Spirituality-Based Intervention in Hypertension: EFfects on Blood PrEssure and EndotheliaL Function-FEEL Trial Results.
Glob Heart
January 2025
Spirituality and Cardiovascular Medicine Department, Brazilian Cardiology Society -DEMCA/SBC, Brasil.
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that spirituality improves patient outcomes, however, this has undergone only limited evaluation in randomized trials. Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Objectives: To evaluate whether a spirituality-based intervention, compared to a control group, can reduce blood pressure (BP) and improve endothelial function after 12 weeks in patients with mild or moderate hypertension (HTN).
Use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) to Assess Myocardial Perfusion and Territorial Distribution of Vein Grafts Implanted on Coronary Arteries in an Porcine Model. A Potential Adjunct to Assist Revascularization Strategies and Training in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Cardiac Surgery, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45202, USA.
Background: The fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) has been used to identify anatomical structures intraoperatively in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using ICG to assess graft patency and territorial distribution of myocardial reperfusion during CABG.
Methods: Porcine arrested hearts (n = 18) were used to evaluate territorial distribution of native coronary arteries and of a coronary bypass constructed with porcine saphenous vein graft (SVG) using ICG.
Integrating the GRACE Score with the Ceramide Risk Score Enhances the Predictive Accuracy of Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, 430060 Wuhan, Hubei, China.
Background: Ceramide, a key molecule in sphingolipid metabolism, is recognized as a standalone predictor of long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We explore if integrating the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) score with the ceramide risk score (ceramide test 1, CERT1) improves MACE prediction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: This cohort study included 210 participants with ACS undergoing PCI.
Recent Developments in Ventricular Assist Device Therapy.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Center for Preclinical Surgical & Interventional Research, The Texas Heart Institute, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
The evolution of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) from large, pulsatile systems to compact, continuous-flow pumps has significantly improved implantation outcomes and patient mobility. Minimally invasive surgical techniques have emerged that offer reduced morbidity and enhanced recovery for LVAD recipients. Innovations in wireless power transfer technologies aim to mitigate driveline-related complications, enhancing patient safety and quality of life.

January 2025
Department of Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Disease, State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Background: The role of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still in debate. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow on patients' recovery.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials comparing pulsatile and non-pulsatile flow in cardiac surgeries with CPB.
