Can aortic valve calcium score predict a need for permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Open Heart
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Inserm U1096, Univ Rouen Normandie, CHU Rouen, Rouen, France
Introduction: Conductive disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation remain a major concern after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aims: To assess the impact of aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) on conductive disturbances requiring PPM after TAVI.
Methods: All patients who underwent TAVI with accessible AVCS from the preprocedural CT scan report were included in this retrospective single-centre study.
Assessment of bystander coronary artery disease in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients using noncoronary-dedicated planning computed tomography angiography (CTA): diagnostic accuracy in a retrospective real-world cohort.

Department of Radiology, Division of General Radiology, Medical University of Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 9, 8036 Graz, Austria; Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Wiener Neustadt, Corvinusring 3-5, 2700 Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
Aim: To assess the diagnostic potential of a noncoronary-dedicated pre-TAVR CT angiography (CTA) conducted as a prospective ECG-gated scan without premedication and standard cardiac reconstructions in evaluating bystander coronary artery disease (CAD) against invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 232 patients who underwent both CTA and ICA as part of their pre-TAVR evaluation. Exclusion criteria included prior stent, pacemaker, coronary artery bypass, or valve surgery.
Influence of radiotherapy on cardiac implantable devices and leads-a single-institution analysis and critical evaluation of current guidelines.

Purpose: Increasing life expectancy and advances in cancer treatment will lead to more patients needing both radiation therapy (RT) and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). CIEDs, including pacemakers and defibrillators, are essential for managing cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. Telemetric monitoring of CIEDs checks battery status, lead function, settings, and diagnostic data, thereby identifying software deviations or damage.

Background: This large-scale study analyzes factors affecting diagnostic accuracy of low-dose myocardial perfusion imaging and correlation with coronary angiography in a real-world practice.
Methods: We compared data extracted from routine reports of (i) low-dose [Tc]sestamibi stress-MPI performed with no attenuation correction and predominantly exercise stress testing and (ii) the corresponding coronary angiography.
Results: We considered 1070 pairs of coronary angiography/stress-MPI results reported by 11 physicians.
Modelling pacemaker oscillations in lymphatic muscle cells: lengthened action potentials by two distinct system effects.

Lymphatic system failures contribute to cardiovascular and various other diseases. A critical function of the lymphatic vascular system is the active pumping of fluid from the interstitium back into the blood circulation by periodic contractions of lymphatic muscle cells (LMCs) in the vessel walls. As in cardiac pacemaking, these periodic contractions can be interpreted as occurring due to linked pacemaker oscillations in the LMC membrane potential (M-clock) and calcium concentration (C-clock).
