A Case of Intensified Fourth and Second Heart Sounds Analyzed Using a Visualized Phonocardiogram during the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Recovery Efforts.
Intern Med
December 2024
Heart Valve Center, Midori Hospital, Japan.
A 54-year-old man presented with a significant fourth heart sound (S4) and increased intensity of the second heart sound (S2), despite the absence of heart failure symptoms, in the second week of March 2024. Visualized phonocardiograms confirmed these findings, and further interviews revealed that he had suffered lifestyle changes, such as long commutes and sodium overload, while contributing to the response efforts in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Visualized phonocardiograms were also influential in determining the treatment strategy, persuading the patient to undergo a specific therapy, evaluating the therapeutic effects, and suggesting a new model for clinical practice.

Background And Objective: Surgery for mitral valve disease is a developing area with a wide range of surgical options. There is growing evidence on the best approach for secondary ischemic mitral regurgitation (SIMR) when the pathology is within the ventricle. The goal of this literature review is to provide a comprehensive comparison of surgical treatments for SIMR.

Article Synopsis
- Heart-focused anxiety is the fear and concern about heart-related issues and their serious consequences, leading to avoidance behaviors and frequent medical help-seeking.
- A study was conducted with 120 patients before cardiac catheterization to assess how Emotional-Focused Coping techniques impacted their anxiety levels, using a pretest and posttest design.
- Results showed a significant reduction in anxiety levels after applying these coping strategies, indicating they are effective and easy interventions for managing heart-focused anxiety.
Physiologic pacing in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with electroanatomic mapping guidance: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
October 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, PO Box 39040, Klatzkin 35, Tel Aviv 6997801, Israel.
Background: This case report details the application of left bundle branch pacing in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cc-TGA), a rare congenital heart defect characterized by anatomical complexities that pose unique challenges in the management of device-related complications and heart failure. The patient's history is notable for complex anatomical considerations, cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, and heart failure.
Case Summary: The patient underwent a series of interventions, including treatment for pocket-site infections, abandonment of epicardial leads, and an unsuccessful attempt at trans-catheter leadless pacemaker implantation.
Performance of the Mammoth Balloon Catheter in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis Undergoing Percutaneous Treatment.

U.O. Cardiologia Ospedaliera, IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi Sant'Ambrogio, 20157 Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is a procedure used for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, either as preparation for trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or alone in certain cases; the study focused on the newly available Mammoth balloon catheter (BC) used in this context.
- - A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients treated with the Mammoth BC at a hospital in Milan, where technical success was defined by the ability to successfully deploy and inflate the catheter without significant complications like injury or stroke.
- - The results showed a 100% technical success rate in 121 procedures with no complications attributed to the Mammoth BC; however, some patients in the stand-alone group
