This systematic review sought to investigate the current evidence regarding surgical management of primary cardiac tumors in children. Twenty-four studies were deemed eligible, reporting on 713 pediatric patients. Cumulative 30-day mortality rate was 5.5% and 7.5% after surgery. It was revealed a statistically lower mortality rate in the group of patients below 1 year of age, justifying a more aggressive surgical approach for primary cardiac tumors, except for rhabdomyoma that can regress spontaneously.

Noncoding variants and sulcal patterns in congenital heart disease: Machine learning to predict functional impact.
iScience

Division of Newborn Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Neurodevelopmental impairments associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) may arise from perturbations in brain developmental pathways, including the formation of sulcal patterns. While genetic factors contribute to sulcal features, the association of noncoding variants (ncDNVs) with sulcal patterns in people with CHD remains poorly understood. Leveraging deep learning models, we examined the predicted impact of ncDNVs on gene regulatory signals.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been independently associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
Objectives: The authors examined the effect of monoclonal antibody proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9is) on plasma Lp(a) levels across multiple trials.
Methods: Studies were retrieved comparing the effect of PCSK9i vs placebo on Lp(a) levels.
The Hypertriglyceridemic Waist Phenotype is Associated with an Adverse Cardiometabolic Profile in this Cohort of Nigerians.

Department Of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria & Consultant Cardiologist, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria.
Background: The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype was introduced as a means of identifying individuals at risk of developing metabolic syndrome as well as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. However, studies surrounding the prevalence of the phenotype and its relationship with established markers of cardiometabolic risk, especially in the Nigerian population, remain sparse. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the HTGW phenotype and explore its relationship with cardiovascular risk markers, namely Castelli Risk Indices I and II (CRI-I and CRI-II), Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and serum triglyceride-HDL cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL).

Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.
Objective: This network meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of different drugs on cardiac function, renal function, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) accompanied by renal dysfunction.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched to screen all clinical trials of AHF between January 1st 2001 and March 31th 2024. The primary outcome measures were N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, all-cause mortality within 60 days, and cardiovascular mortality.
A comparison study of 90-day readmission and emergency department visitation after outpatient versus inpatient pediatric pollicization surgery.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute, Charlotte, NC, USA.
Introduction: Transition to outpatient surgery has grown with an emphasis on delivery of safe, high-quality medical care. The purpose of this study is to compare 90-day emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and complications between patients undergoing outpatient versus inpatient pollicization surgery.
Methods: A single institution database was queried for primary thumb pollicization from 2010 to 2022 in patients under 18 years of age.
