Cardiac arrhythmias are one of the most common disorders with high morbidity and mortality. The effect of cardiac arrhythmias on the brain is very pronounced due to the high sensitivity of the brain to oxygen and blood supply. This mortality is preventable by early diagnosis and treatment which improves the patient's quality of life. Intervening at the right time, post arrhythmia is significant in preventing deaths and improving patient outcomes. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms are studied for the brain-axis implications, that have the potential to be targeted by novel therapies. In this review, we describe the pathophysiological mechanisms and recent advances in detail to understand the functional aspects of the brain-heart axis and neurological implications post-stroke, caused by cardiac disorders. This paper aims to discuss the current literature on the neurological consequences of cardiac arrhythmias and delve into a deeper understanding of the brain-heart axis, imbalances, and decline, with the aim of summarizing everything and all about the neurological consequences of cardiac arrhythmias.

Arrhythmias are a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI) and increase patient mortality. How insult to the cardiac conduction system causes arrhythmias following MI is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate conduction system restoration during neonatal mouse heart regeneration versus pathological remodeling at non-regenerative stages.

Implantable systems with chronic stability, high sensing performance, and extensive spatial-temporal resolution are a growing focus for monitoring and treating several diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, and cardiac arrhythmias. These systems demand exceptional bendability, scalable size, durable electrode materials, and well-encapsulated metal interconnects. However, existing chronic implantable bioelectronic systems largely rely on materials prone to corrosion in biofluids, such as silicon nanomembranes or metals.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the optimal post-left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) anticoagulation strategy, focusing on minimizing device-related thrombosis (DRT) and thromboembolism (TE) events without increasing bleeding risk. After successful LAAC, consecutive participants were treated with 45-day anticoagulants (rivaroxaban 15 mg daily, dabigatran 110 mg twice a day, and warfarin). The efficacy endpoints included DRT, TE, and hospital readmissions due to cardiac caused, while safety endpoints encompassed bleeding events, monitored over a 12-month follow-up period.

Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide, including in Syria, and the third-leading cause of death and disability combined. With approximately 90% of strokes worldwide linked to modifiable risk factors, identifying and quantifying these factors within a specific population is essential for effective prevention. This is the first study to investigate primary risk factors for stroke in Syria.

To broaden our understanding of bradyarrhythmias and conduction disease, we performed common variant genome-wide association analyses in up to 1.3 million individuals and rare variant burden testing in 460,000 individuals for sinus node dysfunction (SND), distal conduction disease (DCD) and pacemaker (PM) implantation. We identified 13, 31 and 21 common variant loci for SND, DCD and PM, respectively.
