Venous Doppler flow patterns, venous congestion, heart disease and renal dysfunction: A complex liaison
World J Cardiol. 2024 Jan 26;16(1):5-9. doi: 10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.5.ABSTRACTThe World Journal of Cardiology published an article written by Kuwahara et al that we take the pleasure to comment on. We focused our attention on venous congestion. In intensive care settings, it is now widely accepted that venous congestion is an important clinical feature worthy of investigation. Evaluating venous Doppler profile abnormalities at multiple sites could suggest adequate treatment and monitor its efficacy. Renal dysfunction could trigger or worsen fluid overload in heart disease, and cardio-renal syndrome is a well-characterized spec...

Safety and effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in cardiac surgery: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: NMES is safe, feasible and has beneficial effects on muscle strength and function in patients after cardiac surgery, but has no significant effect on functional capacity.PMID:38313389 | PMC:PMC10835467 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.27 (Source: World Journal of Cardiology)

Development of pulmonary hypertension remains a major hurdle to corrective surgery in Down syndrome
World J Cardiol. 2024 Jan 26;16(1):1-4. doi: 10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.1.ABSTRACTDown syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality encountered in clinical practice with 50% of them having associated congenital heart disease (CHD). Shunt lesions account for around 75% of all CHDs in Down syndrome. Down syndrome patients, especially with large shunts are particularly predisposed to early development of severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) compared with shunt lesions in general population. This necessitates timely surgical correction which remains the only viable option to prevent long term morbidity and mortality. However, des...

Unveiling the silent link: Normal-tension glaucoma's enigmatic bond with cardiac blood flow
World J Cardiol. 2024 Jan 26;16(1):10-15. doi: 10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.10.ABSTRACTThis comprehensive review embarks on a captivating journey into the complex relationship between cardiology and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), a condition that continues to baffle clinicians and researchers alike. NTG, characterized by optic nerve damage and visual field loss despite normal intraocular pressure, has long puzzled clinicians. One emerging perspective suggests that alterations in ocular blood flow, particularly within the optic nerve head, may play a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. While NTG shares commonalities with its high-tensi...

Left bundle branch pacing < em > vs < /em > biventricular pacing in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: A significant reduction in New York Heart Association class and B-type natriuretic peptide levels was also observed in the LBBP-CRT group vs BiVP-CRT group. Lastly, the LBBP-CRT cohort had a reduced pacing threshold at follow-up as compared to BiVP-CRT.PMID:38313392 | PMC:PMC10835470 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.40 (Source: World Journal of Cardiology)

Do changes in intracoronary pressure aid coronary spasm diagnosis using the spasm provocation test?
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that indices of intracoronary pressure during SPT may be useful means for predicting the occurrence of coronary spasms.PMID:38313387 | PMC:PMC10835468 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v16.i1.16 (Source: World Journal of Cardiology)
