Iron deficiency in acute coronary syndromes: prevalence and prognostic impact.

Porto Biomed J

January 2025

Rua Camilo Castelo Branco, Cardiology Department, São Bernardo Hospital, Setúbal Hospital Centre, Setúbal, Portugal.

Introduction And Objectives: Iron deficiency (ID) is a well-known prognostic marker in heart failure (HF), independent of anemia. However, its impact in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) is not well established.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients admitted with ACS from January to December 2019.

: The risks of blood clot formation, stroke, heart failure (HF), and cardiovascular death are enhanced in individuals with atrial flutter (AFL). However, it remains unclear whether left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in individuals with AFL with anticoagulation enhances the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thus, in the current trial, we aimed to evaluate the predictive role of LAAT for cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with AFL who were receiving anticoagulation and admitted for electrical cardioversion.

: Natriuretic peptide (NP) levels have been proposed for characterization and risk stratification of heart failure (HF) among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, their role in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) has not been well studied and understood. The aim of this study was to assess phenotypical, functional characteristics and imaging parameters in relation to N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) values in T2DM patients without known CVD that may predispose to overt HF.

Prenatal Predictors and Early Postnatal Outcomes in Fetuses Diagnosed with Tricuspid Atresia.

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital, Department of Perinatology, Health Science University, Istanbul 34668, Turkey.

To assess the prenatal course and early postnatal outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and to identify predictors of survival. This was a retrospective study of 25 fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia in a single tertiary referral center, evaluating prenatal echocardiographic features and postnatal outcomes. A total of 4 of 29 initially diagnosed fetuses were excluded due to changes in diagnosis or loss to follow-up, leaving 25 fetuses for analysis.

The advancements in cardiovascular imaging over the past two decades have been significant. The miniaturization of ultrasound devices has greatly contributed to their widespread adoption in operating rooms and intensive care units. The integration of AI-enabled tools has further transformed the field by simplifying echocardiographic evaluations and enhancing the reproducibility of hemodynamic measurements, even for less experienced operators.
