Mashup Score: 0AI model predicts risk of post-operative AFib - 1 year(s) ago
Researchers have built a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses electrocardiogram (ECG) data to identify patients who are more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AFib) after surgery, sharing their findings in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.[1] Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) was once viewed as “benign and transient,” the group explained, but more recent…

Mashup Score: 0Severe gum infections linked to heightened AFib risk - 1 year(s) ago
Periodontitis, a severe gum infection, may increase a patient’s risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to findings published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.[1] “Periodontitis is associated with a long-standing inflammation, and inflammation plays a key role in atrial fibrosis progression and AFib pathogenesis,” first author Shunsuke Miyauchi, an assistant professor at…

Mashup Score: 0Infection, heart failure the most common reasons for early mortality after transvenous lead removal - 1 year(s) ago
Overall, all-cause mortality after 30 days was 3% over the study’s 20-year study period. Infection (42%) was the No. 1 cause of 30-day mortality, followed by decompensated heart failure (17%), procedure-related mortality (10%), sudden cardiac arrest (7%) and respiratory failure (6%). Mortality specifically related to the TLR procedure was seen in just 0.3% of patients. In addition, the authors…

Mashup Score: 0COVID-19 infection and vaccination linked to debilitating heart condition—risk from vaccines ‘relatively slim’ - 1 year(s) ago
COVID-19 patients may face an increased risk of developing a significant heart rhythm condition, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTs), according to new findings published in Nature Cardiovascular Research.[1] COVID-19 vaccines are also associated with a higher POTS risk, but the risk was much greater after COVID-19 than after COVID-19 vaccination. “The main message here is that…

Mashup Score: 0Early catheter ablation superior to medication when treating ventricular tachycardia storm - 1 year(s) ago
Early catheter ablation (CA) outperforms medication alone when treating patients who present with ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm, according to new findings published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.[1] “VT storm is a distinct arrhythmic emergency characterized by three or more episodes of sustained VT within 24 hours or incessant VT,” wrote first author Kaimin Huang, BSc,…
