Objectives: Cardiovascular complications are well known in humans with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), but limited data exist for cats. This study aimed to assess echocardiographic changes, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Persian cats with PKD to detect early cardiac abnormalities.

Methods: In total, 52 Persian and mixed-Persian cats were enrolled, with 26 cats in the control group and 26 diagnosed with PKD via ultrasound due to the unavailability of genetic testing.

Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been found in patients with autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD). However, the prognostic implications of some specific LGE patterns in ARD patients remain unclear.

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) subendocardium-involved LGE (LGEse) in a cohort of ARD patients.

Introduction: The aim of the observational SIMPLE study was to assess real-life effectiveness and safety of a single-pill combination (SPC) of perindopril arginine/amlodipine in a broad range of subjects with newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate hypertension treated in Canadian general practice.

Methods: Treatment-naïve participants aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate hypertension, whose physicians decided to initiate the perindopril/amlodipine SPC, were recruited from Canadian clinical practice from October 2017 to February 2019. Participants were followed at 3- (M3) and 6-month (M6) visits after treatment initiation.

Background: Kidney function loss or renal insufficiency indicated by elevated creatinine levels and/or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/minute/1.73 m² at presentation in patients with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is commonly seen as a poor prognostic marker for kidney survival. However, a pre>vious study from our center suggested this may be due to hemodynamic factors.

Introduction: A healthy young woman, age 26 without prior cardiac complications, experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF), which coincided with a fever. Comprehensive diagnostics including echo, CMR, exercise testing, and genetic sequencing, did not identify any potential cause. This led to the diagnosis of idiopathic VF and installment of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, which six months later appropriately intervened another VF episode under conditions comparable to the first event.
