Prognostic implications of system inflammation response index in atrial fibrillation patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Sci Rep

Department of Nephrology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. System inflammation response index (SIRI), is an emerging biomarker designed to assess the extent of systemic inflammation. We aimed to delineate the prognostic significance of SIRI in patients with both AF and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The relationship between left atrial enlargement (LAE) and primary cryptogenic stroke (PCS) remains a mystery. LAE has been proposed to be an independent risk factor of PCS, recurrent ischemic strokes, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and thromboembolism. Our study evaluates the prevalence of LAE among patients with PCS in the absence of atrial fibrillation, unlike previous studies that included atrial fibrillation, in order to isolate LAE as a risk factor.

Knight Cardiovascular Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA.
Background: Patients with systemic right ventricle (SRV), either d-transposition of the great arteries following an atrial switch procedure or congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, develop severe right ventricular dysfunction, prompting appropriate medical therapy. However, the efficacy of beta-blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in SRV patients is unproven.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers on outcomes in SRV patients after accounting for likely cofounders affecting their use.
Cardiopulmonary exercise test with bicycle stress echocardiography for predicting adverse cardiac events in patients with stage A or B heart failure.
Am J Prev Cardiol

Department of Cardiology, Cardiovascular Center, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
Background: Given the high prevalence of stage A or B heart failure (HF), comprehensive screening for new-onset HF is cost-prohibitive. Therefore, further risk stratification is warranted to identify at-risk patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with bicycle stress echocardiography (BSE) in patients with stage A or B HF.

Kansai Rosai Hospital Cardiovascular Center, 3-1-69 Inabaso, Amagasaki, Hyogo, 660-8511, Japan.
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.
