Aims: Patients with D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) and atrial switch experience late morbidity and mortality related to atrial arrhythmias and systemic right ventricular (SRV) failure. We sought to analyze the influence of atrial arrhythmias on long-term outcomes in this group.
Methods: A retrospective review of all patients with D-TGA and atrial switch followed at a tertiary care center was performed.
Aim: The optimal arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO) for patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between post-resuscitation PaCO and neurological outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Study of Advanced Life Support for Ventricular Fibrillation with Extracorporeal Circulation in Japan, a multicenter registry study across 36 hospitals in Japan, including patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to intensive care units (ICU) after ECPR between 2013 and 2018.

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major concern in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have different guidelines for SCD risk stratification. Their comparative performance in diverse populations remains uncertain.

Aortic dissection (AD) is a medical emergency that occurs as a result of a compromise in the structural integrity of the aorta. If left untreated, AD can have severe consequences such as organ dysfunction or even death. Malperfusion syndrome is a major complication of aortic dissection with mesenteric malperfusion syndrome being a rare but devastating form that can lead to mesenteric ischemia and is associated with poor prognosis despite timely management.

Background: The Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health challenge worldwide, with survival outcomes heavily influenced by early intervention. The presence of an initial shockable rhythm significantly increases the likelihood of survival when combined with timely cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation.
Objective: To analyze patient outcomes and the incidence of bystander and dispatch-guided CPR in cases of OHCA with an initial shockable rhythm treated by physician-led emergency medical teams in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
