Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are common in patients with Infiltrative heart diseases. This review discusses ablative techniques for arrhythmias in amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, and glycogen storage disorders, primarily focusing on atrial fibrillation (AF). A thorough literature review was conducted on the MEDLINE database to synthesize current knowledge and propose future research directions.

This article is an abridged version of the updated AWMF mould guideline "Medical clinical diagnostics in case of indoor mould exposure - Update 2023", presented in July 2023 by the German Society of Hygiene, Environmental Medicine and Preventive Medicine (Gesellschaft für Hygiene, Umweltmedizin und Präventivmedizin, GHUP), in collaboration with German and Austrian scientific medical societies, and experts. Indoor mould growth is a potential health risk, even if a quantitative and/or causal relationship between the occurrence of individual mould species and health problems has yet to be established. There is no evidence for a causal relationship between moisture/mould damage and human diseases, mainly because of the ubiquitous presence of fungi and hitherto inadequate diagnostic methods.

Genomic Profiling for Predictive Treatment Strategies in Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease.

Biomedicines

June 2024

UOC Pneumotisiologia Federico II, A.O.R.N. Monaldi-Cotugno-CTO Piazzale Ettore Ruggieri, 80131 Napoli, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is commonly seen as the main type of progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f-ILD), but other forms can also show a similar progressive pattern.
  • Using genomic signatures in clinical settings for f-ILD patients may help identify those at high risk for progression and improve personalized treatment.
  • The review highlights ongoing research in IPF and other pulmonary fibrosis types linked to immune disorders, and discusses future research directions in understanding these diseases better.

Rationale Sarcoidosis with cardiac involvement can be associated with serious life-threatening arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) have been used for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Post-ICD placement complications have been shown to be higher in patients with CS.

Imaging Features of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathies.

Radiographics

April 2024

From the Department of Radiology (M.S.G., A.K.A., W.R.T., P.P.A.) and Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine (E.D.S., A.S.H., A.M.A.S., C.M.), Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan, 1500 E Medical Center Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.

Article Synopsis
  • * While initially thought to primarily affect the right ventricle, ACM can also impact the left ventricle or both ventricles, leading to changes in diagnostic criteria due to evolving understanding of the disease.
  • * The updated Padua criteria enhance diagnosis by including modern imaging techniques like cardiac MRI and recognizing features such as ventricular dilation and tissue characterization, while considering other conditions that could mimic ACM, especially in right-dominant and left-dominant phenotypes.
