Current status and future perspective of structural heart disease intervention.
Abstract Valvular heart diseases are one of the most frequent causes for heart failure. Degenerative diseases of the aortic and mitral valve as well as a dysfunctional tricuspid valve disease result in a worse clinical outcome if severe. Minimal-invasive, surgical and/or catheter-based structural heart disease (SHD) interventions have recently seen a dramatic increase. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a disruptive technology, and next generation devices and careful patient selection will minimize limitations of TAVI such as paravalvular leak, conductance disturbance...

The importance of the early diagnosis of aorta coarctation
CONCLUSION: Coarctation of the aorta is, therefore, a cardiac malformation of significant importance due to its incidence and its significant mortality risk. In this sense, the early diagnosis stands out as an essential piece for better prognosis of the patient.RESUMO INTRODU ÇÃO: A coarctação da aorta é uma cardiopatia congênita caracterizada por um estreitamento que ocorre na artéria aorta. Essa constrição pode ocorrer em qualquer local ao longo de toda a sua extensão, entretanto, é mais comum entre a origem da artéria subclávia esquerda e o ducto arterios o. Sua incidência corresponde a três casos a cada ...

Weekend Sleep-In Might Ruin Your Waistline And Your Health, Study Says
(CNN) — Wake up, America, and raise your hand if you try to repair your exhausted body by sleeping in on weekends. A new study says the habit may not be such a good idea for your waistline — or your health. “Weekend catch-up sleep is not protective,” said Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, director of sleep research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “The bottom line of this study is that even if you sleep longer on weekends, if you continue to sleep poorly, you will still eat too much, and you will still gain weight.” The common behavior of “sleeping in on the weekends doesn&...

Poor Sleep Linked To Dangerous Plaque Buildup In Arteries
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN (CNN) — Here’s another reason why getting a good night’s sleep should be on your must-do list: Sleeping fewer than six hours a night or waking frequently raises your risk of developing damaging plaque in arteries throughout your body, not just your heart. Previous research has shown poor sleep to be strongly associated with coronary heart disease, but “This is the first study to show that objectively measured sleep is independently associated with atherosclerosis throughout the body,” José Ordovás, director of nutrition and genomics at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutriti...

Thromboembolic and bleeding risk stratification according to the EHRA valvular heart disease classification in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionThis systematic analysis in real life conditions shows that distinguishing AF patients according to the new EHRA valve classification could be relevant for creating more homogenous groups of patients in terms of TE and bleeding risk. This clearer classification than the previous one should be useful as in clinical research for harmonization of studies, as well as in clinical practice for targeted choices of OAC therapy.

Red Cell Distribution Width as a Prognostic Marker in Patients Undergoing Valve Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: An elevated RDW is associated with a worse outcome following valve surgery. The predictive ability of the RDW, when assessed by the area under the ROC curve, improved the predictive ability of the EuroSCORE II calculator. PMID: 30207123 [PubMed - in process]

Maximal stroke volume in children with repaired congenital heart disease
ConclusionAs expected, SV max was impaired in children residual lesion after CHD repair. VO2 max and maximal oxygen pulse does not seem to reflect cardiac performance. Concomitant noninvasive SV max measurement during CPET appears to be useful to evaluate these patients during their follow-up.

Bioelectronic Medicine: Targeting Inflammatory Disease with Electricity
We presented positive initial results in Crohn’s disease at the 2016 United European Gastroenterology meeting: six of the eight patients had seen a substantial reduction in their disease activity index scores, and three were in remission from the disease. As SetPoint looks ahead, several chronic disease areas are emerging as key bioelectronic medicine therapy targets, and our company is exploring a number of these. One of our preclinical programs explores bioelectronic medicine’s potential role as a treatment for MS.   New Target: Multiple Sclerosis In late 2017, SetPoint presented positive data from a study exp...

SQI Test Detects Heart Attack Before It Happens
There isn't a  shortage in the number of companies developing tests for cancer detection. However, it’s a far different story when it comes to diagnostics for cardiovascular diseases. Two companies are bringing a huge spotlight to the space and have created a test that can predict a cardiac event. SQI Diagnostics and Predictive Health Diagnostics (PHD) announced the validation, commercial transition, and development of the PULS Cardiac Test. "This is a serum blood test for all those people who look healthy and have normal lipids, yet still go on to have a heart attack," Douglas Harrington, CEO of PHD, told MD+DI.  "...

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.

Reliability of Peak Exercise Stroke Volume Assessment by Impedance Cardiography in Patients with Residual Right Outflow Tract Lesions After Congenital Heart Disease Repair
AbstractGlobal ventricular response to exercise may be useful in follow-up of patients with residual right outflow tract lesions after congenital heart disease repair. In this context, impedance cardiography is considered accurate for stroke volume (SV) measurement during exercise testing, however, to date, only partial assessment of its reliability has been reported. We retrospectively evaluated relative and absolute reliability of peak SV by impedance cardiography during exercise using intraclass correlation (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM) in this population. Peak SV was measured in 30 young patients (mean ...

Teaching NeuroImages: Abnormal cervical and cerebral vasculature in 22q11 deletion syndrome
A 12-day-old girl with a postnatal microarray diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome was transferred for surgical repair of truncus arteriosus. Neurologic examination at the time of transfer was unremarkable. Brain MRI on day of life 9 demonstrated an absent left internal carotid flow void. Magnetic resonance angiography of the head (figure, A) and neck (figure, B) was subsequently obtained prior to cardiac repair. Patients with 22q11 deletion syndromes may have abnormal cervical vessel development.1 Children with congenital heart disease have an elevated stroke risk, particularly for periprocedural stroke.2 Understanding ...

Early Results of Surgical Simultaneous Therapy for Significant Carotid Artery Stenosis and Heart Disease
Conclusion Simultaneous coronary bypass grafting as a single procedure or in combination with valve replacement and endarterectomy of severe carotid lesions with or without patients' history of previous stroke can be performed with a calculated low surgical risk. The complication rate for neurologic and myocardial events is low compared with the hazard of a single surgical repair. The in-hospital mortality is not significantly different to isolated procedures. The concomitant appearance of coronary stenosis and carotid artery disease is reasonable due to the nature of arteriosclerosis. In our opinion these patients benef...
