Lower Oral Anticoagulant Prescribing for Atrial Fibrillation in Women Compared With Men
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic stroke.1 Stroke risk in AF varies greatly with age, gender, and co-morbidities. CHADS2VASc score2 is a commonly used to predict the annual risk of stroke and is calculated by adding 1 point each for the presence of congestive heart failure, hypertension, age>65 and (Source: The American Journal of Cardiology)

Circulating exosome long non-coding RNAs are associated with atrial structural remodeling by increasing systemic inflammation in atrial fibrillation patients
CONCLUSION: Our study provides the transcriptome profile revealing pattern of circulating exosome lncRNAs in atrial structural remodeling, which bring valuable insights into improving prognosis and therapeutic targets for AF.PMID:38525437 | PMC:PMC10956728 | DOI:10.2478/jtim-2023-0129 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Impact of Abnormal Potassium on Arrhythmia Risk During Pediatric Digoxin Therapy
AbstractDigoxin is used in children with heart failure and tachyarrhythmia. Its use in patients with single ventricle anatomy has increased following evidence of improved interstage survival after the Norwood procedure. Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic window and may alter serum potassium balance, inducing arrhythmias. We hypothesized digoxin use in the setting of abnormal serum potassium levels is associated with arrhythmias. We reviewed all patients ≤ 18 years who received digoxin while admitted at our institution from 2014 to 2021. Admissions < 2 nights were excluded. We compared patients with a hemodyna...

Case Illustration of the Natural History of Left Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
Conclusion: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy manifests as a spectrum of disease processes that involve the right, left, or both ventricles. Mutations in the desmoplakin gene are often associated with a left dominant ventricular cardiomyopathy. Diagnosis remains difficult as the condition has no signature clinical presentation, and imaging findings are variable.PMID:38510230 | PMC:PMC10949047 | DOI:10.31486/toj.23.0057 (Source: Ochsner Journal)
