AI Article Synopsis
- Knowledge of the left atrium (LA) and its role in heart failure (HF) is gaining importance in both clinical practice and research.
- While many studies concentrate on the left ventricle, there's a growing recognition of the need to study the structural and functional changes in the LA.
- New devices are being developed to directly measure left atrial pressure (LAP), aiming to improve HF treatment by helping to lower LAP.
Article Abstract
Comprehensive knowledge of the left atrium (LA) and its pathophysiology has emerged as an important clinical and research focus in the heart failure (HF) arena. Although studies on HF focusing on investigating left ventricular remodeling are numerous, those on atrial structural and functional changes have received comparatively less attention. Studies on LA remodeling have recently received increasing attention, and LA pressure (LAP) has become a novel target for advanced monitoring and is a potential therapeutic approach for treating HF. Various devices specifically designed for the direct measurement of LAP have been developed to optimize HF treatment by reducing LAP. This review focuses on LA hemodynamic monitoring and effective LAP decompression.

Malignant tumors are among the major diseases threatening human survival in the world, and advancements in medical technology have led to a steady increase in their detection rates worldwide. Despite unique clinical presentations across the spectrum of malignancies, treatment modalities generally adhere to common strategies, encompassing primarily surgical intervention, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted treatments. Uncovering the genetic elements contributing to cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance remains a pivotal pursuit in the development of novel targeted therapeutics.

Cardiomyocytes can be implanted to remuscularize the failing heart. Challenges include sufficient cardiomyocyte retention for a sustainable therapeutic impact without intolerable side effects, such as arrhythmia and tumour growth. We investigated the hypothesis that epicardial engineered heart muscle (EHM) allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and stromal cells structurally and functionally remuscularize the chronically failing heart without limiting side effects in rhesus macaques.

Background: Assessing the relative performance of machine learning (ML) methods and conventional statistical methods in predicting prognosis in heart failure (HF) still remains a challenging research field.
Methods: The primary outcome was three-year mortality. The following 5 machine learning approaches were used for modeling: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine, and Multilayer perceptron.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains one of the most common causes for cardiogenic shock (CS), with high inpatient mortality (40-50 %). Studies have reported the use of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) in decompensated heart failure, but contemporary data on their use to guide management of AMI-CS and in different SCAI stages of CS are lacking. We investigated the association of PACs and clinical outcomes in AMI-CS.
