Differential determinants and prognostic value of aortic valve sclerosis over carotid atherosclerosis.
Int J Cardiol
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Heart Center, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:
Background: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a progressive atherosclerotic disease associated with future cardiovascular events (CVE). However, whether its development and prognostic value are independent of arterial atherosclerosis has not been thoroughly investigated. We evaluated the determinants and prognostic value of AVS in conjunction with carotid atherosclerosis.

Neurology
February 2025
Department of Neurology, John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperacute cardiac CT is more effective than transthoracic echocardiography in detecting intracardiac thrombus, but its routine use is limited due to costs and risks.
- A study of 1,136 ischemic stroke or TIA patients found that longer arterial input function (AIF) dispersal times correlate with the presence of thrombus and worse outcomes, with a specific cutoff of 33 seconds indicating higher risk.
- The findings support using AIF dispersal measurements to help identify patients who may benefit from cardiac imaging, potentially optimizing resource use in stroke management.
Six-Month Outcomes in the Long-Term Outcomes After the Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Study.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a life-threatening complication of COVID-19 infection. Data on midterm outcomes are limited.
Objective: To characterize the frequency and time course of cardiac dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <55%), coronary artery aneurysms (z score ≥2.
Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Biopsy-Proven Myocarditis.
JACC Asia
December 2024
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is increasingly recognized as an effective treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in myocarditis patients, although current evidence is based on less robust data.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm CA's efficacy in reducing VT recurrence and to identify arrhythmic risk factors in biopsy-proven myocarditis patients.
Methods: In this dual-center, retrospective study, we included 50 patients with biopsy-proven myocarditis and VT.
Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Compared to Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Septal Pacing: Mid-term Results and Learning Curve.
J Innov Card Rhythm Manag
December 2024
Arrhythmia Unit, Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Clinico Lozano Blesa, Zaragoza, Spain.
Our study evaluated the efficacy and feasibility of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) compared to right ventricular outflow tract septal pacing (RVOSP). We conducted a prospective, single-center, observational study involving 200 consecutive patients who required pacemaker implantation. The patients were divided into two groups (LBBAP and RVOSP), with 100 patients in each group.
