Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents the most common group of congenital anomalies, constitutes a significant contributor to the burden of non-communicable diseases, highlighting the critical need for improved risk assessment tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise in enhancing outcome predictions for congenital cardiac surgery. This study aims to systematically review the utilization of AI in predicting post-operative outcomes in this population.

Article Synopsis
  • Atrial fibrillation-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is characterized by a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) due to AF, but the reasons why some patients develop AIC are still unclear.* -
  • The study hypothesizes that subtle heart muscle issues exist before LVEF decreases; therefore, a detailed examination of heart function following successful catheter ablation is essential to identify these features.* -
  • Results show that out of 41 participants, 82.9% recovered LVEF post-ablation, yet many still had signs of heart dysfunction, with significant portions exhibiting elevated NT-proBNP levels, ongoing heart failure symptoms, and impaired heart performance despite normalization of LVEF.*

Rationale: Excessive daytime sleepiness, an important symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is commonly quantified using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS). Baseline OSA severity measures (ventilatory burden, flow limitation, and hypoxemia) provide insights into OSA pathophysiology and could predict changes in sleepiness (i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied children in Ireland admitted to pediatric ICU for COVID-19 or related conditions between January 2020 and August 2022 to understand illness severity and outcomes.
  • Out of 127 children, the majority had acute COVID-19 (68.5%) or Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome (30.7%), with those in the PIMS-TS group requiring more intensive cardiac support.
  • Despite the high incidence of cardiac issues during hospitalization, all patients survived and showed normal heart function upon discharge.

Since its emergence in 2019, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread worldwide and consumed public health resources. However, the world still has to address the burdens of other infectious diseases that continue to thrive. Countries in the tropics and neotropics, including Brazil, are affected by annual, cyclic dengue epidemics.
