Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the long-term risk of damage to the right coronary artery (RCA) after patients undergo radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial flutter related to the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI).
  • A comparison was made between patients who had CTI RFA and those who only received ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), with coronary angiography performed afterward to evaluate any differences in RCA stenosis.
  • Results indicate that there were no significant differences in the incidence or severity of RCA stenoses between the two groups, suggesting that CTI RFA does not increase the risk of RCA damage in the long term.

Department of Ultrasound, Yangpu Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

Background: The recognition ability of right ventricular-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling for coronary artery lesions (CAL) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) has not been well characterized. This study aimed to determine whether RV-PA coupling is an independent the risk factors for CAL in children with KD.

Methods: Between October 2021 and August 2023, RV-PA coupling was assessed in 59 KD children using the ratio between echocardiographic tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP).

Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of studies focusing on adult patients classified as having SLE-related PAH by searching the electronic databases Embase, Medline, Medline in-progress, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Ichushi Web, Kmbase, and KoreaMed. Based on the findings, we conducted a Delphi survey to build expert consensus on issues related to screening for PAH in patients with SLE and on the importance and feasibility of measuring the identified factors in clinical practice.
