Our aim was to assess changes of right ventricular end-diastolic volumes (RVEDVi) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) in asymptomatic adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, with native right ventricular…
Actual timing of the Fontan operation is variable. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of age at the time of Fontan operation on mortality and clinical outcome and characterize…
This study aims to characterize flow, volume, and strain of the left atrium in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) with atrial fibrillation (AF) using cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Cine CMR…
Frailty commonly coexists with heart failure and although both have been associated with neurohormonal dysregulation, inflammation, catabolism, and skeletal muscle dysfunction, there are still no defined biomarkers to assess frailty,…
To compare the efficacy and safety of apixaban and rivaroxaban for the prevention of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) by way of a meta-analysis informed by real-world…
Pulmonary vein (PV) automaticity is an established trigger for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), making PV isolation (PVI) the cornerstone of catheter ablation. However, data on triggers for atrial fibrillation (AF)…
Etiologic factors and long-term outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young patients have not been well characterized. This study aimed to analyze the etiologic factors and outcomes…
There are limited data on readmission with ischemic and major bleeding events in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with active cancer. The purpose of our study was to evaluate…
Accurate diagnosis of arrhythmias is improved with longer monitoring duration but can risk delayed diagnosis. We compared diagnostic yield, outcomes, and resource utilization by arrhythmia monitoring strategy in 330 matched…
In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ischemic postconditioning (iPOST) have shown ambiguous results in minimizing reperfusion injury. Previous findings show beneficial effects of iPOST in patients with STEMI…
