Mitral valve prolapse in sudden cardiac arrest survivors: Coincidence or causal relationship?
Heart Rhythm
January 2025
Department of Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiac Rehabilitation, National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk stratification in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may be complicated by other potential causes of arrhythmia.
Objective: We aimed to characterize SCA survivors with isolated MVP (iMVP) and non-isolated MVP (non-iMVP) and to assess their long-term follow-up.
Methods: This ambispective study included 75 patients with MVP who experienced SCA and were treated in our center between 2009 and 2024.
Atrial Fibrillation-Related Bradycardia and/or Bradycardia-Related Atrial Fibrillation: When and How to Intervene.
Curr Vasc Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Athens University School of Medicine, Athens, Greece.
Introduction/objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) could present with slow ventricular-response; bradycardia could facilitate the emergence of AF. The conviction that one "does not succumb" from bradycardia as an escape rhythm will emerge unless one sustains a fatal injury following syncope is in stark difference with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VA), which may promptly cause cardiac arrest. However, this is not always the case, as a life-threatening situation may emerge during the bradycardic episode, i.

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Osaka, Japan.
Unlabelled: A 60-year-old woman with a recent history of presumed cardiogenic cerebral infarction was referred for surgical removal of a left ventricular mass. She was diagnosed with Fabry disease eight years before. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mobile echogenic mass in the left ventricular apex.

December 2024
Department of Neurological Sciences, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. Electronic address:
Objective: To examine recurrence rates in patients undergoing microsurgical excision of colloid cysts of the third ventricle with long-term serial clinical and imaging follow-up and to identify risk factors for cyst recurrence.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed a single-surgeon cohort of 84 patients who underwent microsurgical excision of a third ventricular colloid cyst between 1994 and 2018 and who were followed for at least 12 months after surgery. The primary outcome of interest was recurrence (asymptomatic and symptomatic).
Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma with Extensive Invasion of the Right Ventricle: A Case Report and Review of Therapeutic Options.
Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
November 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Grand Hôpital de Charleroi, Charleroi, Belgium.
Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is a rare, aggressive cancer originating from the intimal layer of the pulmonary artery (PA), often mistaken for pulmonary thromboembolism. This case report underscores the complex management of PAS and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and treatment. A 52-year-old woman with PAS was diagnosed using imaging and therapeutic tests to distinguish it from pulmonary embolism.
