Vascular calcification(VC) significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular events, leading to thickening of the myocardium and arteries, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and potentially triggering myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Although VC is a reversible process, there are currently no methods or medications in clinical practice that can completely reverse or cure it. The current treatment strategies primarily focus on slowing the progression of VC and exploring new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, making the identification of early diagnostic markers for VC particularly important.

Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is typically diagnosed following an arrhythmic event or during screening after a family member experiences sudden cardiac death. Implantation of a defibrillator (ICD) improves survival but can be associated with morbidity and risks, an important consideration within a shared decision-making context. This study examined patient decisional needs and preferences surrounding ARVC screening and prophylactic ICD implantation.

Sudden cardiac death is a leading cause of mortality in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The PRecIsion Medicine in CardiomYopathy consortium developed a validated tool (PRIMaCY) for sudden cardiac death risk prediction to help with implantable cardioverter defibrillator shared decision-making, as recommended by clinical practice guidelines. The mplemeting a udden Cardiac Dath isk Assessment ool in hildhood (INSERT-HCM) study aims to implement PRIMaCY into electronic health records (EHRs) and assess implementation determinants and outcomes.

We describe, to our knowledge, the first use in Dubai of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in a patient who suffered intraoperative cardiac arrest due to presumed cardiac channelopathy. A 40-year-old patient presented for open myomectomy surgery. She had no other medical problems apart from obesity.

Sudden cardiac death poses a significant risk in patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot. Despite extensive research, risk stratification practices vary. This study surveyed the Pediatric and Adult Congenital Electrophysiology Society to identify these differences.
