Clonal Hematopoiesis Is Associated With Adverse Clinical Outcomes and Left Ventricular Remodeling in Aortic Stenosis.
JACC Adv
February 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been linked to intensified systemic inflammation and represents a novel risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, including aortic stenosis (AS).
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical impact of CHIP in a cohort of severe AS patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: We enrolled 110 severe AS patients in this retrospective study.
Significance of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels in lung cancer.
Monaldi Arch Chest Dis
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Izmir City Hospital, Izmir.
High blood levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have been shown in various malignancies. In lung cancer, the importance of NT-proBNP is not clear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the significance of the correlation of NT-proBNP levels in lung cancer with tumor stage, tumor diameter, histopathology, and specific sites of mediastinal metastasis: lymphadenopathy; pericardial, cardiac, major vessel, other mediastinal organ or lymphatic involvement/invasion.

Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc
February 2025
Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, West German Heart and Vascular Center, University Hospital Essen, Germany.
Background And Aims: Cardiotoxicity from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is a challenge in clinical practice, and the assessment of ICI-related myocarditis (ICI-M) is often complicated by a variable phenotype. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is used frequently, but evidence is poor. Here, we aim to assess the role of CMR in the assessment of suspected ICI-M in a real-world clinical setting.

Malawi Med J
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics, College of Medicine, University of Nigeria Ituku/Ozalla and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku/Ozalla, Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria.
Background: Children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) usually present with right heart abnormalities, however much is not known if these children presents with left ventricular dysfunction.
Objectives: This article is aimed to ascertain the left ventricular function of children with TOF compared with those without any congenital heart disease. It also elicits the correlation if any, between left ventricular mass and descending aorta blood flow.
Predictive value of CT-based and AI-reconstructed 3D-TAPSE in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Clinic for General and Interventional Cardiology/Angiology, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum, NRW, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Medizinische Fakultät OWL (Universität Bielefeld), Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
Background: The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) assessed by echocardiography has failed in predicting outcomes in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI). Considering the complex shape of the tricuspid annulus and right ventricle, as well as the difficult echocardiographic image acquisition of the right heart, cardiac computed tomography (CT) might be superior for the analysis of the annular excursion. Thus, this study aimed to analyze whether CT-captured TAPSE provides additional value in predicting outcomes after TTVI.
