Unlabelled: The intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide during laparoscopic procedures is associated with an increase in mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. To evaluate the time course of the circulatory changes related to intraabdominal pressure variation, we used transesophageal echocardiography in 10 patients anesthetized for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Left ventricular dimensions, fractional area shortening (FAS), and left ventricular afterload assessed by the left ventricular end-systolic wall stress (LVESWS) were measured from echocardiographic data before insufflation, during pneumoperitoneum, and during exsufflation. Three minutes after the onset of pneumoperitoneum, we observed a 25.7% +/- 10.5% (mean +/- SD) increase in mean arterial pressure, a 49.1% +/- 14.4% increase in LVESWS, and a 17.0% +/- 16.2% decrease in FAS. All measured variables returned to preinsufflation values after 30 min of pneumoperitoneum and thereafter were no longer significantly affected by postural changes (10 degrees head-up position) or pneumoperitoneum exsufflation. We conclude that the circulatory changes associated with pneumoperitoneum are transient and are probably mediated by factors other than intraabdominal pressure variations.
Implications: Insufflation of gas into the abdominal cavity results in hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic procedures. We found that echocardiographic and blood pressure effects associated with gas insufflation were transient, indicating mediation by factors besides intraabdominal pressure.

Background: Sequential application of radiofrequency with pulsed field (PF) ablation may increase lesion depth while preserving the advantages of PF. The study's aim was to determine lesion dimensions of sequential, colocalized radiofrequency and PF ablation.
Methods: A preclinical study using swine (n=4) performed lesions in the right/left ventricles.

Objective: Recent studies have underscored the metabolic and cardiovascular regulatory capacity of perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), implicating its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This investigation aims to assess the relationship between increased PAT mass and LVH, while also examining the potential mediating role of insulin resistance in this relationship among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: 1112 individuals with T2DM were prospectively recruited for this study.

Background: This study investigates the feasibility and early outcomes of early myocardial reperfusion in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD), evaluating its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to traditional cardioplegic arrest techniques.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 168 patients diagnosed with TAAD who underwent surgery at the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command in China from January 2021 to July 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: early myocardial reperfusion (EMR group, = 66) and cardioplegic arrest (CA group, = 102).

Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.
Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Objective: Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) carries a high risk of embolic events due to structural changes in the left ventricle and frequent conduction disorders. However, there is limited data on anticoagulant prescription patterns and factors influencing the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in these patients. This study aims to characterize CCC patients based on the anticoagulant therapy received and identify factors associated with DOACs use.
