Surgical Coronary Revascularization in Patients With Underlying Atrial Fibrillation: State-of-the-Art Review
The number of individuals referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported to be 8% to 20%. Atrial fibrillation is a known marker of high-risk patients as it was repeatedly found to negatively influence survival. Therefore, when performing surgical revascularization, consideration should be given to the concomitant treatment of the arrhythmia, the clinical consequences of the arrhythmia itself, and the selection of adequate surgical techniques.

Chagas Cardiomyopathy and Myocardial Sympathetic Denervation
AbstractPurpose of ReviewMore than a century since its discovery, the pathogenesis of Chagas heart disease (CHD) remains incompletely understood. The role of derangements in the autonomic control of the heart in triggering malignant arrhythmia before the appearance of contractile ventricular impairment was reviewed.Recent FindingsAlthough previous investigations had demonstrated the anatomical and functional consequences of parasympathetic dysautonomia upon the heart rate control, only recently, coronary microvascular disturbances and sympathetic denervation at the ventricular level have been reported in patients and exper...

The Dutch Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Registry: progress report on the quest to identify the unidentifiable
CONCLUSION: The Dutch iVF Registry is currently the largest of its kind worldwide. In this heterogeneous population of index patients, we aim to identify common functional denominators associated with iVF. With the implementation of non-invasive electrocardiographic imaging and other diagnostic modalities (e.g. echocardiographic deformation, cardiac magnetic resonance), we advance the possibilities to reveal pro-fibrillatory substrates.PMID:38653923 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-024-01870-y (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Surveillance Imaging and Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis after Advanced Heart Failure Therapies
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), an inflammatory disorder characterized by granulomatous inflammation, can manifest as heart failure (HF), ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction disease (1). Despite immunosuppression and medical therapy for HF, a subset of CS patients will progress to end-stage HF requiring left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy and/or heart transplantation (HT) which are associated with excellent outcomes (2, 3). The optimal surveillance strategy for monitoring CS recrudescence after advanced heart failure therapies remains undefined. (Source: The American Journal of Cardiology)

Prediction of severe ventricular arrhythmias in mitral valve prolapse patients by exercise ECG
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition (prevalence 2-3 %)1, with a good prognosis. However, some MVP patients experience severe ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Identifying patients at risk is challenging and evidence is sparse. The predictive role of exercise testing in MVP has not been investigated. We aimed to explore whether exercise ECG could predict subsequent severe VA in MVP patients. (Source: Heart Rhythm)

Clinico-haematobiochemical and cardiac alterations in Trypanosoma evansi infected buffaloes of Andhra Pradesh, India
AbstractThe present research aimed to document the incidence, clinical signs, haematological, and serum biochemical alterations, as well as electrocardiography and echocardiography findings in 62 buffaloes (selected from a total of 240) infected withTrypanosoma evansi. The study spanned one year, from January 2022 to December 2022. Morphological identification ofTrypanosoma evansi was done by the presence of a centrally positioned nucleus with a small sub-terminal kinetoplast at the posterior position through microscopic examination of Giemsa stained peripheral blood smears. The incidence of trypanosomosis were determined ...
