Evaluation of analytical and clinical performance of the AFIAS Tn-I plus assay - a new point-of-care
CONCLUSION: The clinical performance of AFIAS Tn-I Plus assay for AMI is comparable to the established Abbott ALINITY STAT High Sensitive Troponin-I. This assay is suitable for routine use in clinical laboratories.PMID:38032250 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2286423 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

The effect of COVID-19 on the thromboembolic outcomes in atrial fibrillation patients in the long run
CONCLUSIONS: Having caught COVID-19 is likely to be associated with increased long-term thromboembolic outcomes in AF patients. Albeit the study design does not permit us to infer causality, our results question the necessity of more intensive anticoagulant therapy and closer follow-up in AF patients with past COVID-19.PMID:38032255 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2286421 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Long-term follow-up of patients undergoing add-on pacing/sensing lead vs. ICD lead implantation for failed IS-1/DF-1 ICD leads: a single centre experience
CONCLUSIONS: Addition of a PSL for IS-1/DF-1 ICD LF with normal high-voltage conductor measurements is a viable treatment option with similar long-term results to addition of a new ICD lead. This approach is potentially less costly, technically less demanding, and, in case of concomitant extraction procedure, associated with less acute complication risk.PMID:38032259 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2285550 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Which patients with coronary artery disease should include oral nitrates on their discharge medication list?
CONCLUSION: There was no association between oral nitrates included in the discharge medication list and the development of MACEs among patients with CAD after adjusting for some covariates, such as SYNTAX score. Oral nitrates after discharge for CAD patients combined with hypertension increased the occurrence of MACEs. Oral nitrates after discharge for CAD patients combined with low uric acid levels may increase theoccurrence of MACEs, and close monitoring for any adverse events is recommended.PMID:37961760 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2271763 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Systematic review of leadless pacemaker
Acta Cardiol. 2023 Nov 14:1-11. doi: 10.1080/00015385.2023.2276537. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConventional pacing systems consist of a pacemaker and one or more leads threaded from the device pocket through veins into the heart conducting the pacing therapy to the desired pacing site. Although these devices are effective, approximately one in eight patients treated with these traditional pacing systems experiences a complication attributed to the pacemaker pocket or leads. With the technological advances in electronics, leadless pacemakers that small enough to implant within the heart were introduced. Leadless pacemake...
