Department of Geriatrics, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Tooth extraction is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, particularly in elderly patients. However, no clinical tool has been developed to date to predict the risk of adverse events (AEs) during tooth extraction.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively enrolled 774 elderly patients (aged ≥ 60 years) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) who were scheduled to undergo tooth extraction at the dental surgery department of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from January 2021 to July 2022.

Breast cancer lymphoscintigraphy is a crucial tool in pre-operative assessment, typically revealing sentinel lymph node drainage patterns within axillary and extra-axillary regions. However, rare cases challenge conventional understanding. We report a 67-year-old woman with breast cancer, where lymphoscintigraphy revealed focal uptake within the falciform ligament of the liver, an exceedingly rare phenomenon.

Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, 210029 Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Background: It is not uncommon that atrial fibrillation (AF) coexists with left bundle branch block (LBBB). Whether LBBB is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in AF patients remains undetermined. This study aims to investigate the impact of LBBB on the AF-related outcomes in non-valvular AF patients.

The mechanism and severity of mitral valve (MV) regurgitation (MR) play a critical role in guiding treatment decisions. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary diagnostic modality for evaluating MV disease. Discordant findings on TTE can be further quantified through transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
