Pharmacological Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias in the Fetal and Neonatal Periods: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association: Endorsed by the Pediatric & Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES) - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38314551/
Disorders of the cardiac rhythm may occur in both the fetus and neonate. Because of the immature myocardium, the hemodynamic consequences of either bradyarrhythmias or tachyarrhythmias may be far more...
This statement reviews fetal and neonatal arrhythmias, their mechanisms, pharmacological treatments, unique pharmacokinetics, hemodynamic impacts, and highlights research gaps and long-term developmental consequences of interventions and antiarrhythmic medications.

Adjudication of Hospitalizations and Deaths in the IRONMAN Trial of Intravenous Iron for Heart Failure - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39443013/
In IRONMAN, FDI exerted similar reductions in cardiovascular and noncardiovascular hospitalizations, suggesting that correcting iron deficiency might increase resistance or resilience to a broad range of problems that cause hospitalizations...
In the IRONMAN trial, intravenous ferric derisomaltose reduced cardiovascular and noncardiovascular hospitalizations in heart failure patients with iron deficiency, suggesting improved resilience to various health issues. Mortality patterns remained similar between groups.

Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography for accurate diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38301492/
Electrocardiography (ECG), improved by artificial intelligence (AI), has become a potential technique for the precise diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders. The conventional ECG is a frequently used, inexpensive, and...
AI-enhanced ECG improves cardiovascular disease diagnosis by detecting subtle patterns, aiding clinicians, and ensuring timely treatment. Challenges include bias, regulatory barriers, and interpretability, requiring diverse datasets and continuous validation for successful clinical deployment.

Mitral Annular Disjunction in the Context of Mitral Valve Prolapse: Identifying the At-Risk Patient - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38703174/
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a separation between the left atrium/mitral valve annulus and the left ventricular myocardium, is frequently seen in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse. Although an association...
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is linked to ventricular arrhythmias but lacks clear risk stratification. Multimodality imaging aids diagnosis, while treatment includes surgery, medical therapy, ablation, and ICDs, requiring further prospective data.

Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Values of Left Atrial Strain in Valvular Heart Disease - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39086705/
There has been increasing evidence supporting the importance of left atrial (LA) functional analysis and measurement in various physiologic and pathologic cardiovascular conditions due to its high diagnostic and prognostic...
Left atrial strain (LAS) via speckle-tracking echocardiography aids in early detection of subclinical dysfunction in valvular heart disease, guiding risk stratification, prognosis, and intervention timing to prevent irreversible myocardial damage.
