Establishment and evaluation of a nomogram prediction model for risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after the cox-maze IV procedure.

The Cox-Maze IV (CMIV) procedure is the mainstay in surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the rate of AF recurrence after the CMIV procedure in patients with persistent AF is difficult to accurately evaluate. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model of AF recurrence within 1 year after undergoing the Cox-Maze IV procedure. We retrospectively enrolled 303 consecutive patients who underwent the Cox-Maze IV procedure for persistent AF concomitant with other cardiac procedures at our institute between 2019 and 2021.

Prince Sultan Cardiac Centre, Heart Function Unit, Department of Adult Cardiology Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRCA) is a prevalent disease, and it can be associated with heart failure (HF), left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH), atrial fibrillation (AF), and aortic stenosis (AS).
Aim: The study aims to detect the prevalence of ATTRCA in the symptomatic AS population.
Method: A single-center prospective study screening for ATTRCA in patients diagnosed with symptomatic severe AS undergoing aortic valve (AV) intervention.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.
Unlabelled: The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction, severe pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, and severe primary mitral regurgitation is rare and presents distinct management challenges.
Background And Clinical Significance: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy managed medically and often precludes patients from undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass due to increased surgical morbidity and mortality. In studies specifically evaluating surgical myectomy, however, survival is favorable in patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.
Left bundle branch area pacing in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: a case series.

Division of Cardiology, Internal Medicine III, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka 431-3192, Japan.
Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is associated with various arrhythmias, including atrioventricular block. Despite this correlation, established treatments for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis-associated arrhythmias are lacking. Left bundle branch area pacing is a promising physiological pacing technique.

Background: Patients after kidney transplantation (KTx) in childhood show a high prevalence of cardiac complications, but the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood. In adults, myocardial fibrosis detected in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is already an established risk factor. Data for children after KTx are not available.
