Article Synopsis
- * In a trial involving 108 patients, the group utilizing smartwatches showed strong correlations in monitoring heart rate and blood pressure compared to traditional methods, while also identifying challenges in measuring oxygen saturation.
- * The findings suggest that smartwatch monitoring is reliable and effective for early detection of complications, which can lead to timely medical interventions, thereby reducing risks post-surgery.
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a very rare orphan genetic multisystem channelopathy without structural heart disease (with rare exceptions).

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty on left atrium volumes and the left atrium emptying fraction in symptomatic mitral valve stenosis patients using 2-dimensional and real-time 3 -dimensional transthoracic echocardiography.
Methods: We carried out a prospective study of 28 consecutive symptomatic mitral valve stenosis patients, aged 22-72 (39 [11.
