DACT1 Involvement in the Cytoskeletal Arrangement of Cardiomyocytes in Atrial Fibrillation by Regulating Cx43
Conclusion: DACT1 proved to be a novel AF-related gene by regulating Cx43 via cytoskeletal organization induced by β -catenin accumulation in cardiomyocytes. DACT1 could thus serve as a potential therapeutic marker for AF. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)

QT Dispersion Changes after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Aortic Stenosis
Conclusion: Increased QT dispersion is associated with severe symptomatic AS. After TAVI, QT dispersion reduces. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)

Impact of Lung Expansion Therapy Using Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Submitted to Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Conclusion: It is concluded that high levels of PEEP (15 cmH2O) are beneficial for the improvement of gas exchange in patients undergoing CABG. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)

Association of Platelet to Lymphocyte and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratios with In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Type A Acute Aortic Dissection
Conclusion: Admission NLR and PLR levels were important risk factors and independently associated with in-hospital mortality of type A AAD patients. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)

Long-Term Assessment of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Mitral Regurgitation Following Takeuchi Repair
Conclusion: Although some centers prefer to direct implantation in A LCAPA, Takeuchi procedure can be accepted as a reliable method that provides satisfactory long-term results, considering that it aids to improve left ventricle ejection fraction and reduced mitral valve regurgitation.

Effect of Simulated Geomagnetic Activity on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Conclusion: Our data suggest that geomagnetic activity is important in regulating myocardial reperfusion injury. The geomagnetic shielding has a protective effect on myocardial injury, and the geomagnetic radiation is a risk factor for aggravating the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Comparison of Sharp Dissection, Electrocautery, and Ultrasonic Activated Scalpel with Regard to Endothelial Damage, Preparation Time, and Postoperative Bleeding During Radial Artery Harvesting
Conclusion: Use of ultrasonic cautery during RA preparation considerably reduces the preparation time and postoperative drainage amount. However, the superiority of one method over the others could not be demonstrated when the presence of endothelial damage with both biochemical and histopathological evaluations was considered.

Change in Functional Moderate Mitral Regurgitation after Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusion: This study supports the belief that aortic outflow tract obstruction and an actual mechanical compression of the anterior mitral annulus after AVR would cause reduction in MR. Ventricular remodeling would also cause reduction in MR with time going on. Patients with AS, especially young patients with moderate MR, were most likely to benefit from AVR in early time.

Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusions in Coronary Arteries According to Three Therapeutic Strategies: A Meta-analysis with 6985 Patients from 8 Published Observational Studies
Conclusions: PCI or CABG was associated with better clinical outcome in patients with CTO than MT. PCI is not better than CABG in decreasing mortality, MI, cardiac death, and MACE in coronary CTO patients. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)

Botulinum Toxin Injection into Epicardial Fat Pads: A Promising Potential Modality for Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
Abstract Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cardiac malformation. Many cases are incidentally diagnosed in aortic surgeries or autopsies and it usually appears as an isolated anomaly. The most widely classification used is the one by Hurwitz and Roberts[1], which divides 7 alphabetical subtypes based on the cusps size. The aim of this report is to describe three different anatomic presentations of this rare aortic valve anomaly. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular)
