Interatrial block is an independent risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Klinikum Nürnberg, Paracelsus Medical University, Nuremberg, Germany.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between interatrial conduction block and postoperative atrial fibrillation, which can precipitate acute cardiopulmonary instability and is associated with subsequent heart failure, stroke, and mortality following cardiac surgery.
Methods: Perioperative 12-channel electrocardiograms from 3405 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization, valve surgery, aortic surgery, or combinations thereof, were considered. Clinical and electrographic parameters were compared between patients with and without atrial fibrillation, and significant variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Unicuspid unicommissural aortic valves: A surgical pathology analysis.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol
January 2025
Department of Pathology (Cardiovascular and Thoracic Division), Seth GS Medical College Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
The unicuspid unicommisural aortic valve is an uncommon congenital malformation that often manifests as stenosis with or without regurgitation in adults in their third to fifth decades of life. This report characterizes the morphological features of surgically excised unicuspid valves in adults with clinical correlation. Among the surgically excised aortic valves over a period of 10 years, the clinical data and morphological features of unicuspid aortic valves were analyzed.

Arch Public Health
January 2025
Department of Nephrology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Background: This study aims to assess the global burden and trends in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) prevalence, stratified by sociodemographic index (SDI) categories and age groups, across 204 countries and territories.
Methods: Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, this study analyzed trends in the age-standardized prevalence rate of overall and type-specific CVDs, including rheumatic heart disease, ischemic heart disease, stroke, hypertensive heart disease, non-rheumatic valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis, atrial fibrillation and flutter, peripheral artery disease, endocarditis, and other cardiovascular and circulatory diseases. Age-standardized prevalence rates were stratified by SDI categories (low, low-middle, middle, high-middle, and high) and age groups (0-14, 15-49, 50-69, and ≥ 70 years).
The role of resistin and adiponectin ratios with uric acid in assessing metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetes.
Mol Cell Biochem
January 2025
International Society of Engineering Science and Technology, Nottingham, UK.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing global healthcare burden. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more likely to acquire MetS than the general population. Recent research suggests that the interaction of adipose tissue products, such as adiponectin resistin and uric acid, is essential in MetS onset.

Background This research examines mortality patterns and the place of death in individuals with chronic rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in the United States, aiming to identify demographic predictors for home or hospice death. Additionally, the study aims to uncover trends in mortality due to RHD and provide a predictive forecast. Methods The study utilized data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database, which spans 22 years (1999-2020), and was categorized based on place of death, including home or hospice care, inpatient, outpatient, or emergency room deaths, and nursing home facility deaths.
