The relationship between antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal syndrome (EPS) and the autonomic neurocardiac function was examined in 57 schizophrenic patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. Comprehensive assessments of EPS and heart rate dynamics were performed. There was a significant negative correlation of non-hypokinetic parkinsonism, akathisia, and dyskinesia with several linear and novel non-linear heart rate dynamics measures, suggesting reduced neurocardiac dynamics associated with some forms of EPS. Assessment of heart rate dynamics may be useful for the detection of these adverse effects and may serve as a useful non-invasive method providing a dynamic window into the alterations of complex neuronal activity.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease in Liveborn Infants in the New England Region.

Pediatr Cardiol

January 2025

Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Hasbro Children's Hospital, The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease requiring early cardiac catheterization or surgical intervention enables optimal delivery planning for appropriate postnatal cardiovascular intervention and care. This allows for improved morbidity and mortality. Prior national data reported prenatal diagnosis rates of 32% for congenital heart disease requiring intervention in infants in the first 6 months of life in the New England region.

Background: This study describes in detail the clinical burden of malperfusion associated with acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in a large, national cohort and the effect of treatment strategy on outcomes.

Methods: All patients undergoing repair of ATAAD between 2017 and 2020 in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database were studied. Malperfusion was defined using STS definitions based on imaging or surgeon's evaluation.

Association with Outcome of the Regurgitant-Volume Adjusted Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.

J Am Soc Echocardiogr

January 2025

Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy; Department of Cardiology, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, IRCCS, Milan, Italy.

Background: In patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) may not accurately reflect the actual RV systolic performance since a considerable amount of the RV stroke volume (SV) is regurgitated back into the right atrium. To overcome this limitation, we explored the association with the outcome of the effective RVEF (eRVEF), which accounts for the tricuspid regurgitant volume (RegVol).

Methods: 513 patients with STR (mean age 75±13 years, 39% atrial STR, 58% severe) underwent complete two-, three-dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography.
