Outcome of transcatheter atrial septal defect closure in a nationwide cohort
CONCLUSION: After TC closure of ASD, patients had a higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation and migraine than controls without ASD. As novel findings, we found an increased risk for ischemic heart disease, AV conduction disorders, and ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia.Key messagesEven though patients have an excellent overall prognosis after percutaneous ASD closure, the increased incidence of major comorbidities like atrial fibrillation and heart failure prompts more thorough lifelong follow-up.This study's novel findings revealed the increased risk for ischemic heart disease, AV conduction disorders, or ventricul...

Heartbeat: cardiovascular maternal health and disparities in clinical outcomes
Cardiovascular disease continues to account for a high proportion of pregnancy-related deaths in women in the USA. In addition to pre-existing heart disease, gestational hypertension and diabetes, as well as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes both in the short and long-term. In this issue of Heart, Marschner and colleagues1 report an incidence of cardiometabolic conditions (hypertensive disease and diabetes) of 224.3 (95% CI 221.3 to 227.3) per 1000 births among 74 510 women, mean age 26.4 years (SD 5.5) in a cross-sectional study of Medicare patients from ...

Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Arrhythmias of the Idiopathic Outflow Tract Ventricular: Age, Gender, Comorbidities, Laboratory Test Results, and Echocardiographic Parameters
CONCLUSIONS: The outflow tract served as the major original site of IVAs, and significant differences existed between participants in the LVOT and RVOT groups in age; gender; comorbidities; results of laboratory examinations, including red-blood-cell counts, hemoglobin, creatinine, and GGT; and echocardiographic parameters, including LVEF%, LAD, LVEDD, IVS, and LVPWT.PMID:35687704
