Appropriateness of ChatGPT in Answering Heart Failure Related Questions.

Background: Heart failure requires complex management, and increased patient knowledge has been shown to improve outcomes. This study assessed the knowledge of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) and its appropriateness as a supplemental resource of information for patients with heart failure.

Method: A total of 107 frequently asked heart failure-related questions were included in 3 categories: "basic knowledge" (49), "management" (41) and "other" (17).

A Multidisciplinary Assessment of ChatGPT's Knowledge of Amyloidosis: Observational Study.

Background: Amyloidosis, a rare multisystem condition, often requires complex, multidisciplinary care. Its low prevalence underscores the importance of efforts to ensure the availability of high-quality patient education materials for better outcomes. ChatGPT (OpenAI) is a large language model powered by artificial intelligence that offers a potential avenue for disseminating accurate, reliable, and accessible educational resources for both patients and providers.

Anomalous origin of left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva.

Background: Anomalous coronary arteries are rare congenital variations with cases ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening. Given the wide variability of coronary anomalies, it is challenging to predict their clinical consequences. Here, we present the 'malignant' variant - interarterial course of the left coronary artery between the aorta and pulmonary trunk - given the highest risk of sudden cardiac death among the various coronary anomalies.

Pregnancy-related spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome in the third trimester.

Background: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death that is mostly seen in younger patients without significant cardiac risk factors. The mechanism by which SCAD causes an acute coronary event is related to the compromise of the coronary artery lumen as a result of hematoma within the vessel wall. In comparison to their non-pregnant counterparts, when SCAD is associated with pregnancy, it has been associated with an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and death.

Benefits of Neurohormonal Therapy in Patients With Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices.

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have dramatically improved short-term outcomes among patients with advanced heart failure. While neurohormonal blockade (NHB) is the cornerstone of treatment for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, its effect after LVAD placement has not been established. We reviewed medical records of 307 patients who underwent primary LVAD implantation from January 2006 to September 2015 at two institutions in the United States.
