The predictive value of abnormal electrocardiogram for patent foramen ovale: A retrospective study.

Background And Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to identify the characteristics of electrocardiogram (ECG) in adult patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and to analyze the predictive value of the characteristics of ECG for PFO in adult patients.

Methods: Retrospectively, 267 patients who had undergone ECG, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with agitated saline contrast echocardiography in our hospital, were recruited continuously from January 2021 to March 2023. Electrocardiographs were analyzed to investigate the presence of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and crochetage R wave.

Relationship between long non-coding RNA and prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can predict the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after obtaining percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), while this conclusion still needs to be further confirmed. Therefore, this study attempted to explore the relationship between lncRNA and prognosis in CHD patients after PCI.

Methods: The database was retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical literature Database (CBM), Chinese Scientific and Journal Database (VIP), Wan Fang database, PubMed, and EMBASE.

Effect of Psychological-Behavioral Intervention on the Depression and Anxiety of COVID-19 Patients.

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused increasing public panic and mental health stress. In this study, we explore the prevalence and factors linked to anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. A total of 144 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 underwent depression and anxiety assessment by using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Expression of Rho Kinase and Its Mechanism in the Left Atrial Appendage in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

To study the expression of Rho kinase (Rho associated coil forming protein kinase-1, ROCK-1) and its substrate myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (myosin phosphatase target subunit-1, MYPT-1), connexin 40 (Cx40) and connexin 43 (Cx43) in the left atrial appendage of patients with atrial fibrillation, and explore the role of ROCK signaling pathway in patients with atrial fibrillation and its underlying mechanism. Methods: 40 patients undergoing open heart surgery were divided into two groups; atrial fibrillation group (AF group) and sinus rhythm group (SR group). About 100 mg of left atrial appendage tissue was taken during surgery and quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen.
