Article Synopsis
  • Early repolarization syndrome (ERS) is linked to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) and has unexplained characteristics and risk factors for electrical storms (ES).
  • In a study involving 44 ERS patients, 30% experienced ES, mainly during the initial VF episodes, with higher J-wave voltage observed in those undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.
  • Key factors associated with ES included shorter QT intervals, pilsicainide-induced ST elevation, and elevated Shanghai Score System scores, indicating that therapeutic hypothermia also poses a risk for ES during acute phases.

Unlabelled: Spontaneous periodic hypothermia (SPH) is an exceptionally rare condition characterised by paroxysmal episodes of spontaneous hypothermia. While commonly associated with Shapiro syndrome, which includes SPH, hyperhidrosis and agenesis of the corpus callosum, there are also cases of SPH that do not exhibit these defining characteristics, known as 'Shapiro syndrome variant'. These variants may present with diverse brain imaging findings but no agenesis of the corpus callosum, suggesting different potential aetiologies.

Introduction: In the setting of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), several randomized control trials (RCTs) suggested a potential benefit with the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). However, results from previous studies are contradictory.

Method: We performed a comprehensive literature search for studies that evaluated the efficacy and safety of adjunctive TH compared to the standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in awake patients with STEMI.

To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients with critical burns. A retrospective case series study was conducted. From January 2017 to December 2021, two hundred and twenty-seven critically burned aldult patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University, including 173 males and 54 females, aged 19-83 (43±14) years.
