Background And Objectives: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a life-threatening inherited arrhythmogenic disorder. Recently, , the major CPVT-causative gene, was associated with neuropsychiatric manifestations. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentations, neuropsychiatric manifestations, and treatment outcomes of children with CPVT.

Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a malignant polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with heart rate corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation, which may be attributed to congenital and acquired factors. Although various acquired factors for TdP have been summarized, levosimendan administration in complex postoperative settings is relatively uncommon. Timely identification of potential causes and appropriate management may improve the outcome.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have advanced the outcomes of many different types of cancer. A rare but extraordinarily severe complication of these agents resembles immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis, which typically occurs within the first few weeks after treatment initiation with a mortality of 25%-50%.
Case Report: A 57-year-old woman had uneventfully received pembrolizumab for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer for over 2.

Objective: To describe our early observations with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden death (SD) in patients using vape products.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of Mayo Clinic's Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic and Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory was performed on all SCA survivors and decedents who presented between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2021, to identify patients/decedents with a history of vaping. Data abstraction included patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and documented use of vape products.

Nafamostat mesylate (NM) affects coagulation and fibrinolysis and impedes obesity-associated protein demethylase activity, which regulates Na/K transport properties and the NF-κB signaling pathway. NM significantly decreases macrophage, neutrophil, and T lymphocyte infiltration, thereby reducing inflammation and apoptosis after reperfusion and promoting recovery in patients with severe conditions such as near-fatal asthma and cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices are used for cardiac and/or pulmonary support as a bridge to recovery, decision, surgery, or transplant in patients with refractory cardio-circulatory or respiratory diseases and provide essential opportunities for organ support and patient survival.
