Peripartum cardiomyopathy: An uncommon cause of ischemic stroke.
Abstract A previously healthy 22-year-old woman with a history with a healthy pregnancy presented 12 weeks after an uneventful delivery with progressive dyspnea and edema. Initial blood workup was relevant for an elevated B-type natriuretic peptide in 1641 pg/mL (reference: 0-100). PMID: 33181805 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Tafamidis Reduces The Decline In Longitudinal Strain And Stroke Volume In Patients With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain and stroke volume are significant predictors of mortality in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). In the Tafamidis in Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trial (ATTR-ACT), tafamidis significantly reduced mortality and CV-related hospitalizations. Further analysis of changes in echocardiographic measures in ATTR-ACT may provide additional insight into the efficacy of tafamidis.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Multiple Left Ventricular Thrombi and Embolic Stroke After Mild COVID-19
We report a case of a 37-year-old man who recovered from mild COVID-19 only to present a few weeks later with devastating cardiovascular involvement that included severe left ventricular impairment resulting from nonischemic cardiomyopathy, multiple left ventricular thrombi, and embolic stroke.PMID:36450145 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-20-7488

3-Year outcomes after left atrial appendage closure in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: cardiomyopathy related with increased death and stroke rate
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a novel treatment for stroke prevention in high-risk patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, the long-term outcomes after LAAC in Chinese NVAF pa...

The prevalence, predictors, and outcomes of spontaneous echocardiographic contrast or left ventricular thrombus in patients with HFrEF
ConclusionsIn patients with HFrEF, SEC was not uncommon and increased risk of ischaemic stroke as well as LVT. Anticoagulants could play a role in the reduction of stroke risk, suggesting that patients with SEC/LVT, even those in sinus rhythm, would benefit from systemic anticoagulation treatment.

Atrial cardiomyopathy: from cell to bedside
AbstractAtrial cardiomyopathy refers to structural and electrical remodelling of the atria, which can lead to impaired mechanical function. While historical studies have implicated atrial fibrillation as the leading cause of cardioembolic stroke, atrial cardiomyopathy may be an important, underestimated contributor. To date, the relationship between atrial cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and cardioembolic stroke remains obscure. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of atrial cardiomyopathy, with a special focus on neurohormonal and inflammatory mechanisms, as well as the role of adipose tissue, especially epicardia...

Risk of Sudden Death and Outcome in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With Benign Presentation and Without Risk Factors
In conclusion, in patients with HC without conventional risk factors and with no or mild symptoms, the risk of sudden death was not negligible, with an event rate of 0.6% per year. Heart failure and stroke-related death were less common and largely confined to older patients. These results underscore the need for a more accurate assessment of the sudden death risk in patients with HC.

Fibrotic Atrial Cardiomyopathy, Atrial Fibrillation, and Thromboembolism Mechanistic Links and Clinical Inferences
The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with ischemic stroke has long been recognized; yet, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying this relationship are incompletely understood. Clinical schemas, such as the CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke/transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category) score, incompletely account for thromboembolic risk, and emerging evidence suggests that stroke can occur in patients with AF even after sinus rhythm is restored. Atrial fibrosis correlates with both the persistence and burden of AF, and gadol...

The influence of right ventricular stimulation on acute response to cardiac resynchronisation therapy.
CONCLUSION: The haemodynamic effect of addition of RVapex stimulation to LV stimulation differs widely among patients receiving CRT. Poor RV function is associated with poor response to LV but not BiV stimulation. PMID: 26649436 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A turning point towards increased morbidity and mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: LA size was a common predictor of the arrhythmia and thromboembolic stroke. AF patients, regardless of the type of the arrhythmia, displayed significantly higher mortality rates. PMID: 28219794 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prognostic Impact of Left Atrial Minimal Volume on Clinical Outcome in Patients with Non-Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
In conclusion, LAVmin was independently associated with increased risk of HF, stroke, or mortality in patients with HCM and was superior to LAVmax in predicting clinical outcome in this population. PMID: 30158386 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) among patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: The current study found that the risk of all-cause death was significantly reduced but the risk of ischaemic stroke, major bleeding and intracranial bleeding were not significantly different between patients with AF and HCM who had received DOACs and those who received VKA.

A review of the epidemiology of atrial fibrillation in Sub ‐Saharan Africa
In conclusion, AF seems to have a higher prevalence in the general population than previously thought, and is mostly associa ted with hypertension, cardiomyopathy and rheumatic heart disease in SSA. It is associated with a high incidence of heart failure and stroke. The management of AF is suboptimal in SSA, especially with a low uptake of oral anticoagulation.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Outcome of patients receiving a continuous flow left ventricular assist device - a retrospective single center study.
Conclusions. Survival rates were good, although one third of patients were bridged with temporary circulatory support. We report a high level of freedom from pump thrombosis, fatal stroke, and driveline infection. PMID: 32292078 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
