AI Article Synopsis
- Defects in cardiac electric impulse formation or conduction can cause arrhythmias, which may lead to sudden death.
- The text discusses genetic disorders linked to primary cardiac conduction defects, mainly due to mutations in ion channel genes.
- These primary disorders are not related to drug effects or secondary to other health issues like cardiomyopathies.
Article Abstract
Defects in cardiac electric impulse formation or conduction can lead to an irregular beat (arrhythmia) that can cause sudden death without any apparent cause or after stress. In the following sections, we describe the genetic disorders associated with primary cardiac conduction defects, primarily caused by mutations in ion channel genes. Primary indicates that these disorders are not caused by drugs and are not secondary to other disorders like cardiomyopathies (described in the next section).

Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang, China.
Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), significantly affecting prognosis during hospitalization. Early identification of high-risk patients is essential to reduce complications, improve outcomes, and guide clinical decision-making.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting in-hospital GIB in patients with AMI, identify key risk factors, and evaluate the clinical applicability of the model for risk stratification and decision support.
Analysis of the characteristics and illness comprehension bias among Chinese patients with psycho-cardiovascular disease: a multi-centre cross-sectional survey.
J Glob Health
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
Background: Psychological distress, such as depression and anxiety, impacts cardiovascular disease (CVD) prognosis and management. Illness comprehension is essential for effective treatment, but biases can lead to suboptimal outcomes. We explored psycho-cardiovascular disease (PCD) patient characteristics, with a specific focus on comprehension biases and treatment choices from patients' perspectives in China, to improve management strategies.

J Int Med Res
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI, United States.
Objectives: Central nervous system complications of acute pancreatitis (AP) can result in cerebral edema (CE). We assessed the risk of serious outcomes and health care features associated with CE in patients hospitalized with AP.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample database.
A cross-sectional study on the assessment of adherence to cardiovascular medications in Sudan heart center.
PLoS One
January 2025
Ambulatory Healthcare Services, Academic Affairs, Abu Dhabi Health Services (SEHA), Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Background: Non-adherence to cardiovascular medications is a global problem with clinical, economic, and humanistic consequences. Investigation of this problem may open the road for proper management of cardiovascular diseases.
Objective: Our objectives were to assess the level of adherence to, and to examine factors influencing adherence to, cardiovascular medications in subjects visiting a heart center in Sudan.
The changes in health-related quality of life after attending cardiac rehabilitation: A qualitative systematic review of the perspective of patients living with heart disease.
PLoS One
January 2025
Faculty of Health, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, England, United Kingdom.
Background: Although the benefits of engaging in cardiac rehabilitation are well established, patient perceptions of the changes in their health-related quality of life are poorly documented. This systematic review synthesized qualitative studies on patients' perspectives of change in their health-related quality of life after attending cardiac rehabilitation.
Objective: To identify and synthesize the best available evidence on the perspective of patients living with heart disease about the changes in their health-related quality of life after attending cardiac rehabilitation.
