Clinical significance of platelet reactivity during prasugrel therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to treat AMI patients with prasugrel. HTPR is a significant independent risk factor for adverse events in AMI patients receiving prasugrel after primary PCI. PMID: 27836373 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A congenital diverticulum of the left ventricular apex manifested by stroke and recurrent ventricular tachycardia
Left ventricular (LV) outpouchings include acquired pathologies comprising ventricular aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm and congenital abnormality ventricular diverticulum (CVD) [1 –3]. CVD is a rare cardiac malformation consisting of a localized protrusion from the free wall of the LV. Although it is often associated with other cardiac and extracardiac congenital anomalies, it may also present alone, as an incidental finding in adult patients. Although very rare, CVD may be associated with significant morbidity and even mortality.

Levitronix bilateral ventricular assist device, a bridge to recovery in a patient with acute fulminant myocarditis and concomitant cerebellar infarction.
We report on the case of a 27-year-old male who presented to our emergency room with chest tightness, dyspnoea and cold sweats. The 12-lead electrocardiogram showed diffuse ventricular tachycardia with wide QRS complexes. Troponin-I level was elevated to 100 ng/ml. The coronary angiogram showed good patency of all three coronary vessels, and acute fulminant myocarditis was suspected. The patient underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the catheter room and high-dose inotropic support was initiated to stabilise his haemodynamic status. After resuscitation, the patient was in a coma and acute stroke was highly suspected. ...

Safety and Efficacy of Intracoronary Infusion of Allogeneic Human Cardiac Stem Cells in Patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Left Ventricular Dysfunction: A Multicenter Randomized, Double-Blind and Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Conclusions: Allogeneic cardiac stem cells can be safely administered in STEMI patients with LV dysfunction early after revascularization. Low immunogenicity and absence of immune-mediated events will facilitate adequately powered studies to demonstrate their clinical efficacy in this setting.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT 02439398.

The heart in m.3243A > G carriers.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac involvement in m.3243A>G carriers has been only rarely systematically studied, which is perhaps why the incidence of cardiac diseases in MELAS is lower than would be expected. Myocardial abnormalities are much more frequent than arrhythmias or conduction defects. All symptomatic and asymptomatic m.3243A>G carriers should be systematically investigated for cardiac disease.

Risk stratification and clinical outcomes after surgical pulmonary valve replacement
ConclusionPatients undergoing PVR at larger RV volumes had similar survival but more overall CAE. A larger study population with a longer follow-up will be required to determine if early PVR provides survival benefit in the long-term.

Clinical characteristics and outcome of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the Saudi population – A single cardiac center experience
ConclusionThe HCM population in our Center is young, predominantly male with largely reverse curvatum morphology and mitral regurgitation observed in half of the cases. A country-wide registry is warranted to further explore HCM phenotypes in the Saudi population.

Sex-specific Cardiac Phenotype and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
ConclusionsOur results suggest that sex-specific differences in LV geometry, hyper-contractility and diastolic function, not greater degree of LV myopathy, contribute to a higher, age-independent risk of diastolic HF in women with HCM.Graphical abstract

In ‐hospital ventricular arrhythmia in heart failure patients: 7 year follow‐up of the multi‐centric HEARTS registry
ConclusionsLower mean age of VA complicated HF patients is a matter of concern in the Saudi population. HF associated with VA increased in ‐hospital events and all‐cause mortality indicating poor prognosis and survival. These findings enable risk stratification and reflect on the importance of early recognition of the clinical markers and predictors of VA prompting immediate management.

Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Inherited Heart Diseases
ConclusionUp to one third of inherited heart disease patients will develop AF. While common general population risk factors are key in patients with HCM, genotype is independently associated with AF. Amongst inherited arrhythmia syndromes, AF is less common, though often occurs below the age of 50 years.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Biventricular imaging markers to predict outcomes in non ‐compaction cardiomyopathy: a machine learning study
ConclusionsOur findings show the importance of biventricular assessment to detect the severity of this cardiomyopathy and to plan for early clinical intervention. In addition, this study shows that even patients with normal LV function and negative late gadolinium enhancement had MACE. ML is a promising tool for analysing a large set of parameters to stratify and predict prognosis in LVNC patients.
