Mashup Score: 1Antiarrhythmic effects of metformin - 4 day(s) ago
Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is a major public health problem and is associated with stroke, heart failure, dementia, and death. It is estimated that 20%–30% of Americans will develop AF at some point in their life. Current medications to prevent AF have limited efficacy and significant adverse effects. Newer and safer therapies to prevent AF are needed. Ventricular arrhythmias are less prevalent than AF but may have significant consequences including sudden cardiac death. Metformin is the most prescribed, first-line medication for treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM).

Mashup Score: 71Delineating Post-Infarct Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate with Dynamic Voltage Mapping in Areas of Omnipolar Vector Disarray - 1 month(s) ago
Defining post-infarct ventricular arrhythmic substrate is challenging with voltage mapping alone, though may be improved in combination with an activation map. Omnipolar Technology on the EnSite X system displays activation as vectors that can be superimposed onto a voltage map.

Mashup Score: 2What do national radiotherapy guidelines for patients with cardiac devices teach us? - 1 month(s) ago
The incidence of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) malfunctions caused by radiotherapy (RT) is approximately 5%. Although individual national guidelines and expert consensus documents exist, the increased use of RT to treat various cancers points out the need for a standardized document to guide risk assessment and management of CIEDs during RT. We describe potential adverse RT-related events on CIEDs as well as the proposed mechanism of dysfunction. We review the main current guidelines and recommendations, emphasizing similarities and differences.

Mashup Score: 27
Limited real-world evidence exists for outcomes with contemporary guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) or GDMT with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%.

Mashup Score: 19Utility of a cloud-based lesion data collection software to record, monitor, and analyze an ablation strategy - 3 month(s) ago
Catheter radiofrequency (RF) ablation–based pulmonary vein isolation is the predominant approach to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Attempts to improve success rates have included real-time monitoring of factors related to lesion formation, such as contact force (CF), power, impedance changes, lesion duration, and calculated indices such as ablation index (AI) (SURPOINT, Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA). Data created from each lesion typically are lost because of logistical challenges related to storage, retrieval, and analysis.

Mashup Score: 2Sarcoid heart disease and imaging - 3 month(s) ago
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can mimic any cardiomyopathy due to its ability to manifest with a variety of clinical presentations. The exact prevalence of CS remains unknown but has been reported ranging from 2.3% to as high as 29.9% among patients presenting with new onset cardiomyopathy and/or atrioventricular block. Early and accurate diagnosis of CS is often challenging due to the nature of disease progression and lack of diagnostic reference standard. The current diagnostic criteria for CS are lacking in sensitivity and specificity.
