Article Synopsis
  • Catheter ablation of frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) has been shown to improve heart function, specifically left ventricular ejection fraction and diastolic function, but its effects on atrial electromechanical properties were previously unclear.
  • This study evaluated the short-term impacts of radiofrequency catheter ablation on atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) in patients with outflow tract PVCs.
  • Results indicated significant improvements in atrial EMD regardless of whether patients had normal or low ejection fractions, suggesting that the procedure benefits atrial function across different heart performance levels.

Sleep is an important modulator of cardiovascular function and is recognized to play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease. However, results of the studies investigating the relationship between sleep complaints and cardiovascular outcomes are still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with Framingham 10-year hard coronary heart disease (CHD) risk score in Turkish adults.

Aspirin is widely used for the prevention of thromboembolic diseases, but inhibition of platelet aggregation (PA) is not uniform. Additionally, aspirin has been shown to be ineffective in blunting PA in response to exercise in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Limited data exists about platelet function following acute exercise in diabetics taking aspirin.
