confounding factors. The rising global prevalence of hyperuricemia underscores the necessity for a deeper understanding of its cardiovascular implications.

To Err Is Robot - an analysis of complications following robotic donor hepatectomy.

Background: Robotic donor hepatectomy (RDH) has been reported with lower morbidity than its open counterpart. Donor safety remains the primary concern precluding its wide adaption. We aimed to evaluate donor complications following RDH and identify their predictive factors.

Risk scores inconsistently predict sudden death and ventricular arrhythmias in repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Background: Risk scores designed to predict adverse events (AE) including sudden death and ventricular arrhythmias can guide heightened surveillance and defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Variability in risk stratification derived from differing scores and guidelines has not been examined in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF).

Objectives: To determine the consistency in AE risk prediction across published scoring systems in rTOF patients without a secondary prevention ICD indication.
