iPSC-Derived Biological Pacemaker-From Bench to Bedside.
Cells
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama 700-8558, Japan.
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived biological pacemakers have emerged as an alternative to traditional electronic pacemakers for managing cardiac arrhythmias. While effective, electronic pacemakers face challenges such as device failure, lead complications, and surgical risks, particularly in children. iPSC-derived pacemakers offer a promising solution by mimicking the sinoatrial node's natural pacemaking function, providing a more physiological approach to rhythm control.

Department of Cardiology, Glenfield Hospital, University Hospitals of Leicester, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a heart condition that mimics heart attacks and can be triggered by emotional or physical stress, including surgical procedures like pacemaker implantation.
- A case study presented a 62-year-old woman who developed TS after a left bundle branch area pacing procedure, showing significant heart dysfunction despite clear coronary arteries.
- The case highlights the need for clinicians to recognize that CSP procedures, although usually safe, can rarely lead to TS and emphasizes the importance of monitoring patients for such complications post-surgery.
Prominent Crista Terminalis Mimicking Right Atrial Thrombus in a Case of Permanent Pacemaker Implantation - Role of Two- and Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography.
J Cardiovasc Echogr
September 2024
Department of Cardiology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medial College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Article Synopsis
- Crista terminalis is a fibromuscular ridge in the right atrium that separates smooth and muscular regions, and when prominent, it can be mistaken for thrombus or tumors.
- Accurate differentiation between crista terminalis and other masses is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary anxiety for patients.
- The case highlights the use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to identify the unique features of a prominent crista terminalis.
Acute mesenteric ischemia secondary to complete AV block and acute systolic heart failure: a case report.
Int J Emerg Med
October 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, Mercy Health St. Rita's Medical Center, 730 W. Market Street, Lima, OH, 45801, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A 65-year-old male experienced sudden severe abdominal pain due to acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), linked to acute heart failure stemming from a complete heart block.
- Diagnostic tests revealed a blockage in the superior mesenteric artery and some coronary artery issues, leading to urgent surgery to restore blood flow.
- Post-surgery, the patient faced complications like heart failure and slow heart rate, ultimately requiring a pacemaker before being discharged in stable condition.
Case report of an ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction-like presentation of an immune checkpoint (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitor-associated myocarditis.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
September 2024
Department of Cardiology, General Hospital Sint-Jan, Ruddershove 10, 8000 Bruges, Belgium.
Background: ICI-associated myocarditis is a rare but severe and potentially life-threatening complication that typically manifests shortly after treatment initiation. It may present in many different ways, ranging from fulminant to non-fulminant, even including clinical and electrocardiographic findings mimicking ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
Case Summary: A 72-year-old woman with a history of non-small cell lung carcinoma presented at the emergency department with symptoms of general asthenia and chest pain, following recent ICI-therapy initiation.
