Beat-by-beat monitoring of hemodynamic parameters in the left ventricle contributes to the early diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, valvular heart disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Current accurate measurement methods for ventricular hemodynamic parameters are inconvenient for monitoring hemodynamic indexes in daily life. The objective of this study is to propose a method for estimating intraventricular hemodynamic parameters in a beat-to-beat style based on non-invasive PCG (phonocardiogram) and PPG (photoplethysmography) signals.

Background: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, professionals in charge of particularly vulnerable populations, such as adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients, were confronted with difficult decision-making. We aimed to assess changes in risk stratification and outcomes of ACHD patients suffering from COVID-19 between March 2020 and April 2021.
Methods And Results: Risk stratification among ACHD experts (before and after the first outcome data were available) was assessed by means of questionnaires.

Left atrial structural, functional and electrical remodelling are linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) pathophysiology and mirror the phrase " A structurally remodelled left atrium (LA) is fibrotic, dysfunctional and enlarged. Fibrosis is the hallmark of LA structural remodelling and is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure development and/or progression and poorer catheter ablation outcomes with increased recurrence rates. Moreover, increased atrial fibrosis has been associated with higher rates of stroke even in sinus-rhythm individuals.

We present a case of a unique complication of enterococcus endocarditis in an elderly man with a cardiac pacemaker who presented with low-grade fever and cough. He had no history of IV drug use. Blood cultures were positive for Enterococcus faecalis, Both trans-thoracic echo and trans-esophageal echo showed vegetation on the aortic valve.
