The case of the furtive finding: atypical atrial flutter
A patient’s arrhythmia was identified only after an electrocardiogram (ECG) lead was attached directly to an atrial epicardial lead. The 87-year-old man had a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, and severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and was admitted for corrective cardiac surgery. His history included a cardioembolic stroke 10 months prior to admission, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to the right coronary artery, bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annulus repair, and a maze cryoablation or cryomaze procedure.

Quantitative computed tomography of pulmonary emphysema and ventricular function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with pulmonary hypertension.
CONCLUSION: The study revealed that percent emphysema is correlated with RV dysfunction among COPD patients with PH. Based on our findings, percent emphysema can be considered for use as an indicator to predict the severity of right ventricular dysfunction among COPD patients.

Recurrent coronary vasospasm-induced acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiac arrest
We report a case of a 62-year-old male patient who was transferred to the emergency department after a successfully resuscitated cardiac arrest. He presented with persistent retrosternal chest pain. In the electrocardiogram ST-segment elevations and negative T waves in precardial leads were found (Fig. 1). The patient was current smoker, with a history of previous stroke and arterial hypertension. During emergency angiography, critical stenosis within the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery was found (Fig. 2A).

Interaction of Blood Pressure and Body Mass Index With Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation in a Japanese Urban Cohort: The Suita Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Systolic prehypertension and overweight are associated with incident AF in Japanese population. The association between SBP and AF may be evident by overweight.

Abstract 136: Impact of Abnormal Ventricular Conduction on TAVR Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Despite association with decreased ejection fraction and lower aortic valve gradient, electrocardiographic conduction delays do not lead to inferior TAVR outcomes.

Upstream therapeutic strategies of Valsartan and Fluvastatin on Hypertensive patients with non-permanent Atrial Fibrillation (VF-HT-AF): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
This study was designed to examine whether valsartan or fluvastatin can reduce the risk of non-permanent AF in patients with hypertension.Methods/designThe VF-HT-AF study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, four-arm parallel group study with comparative evaluation of valsartan and fluvastatin as upstream therapies for the treatment of non-permanent AF complicated by hypertension. The primary outcome measure is change in the development of paroxysmal AF into persistent or permanent AF, the development of persistent AF to permanent AF, and change in incidence of overall and persistent AF recurrence, as evaluated by 7-d...

Adherence of doctors to a clinical guideline for hypertension in Bojanala district, North-West Province, South Africa.
CONCLUSION: Overall adherence of doctors to treatment guidelines for hypertension was found to be low (51.9%). Low adherence rates were related to age (older doctors) and less clinical experience, and differed with regard to various aspects of the guidelines.

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation and Relationship With Cardiovascular Events, Heart Failure, and Mortality A Community-Based Study From the Netherlands
This study investigated the incidence of AF in a contemporary cohort in the Netherlands, together with comorbidities associated with AF and associations of AF with cardiovascular outcomes.MethodsIncident AF was ascertained for hospital and study electrocardiograms in 8,265 participants of the PREVEND (Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease) study in Groningen, the Netherlands.ResultsDuring 9.7 ± 2.3 years of follow-up, 265 participants developed AF, with a resulting overall AF incidence of 3.3 per 1,000 person-years. Advancing age, male sex, antihypertensive drug use, higher body mass index, previous myocardia...

Hypertensive Target Organ Damage and Longitudinal Changes in Brain Structure and Function: The Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease-Magnetic Resonance Study Cognitive Decline and Blood Pressure
We examined the association of hypertensive target organ damage with longitudinal changes in brain structure and function within the Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease–Magnetic Resonance (SMART-MR) study. Renal function, albuminuria, and left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography were measured in 663 patients with manifest arterial disease (mean age, 57±9 years; 81% men). Automated brain segmentation was used to quantify progression of global brain atrophy (change in brain parenchymal fraction) and progression of cerebral small vessel disease on 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging, and memory and e...

Haemodynamic Responses to Selective Vagal Nerve Stimulation under Enalapril Medication in Rats
by Mortimer Gierthmuehlen, Thomas Stieglitz, Josef Zentner, Dennis T. T. Plachta
Selective vagal nerve stimulation (sVNS) has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure (BP) in rats without causing major side effects. This method might be adapted for the treatment of therapy-resistant hypertension in patients. Converting enzyme inhibitors (CEIs) are among the first drugs that are administered for arterial hypertension and prominently reduce BP primarily by interacting with the renin-angiotensin system of the kidneys. Beyond the reduction of BP, CEI have a positive effect on the survival rate after myocardial infarction; th...
