We report the case of a 41-year-old human with third-degree atrioventricular block caused due to intoxication with water concoction prepared from Rhododendron leaves. Such poisoning is rare. It is prone to arrhythmia with hemodynamic instability and is confused with various diseases. For these reasons, the correct diagnosis and treatment of this poisoning are particularly important. We confirmed it by analyzing the remaining liquid carried by the family members. After symptomatic and supportive treatment, the patient was discharged uneventfully.

A rare phenomenon involving ventricular separation: a case report.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord

Department of Electrocardiology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, No.108 WansongRoad, Wenzhou, 325200, People's Republic of China.
Background: Ventricular separation is a multipart, extensive disease of the heart that hinders the electrical conduction of the cardiac system ventricular muscle, causing a bidirectional conduction block. The occurrence of ventricular separation suggests that the myocardium is in a state of severe ischemia, and the prognosis is generally poor. Herein, we present arescue case in which the extremely rare phenomenon of ventricular separation developed and was documented in realtime.

We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient who received palliative immunotherapy with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib as a treatment of pulmonary and osseous metastatic endometrial carcinoma. Under this therapy, the patient developed dysphagia, thyroiditis with hypothyroidism, myositis, and myocarditis, which required, due to third-degree AV block, the installation of a pacemaker. The patient received high-dose cortisone therapy, a thyroid hormone substitution, and pyridostigmine for symptom control.

November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently complicated by arrhythmias, plausibly leading to the increased risk of sudden cardiac death in this population. However, little is known about the association between CKD and third-degree atrioventricular block (3AVB) and need for permanent pacing.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between CKD and 3AVB.
Major adverse cardiovascular events after modified morrow surgery in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: A 12-year cohort study.
Int J Cardiol

Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China; Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of South China Structural Heart Disease, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:
Objective: This study investigates the incidence and risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) undergoing modified Morrow surgery. It also aims to develop a predictive model for MACE to improve clinical risk assessment.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 292 HOCM patients who underwent modified Morrow surgery.
Pulsed Field Ablation of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: A Prospective Multicenter Single-Arm Study in China.

Department of Cardiology (F.L., A.G., H.H., K.C., Q.Y., X.P., S.C., J.J., H.F., H.W., T.Y., X.H., Y.T., Q. Zhang, R.Z.), , West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu.
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has gained attention in cardiac electrophysiology, but data on its application to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia are limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of PFA and its combination with radiofrequency ablation for treating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, single-arm study was conducted across 8 centers in China.
