Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Definition, Mechanisms, and Treatment Perspectives.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Hasselt University, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences / Limburg Clinical Research Centre, Agoralaan, Diepenbeek, Belgium.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore the complex interplay between atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal is to define these conditions, examine their underlying mechanisms, and discuss treatment perspectives, particularly addressing diagnostic challenges.
Recent Findings: Recent research highlights the rising prevalence of AFMR, now accounting for nearly one-third of significant mitral regurgitation cases.
Detecting Hemorrhagic Myocardial Infarction With 3.0-T CMR: Insights Into Spatial Manifestation, Time-Dependence, and Optimal Acquisitions.

Background: Hemorrhagic myocardial infarction (hMI) can rapidly diminish the benefits of reperfusion therapy and direct the heart toward chronic heart failure. T2∗ cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference standard for detecting hMI. However, the lack of clarity around the earliest time point for detection, time-dependent changes in hemorrhage volume, and the optimal methods for detection can limit the development of strategies to manage hMI.

: The study investigates sex-related differences and outcomes in unselected patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography (CA). Sex-based differences with regard to baseline characteristics and management of patients with cardiovascular disease have yet been demonstrated. However, their impact on long-term outcomes in unselected patients undergoing CA remains unknown.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality, particularly in women. With early intervention being a cornerstone of CS management, this study aims to explore whether sex differences exist in the utilization of critical interventions, timing of treatment, and in-hospital mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and non-AMI-CS. For this retrospective cohort study, we queried the National Inpatient Sample (years 2016-2021) for CS-related hospitalizations.
