The clinical relevance of mild cognitive impairment in acute heart failure: A comparison with cognitive impairment
CONCLUSION: Even MCI had a significant risk of cardiac events in patients with acute decompensated HF. This risk was mainly derived from unplanned HF hospitalization.PMID:37684004 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.017 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Performance, safety, and biocompatibility of a novel PFO closure device in a long-term porcine model
CONCLUSIONS: In the standard porcine model, device retention and biocompatibility remained favorable following structural and functional device modifications exemplified by the second-generation PFO occluder from Encore Medical, including marked reduction of metal mass.PMID:37684005 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.09.001 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Impedance-guided modified CLOSE protocol ablation can reduce ablation index necessary for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Using additional generator impedance drop information may be useful to minimize radiofrequency current application to accomplish PVI with modified CLOSE protocol while maintaining efficacy and safety in Japanese AF population.PMID:37684006 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.09.002 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)

Investigating the seasonal variation of heart failure hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality risks in Japan using a nationwide database
CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant seasonal variation in HF hospitalizations in Japan. Peak admission rates occurred in January. However, the risk of death during hospitalization was higher in August, September, and October than that in January.PMID:37666321 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.014 (Source: Journal of Cardiology)
