2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronisation therapy : Statement of endorsement by the NVVC.
Neth Heart J
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has updated its guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronisation. As the majority are class II recommendations (61%) and based on expert opinion (59%), a critical appraisal for the Dutch situation was warranted. A working group has been established, consisting of specialists in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, geriatrics, allied professionals in cardiac pacing, and patient organisations with support from the Knowledge Institute of the Dutch Association of Medical Specialists.

This study aimed to evaluate the visualization of right adrenal vein (RAV) in non-contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and its guiding role for right adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). A total of 237 patients diagnosed with PA who underwent successful AVS procedures from January 2020 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The non-contrast-enhanced MDCT image features of RAV included the degree of visualization and the position of RAV orifice.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Gunma, Japan.
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.
Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.
Intraoperative Myocardial Infarction During Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treating symptomatic cholelithiasis due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery, but it is not without risks. A key component of this procedure is the creation of pneumoperitoneum. This is achieved by insufflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cardiology, Avicenna Military Hospital, Marrakesh, MAR.
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, poses challenges in predicting thromboembolic risk. While the CHADS-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years (doubled), type 2 diabetes mellitus, previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, or thromboembolism (doubled), vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category) score remains essential, its limitations include failure to identify left atrial (LA) thrombus in some patients. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides superior detection of LA thrombi and thrombogenic factors compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), improving risk stratification, especially in intermediate-risk groups.
