Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the incidence and significance of isolated PR prolongation (IPRP) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), particularly without accompanying QRS changes on ECG.
- Out of 1108 patients, 146 exhibited IPRP, and their clinical outcomes, including the need for pacemakers and overall mortality, were compared with 290 patients without ECG changes post-TAVI.
- Results indicated that IPRP in patients with narrow QRS was not linked to negative outcomes, suggesting that doctors may take a more lenient approach toward treating these patients.
Over the past two decades there have been significant developments in the fields of laboratory technology, genetics and bioinformatics. These developments have raised the attractiveness of liquid biopsy - a test aimed to detect tumor markers in body fluids. One of the liquid biopsy methods is based on identification of circulating tumor DNA - fragments of DNA originating from the tumor which are evident in the bloodstream - revealing the various tumor characteristics via simple blood tests.

Recent studies suggested that activated STAT3 (pSTAT3) might serve as a biomarker of outcome in breast cancer patients. In the present work, we have analyzed the added value of pSTAT3 to OncotypeDx Recurrence Score (RS) in patient prognostication.

Patients And Methods: Retrospectively, we analyzed 346 women diagnosed with breast tumors.
