Fragmented QRS may be associated with complex ventricular arrhythmias in mitral valve prolapse.
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of fQRS may be associated with complex VAs in patients with MVP. Therefore, fQRS may be used in risk stratification of complex VAs in patients with MVP. PMID: 32138502 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Minerva Cardioangiologica)

Association of segmental T2 ratio and late gadolinium enhancement in patients with acute myocarditis: a feasibility study.
CONCLUSIONS: Segmental T2 ratio showed a good diagnostic accuracy in predicting the presence of LGE in patients with clinical suspicion of acute myocarditis and might be a promising approach in reducing scan times with no reduction in diagnostic accuracy.

Ultrasound-guided thrombin injections for arterial pseudoaneurysms: a 14-year study conducted at King Khalid University Hospital Vascular Lab.
CONCLUSIONS: Throughout the study period of 14 years, we did not encounter any procedural complications or arterial pseudoaneurysm recurrence. This is attributed to a safe procedural technique and proper patient selection. UGTI for arterial pseudoaneurysms is a safe, successful, and convenient treatment for both patients and surgeons.

Investigation of proper home blood pressure with atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation.
CONCLUSIONS: SBP should be strictly maintained at 110 mmHg after RFCA to minimize AF recurrence in patients with hypertension. Low SBP might be a risk factor for AF recurrence among patients without hypertension. PMID: 32107893 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Minerva Cardioangiologica)
