Ventricular arrhythmias were studied by Holter's 24-hour ECG monitoring in 215 acute myocardial infarction patients within the first day of the disease. Twenty-five minutes sessions of blood irradiation by a 2-4 mW helium-neon laser (HNL) through a light guide, introduced into the right atrium via the subclavian vein, were conducted for 3-5 days in 180 patients. The HNL therapy showed a marked antiarrhythimic effect in acute myocardial infarction, significant for the prevention and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. High antiarrhythmic activity was noted in patients with frequent ventricular extrasystoles and high-grade arrhythmias. Control patients showed no significant spontaneous reduction of the rate of ventricular arrhythmias over a comparable period of time.

Background: The effect of targeted temperature management (TTM) combined with decompressive craniectomy (DC) on poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been previously addressed in the literature. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic outcomes of the combination of TTM and DC in patients with poor-grade aSAH.
Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of the Multicenter Clinical Research on Targeted Temperature Management of Poor-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (High-Quality TTM for PaSAH), a multicenter prospective study conducted in China.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a major global health burden, encompassing a spectrum of conditions from unstable angina to acute myocardial infarction. Despite advancements in early detection and management, ACS is often complicated by the development of heart failure. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify factors associated with the development of heart failure following acute coronary syndrome.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treating symptomatic cholelithiasis due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery, but it is not without risks. A key component of this procedure is the creation of pneumoperitoneum. This is achieved by insufflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2).
