Background: Left atrial low-voltage areas (LVAs) are known to be associated with atrial myopathy and atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. However, the association between body size and prevalence of LVAs has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between body size and the prevalence of LVAs in patients with AF ablation.

To evaluate the association between fluid balance within 48 hours after initiating continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and 90-day mortality of patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Adult patients who received CRRT for CSA-AKI for more than 24 hours between January 2016 and December 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were prospectively included. Exposures were fluid input, fluid output, fluid balance and percentage of fluid overload change (defined as weight-standardized fluid input/output difference) within 48 hours after CRRT initiation.

The impact of alcohol consumption and its restriction on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains elusive. We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes in drinkers undergoing PCI. We included 77,409 patients who underwent PCI and a health check-up within one year of the PCI using a nationwide prospective database from the Korean National Health Insurance System.

Background And Aims: This study aimed to evaluate whether there is a J-curve association between blood pressure (BP) and carotid artery intima-media thickening (CAIT) and estimate the effect of the turning point of BP on CAIT.
Methods And Results: Data from 111,494 regular physical examinations conducted on workers and retirees (aged 18 years or older) between January 2011 and December 2016, exported from the hospital information system, were analyzed. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) logistic regression was employed to access the association of BP with CAIT, and Bayesian benchmark dose methods were used to estimate the benchmark dose as the departure point of BP measurements.
