Relationships between adrenal insufficiency and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with congestive heart failure.

Background And Aims: Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) face elevated risks during various hospitalizations including cardiovascular related admissions. Despite this, limited data exist specifically regarding congestive heart failure (CHF) in the context of AI. This investigation leveraged a comprehensive national database to examine the association between AI and cardiovascular outcomes among patients admitted with CHF.

Background: Better risk stratification is needed to evaluate patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) for prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD). Growing evidence suggests cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) may be useful in this regard.
Objective: We aimed to determine if late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) seen on CMR (dichotomized as none/minimal <2% vs significant ≥2%) predicts appropriate ICD therapies (primary endpoint) and/or all-cause mortality/transplant/left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation (secondary endpoint) in NICM patients.

Abnormal Venous Flow in Pregnant Women with Mild Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Clinical Model for Organ Dysfunction in Preeclampsia.

Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, 9700 RB Groningen, The Netherlands.
Pregnant women with congenital heart disease carry a high risk of complications, especially when cardiac function is suboptimal. Increasing evidence suggests that impaired right ventricular (RV) function has a negative effect on placental function, possibly through venous congestion. We report a case series of hepatic and renal venous flow patterns in pregnant women with right ventricular dysfunction after repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), relative to those observed in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia.

: The safety and efficacy of electrophysiological (EP) procedures using ultrasound (US) guidance are being increasingly studied. We investigated if a systematic workflow with ultrasound guidance (the US4ABL), comprising four steps (transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for left atrial thrombus exclusion, US of the groin vessels to guide femoral access, TEE-aided transseptal puncture, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for exclusion of pericardial tamponade after the procedure), reduces the number of complications and fluoroscopy duration and dose. : A total of 212 consecutive patients underwent left-sided ablations using the US4ABL workflow and were compared to a group of 299 patients who underwent the same type of ablations using post-procedural TTE to exclude tamponade (standard group: venous and/or arterial access by palpation and fluoroscopy, and pressure guided transseptal puncture).
