Beyond arrhythmias in the ECG: Is there any correlation between QT interval and stroke subtype and severity?

J Clin Neurosci

January 2025

Comprehensive Centre for Stroke Care, Department of Neurology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala 695011, India. Electronic address:

Background: The QT interval in ECG is susceptible to autonomic fluctuations, a known occurrence in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Previous research has highlighted QT interval changes between ischemic and haemorrhagic strokes. However, there is scarce literature on the differential effect of AIS subtypes on QT interval.

To assess the effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on electrocardiographic remodeling in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), and identify its influencing factors. A cohort study was conducted on patients with a confirmed diagnosis of severe AS who successfully underwent TAVR at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2018 and March 2023. Data, including standard 15-lead electrocardiograms and echocardiograms, were collected before the operation, 1 week after the operation, and 3 months after the operation.

Is hypercalcemia immediately life-threatening ? A prospective study.

Endocr Connect

January 2025

C Guimard, Department of Medicine, Clinique Jules Verne, Nantes, France.

Objective: Hypercalcemia is often considered as an emergency because of a potential risk life-threatening arrhythmias or coma. However, there is little evidence, apart from case studies, that hypercalcemia can be immediately life-threatening. The aim of our study was to assess prospectively, if hypercalcemia (Ca ≥ 3 mmol/L) was associated with immediately life-threatening complications.

A multicenter retrospective study of early cardiac toxicity in operable breast cancer patients receiving concurrent dual or mono anti-HER2 therapy with postoperative radiation therapy.

Breast

January 2025

Department of Radiation Oncology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 200025, China; Shanghai Key Laboratory of Proton Therapy, Shanghai, 201801, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: This study aims to assess whether dual anti-HER2 therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab increases early cardiac toxicity compared to trastuzumab alone in breast cancer (BC) patients receiving postoperative radiation therapy (RT).

Methods: Consecutive operable BC patients receiving postoperative RT and trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab between January 2017 and September 2020 at seven tertiary hospitals in China were retrospectively reviewed. Cardiac examinations included echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), NT-proBNP, and cTnI at baseline before RT and during the follow-up.

Spatial QRS-T angle can indicate presence of myocardial fibrosis in pediatric and young adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

J Electrocardiol

December 2024

Crown Princess Victoria Children's Hospital, Dept of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Dept of Pediatrics, Linköping University, Sweden; Pediatric Heart Centre, Skåne University Hospital and Dept of Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Sweden. Electronic address:

Background: Myocardial fibrosis, expressed as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), is an important risk factor for malignant cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, CMR is not easily available, expensive, also needing intravenous access and contrast.

Objective: To determine if derived vectorcardiographic spatial QRS-T angles, an aspect of advanced ECG (A-ECG), can indicate LGE to appropriately prioritize young HCM-patients for CMR.
