Prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy in invasively treated acute coronary syndrome patients with different lipoprotein(a) concentrations
CONCLUSIONS: This study firstly demonstrated that extended DAPT (> 1 year) was statistically associated with lower risk of ischemic events in ACS patients with elevated Lp(a) levels after PCI, whereas this association was not found in individuals with normal Lp(a) levels.PMID:37853822 | DOI:10.5603/cj.93062 (Source: Cardiology Journal)

Right superior pulmonary vein parameter determined by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography is an independent predictor of the outcome after cryoballoon isolation of the pulmonary veins
CONCLUSIONS: Right superior PV b measured with 3DTEE might be a significant predictor of AR after PV isolation with the CBG2. In case of RSPV b exceeding 28 mm, alternative PV isolation techniques or use of a larger balloon might be considered.PMID:37853823 | DOI:10.5603/cj.95381 (Source: Cardiology Journal)

Intravenous iron supplementation improves energy metabolism of exercising skeletal muscles without effect on either oxidative stress or inflammation in male patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous iron supplementation in iron deficient men with HFrEF improves the functioning of skeletal muscles via an improvement in energy metabolism in exercising skeletal muscles, limiting the contribution of anaerobic reactions generating ATP as reflected by a lower in vivo lactate production in exercising muscles in patients with repleted iron stores.PMID:37853824 | DOI:10.5603/cj.97253 (Source: Cardiology Journal)

Coronary laser with simultaneous contrast injection for the treatment of stent underexpansion
CONCLUSIONS: Coronary laser with simultaneous contrast injection is a safe method to optimize a stent underexpansion, with an acceptable event-free rate in long-term follow-up.PMID:37853825 | DOI:10.5603/cj.96438 (Source: Cardiology Journal)

Association between cognitive impairment and risk of atrial fibrillation: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study
CONCLUSION: S: : Cognitive decline is significantly associated with a higher risk of AF, with atrial remodeling being a potential mechanism. Our results extend previous findings of the brain-heart axis and indicate the effects of cognitive injury on cardiac function and structure.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; unique identifier: NCT00005131.PMID:37853826 | DOI:10.5603/cj.93107 (Source: Cardiology Journal)
