Cardiovascular Disease-Specific Responses to Autonomic Denervation.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, Liaoning, China. Electronic address:
Background: Calcium-mediated autonomic denervation has been shown to suppress postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate whether similar autonomic denervation can prevent POAF after mitral or aortic valve surgeries.
Methods: This research consisted of 2 single-center, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trials: CAP-AF2 (Calcium Autonomic Denervation Prevents Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Isolated Mitral Valve Surgery for Mitral Regurgitation) for mitral valve (MV) surgery and CAP-AF3 (Calcium Autonomic Denervation Prevents Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Isolated Aortic Valve Surgery) for aortic valve surgery.
Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter in a Contemporary Cohort of Patients With Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Cardiovascular Medicine Division, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Literature on the prevalence and management of atrial arrhythmias in patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy type 1 (MMD1) or myotonic muscular dystrophy type 2 (MMD2) is limited.
Objectives: This study sought to describe incidence, prevalence, and predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) in a contemporary cohort of patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD).
Methods: Associations between patient factors and incident AF/AFL were analyzed in patients with MMD referred for routine electrophysiology evaluation between January 2013 and September 2023.
Early Use of Liraglutide for the Treatment of Acute COVID-19 Infection: An Open-Label Single-Center Phase II Safety Study with Biomarker Profiling.
Infect Dis Rep
January 2025
Royal Brompton Hospital, Part of GSTT NHS Foundation Trust, London SW3 6NP, UK.
Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are an existing treatment option for patients with insulin-resistant states, which elicit further pleiotropic effects related to immune cell recruitment and vascular inflammation. GLP-1 agonists downregulate the cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) receptor, one of several receptors for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that mediate viral infection of host cells.
Methods: We conducted an open-label prospective safety and tolerability study including biomarker responses of the GLP-1 agonist Liraglutide, administered for 5 days as an add-on therapy to the standard of care within 48 h of presentation in a cohort of 13 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Cause of Death Analysis in a 9½-Year-Old with COVID-19 and Dravet Syndrome.
Pathophysiology
January 2025
Division of Anatomical Pathology, Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Royal University Hospital, 103 Hospital Drive, Saskatoon, SK S7N 0W8, Canada.
: Cause of death analysis is fundamental to forensic pathology. We present the case of a 9½-year-old girl with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Dravet syndrome who died in her sleep with no evidence of motor seizure. She also had a lifelong history of recurrent pneumonias and, along with her family, had tested positive for COVID-19 10 days before death.

J Am Heart Assoc
January 2025
The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital Jiangsu China.
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a reliable marker of insulin resistance. However, its value in patients with carotid plaque stability remains unclear. This study investigated the association between the TyG index and unstable carotid plaque.
