Clinical Introduction: An 82-year-old man with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery, hypertension and small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumour underwent cardiac risk evaluation prior to surgical resection of his tumour. He was asymptomatic from a cardiovascular perspective, but his activity level was less than four metabolic equivalents. Physical examination was notable for a 2/6 systolic murmur at the apex.

- A study examined adverse outcomes in 2,954 patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction receiving implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for primary prevention, focusing on the influence of sex and age on mortality and hospitalization rates.
- Results showed that women had lower risks for death and heart failure hospitalizations but higher complication rates compared to men, while those over 65 had increased risks of both death and heart failure hospitalizations.
- The findings highlight significant disparities in outcomes based on sex and age, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in treating patients receiving ICDs.

The management of an acute type A aortic dissection in the setting of peripheral vascular malperfusion is not well defined. Several institutions proceed with initial percutaneous intervention to restore end organ perfusion, followed by delayed operative repair of the type A dissection. This strategy is associated with high mortality rates from aortic rupture, myocardial infarction, and stroke.

Background: There is a paucity of data evaluating the effect of performing a concomitant cardiac procedure (CCP) on peri-operative survival in patients undergoing implantation of long-term left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The objective of this study was to review our single-institutional experience with patients who underwent a CCP during implantation of a long-term continuous-flow LVAD.
Methods: From March 2006 through June 2012, 130 patients underwent implantation of a LVAD.
