Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is safe and effective, though rare cases of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have been observed without proven causation. This review synthesizes TTS following AF ablation case reports and series. Until October 2024, PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for AF ablation and TTS case reports and series.

Examining the learning curves in robotic cardiac surgery wet lab simulation training.

Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg

December 2024

Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), Center for HR & Education, Denmark.

Background: Simulation-based training has gained distinction in cardiothoracic surgery, as robotic-assisted cardiac procedures evolve. Despite the increasing use of wet lab simulators, the effectiveness of these training methods and skill acquisition rates remain poorly understood.

Objective: This study aimed to compare learning curves and assess the robotic cardiac surgical skill acquisition rate for cardiac and noncardiac surgeons who had no robotic experience in a wet lab simulation setting.

Central sleep apnea (CSA), a rare polysomnographic finding in the general population, is prevalent in certain cardiovascular conditions including systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, carotid artery stenosis, stroke and use of certain cardiac-related medications. Polysomnographic findings of CSA with adverse cardiovascular impacts include nocturnal hypoxemia and arousals, which can lead to increased sympathetic activity both at night and in the daytime. Among cardiovascular diseases, CSA is most prevalent in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction; a large study of more than 900 treated patients has shown a dose dependent relationship between nocturnal desaturation and mortality.

Biomarkers.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

National Center for Neurological Disorders, Shanghai, Shanghai, China.

Background: The heart-brain connection has been proposed to correlate cardiac disorders with brain health. However, the associations between subclinical alterations in cardiac structure or function and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathologies haven't been fully elucidated. This study aimed to delineate the interrelationships between the subclinical alterations in the left heart, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers, and cognition.
