Mashup Score: 3
Survival to hospital discharge among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is low and important regional differences in treatment practices and survival have been described. Since the 2017 publication of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society’s position statement on OHCA care, multiple randomized controlled trials have helped to better define optimal post cardiac arrest care. This working group provides updated guidance on the timing of cardiac catheterization in patients with ST-elevation and without ST-segment elevation, on a revised temperature control strategy targeting normothermia instead of hypothermia, blood pressure, oxygenation, and ventilation parameters, and on the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalography patterns in patients with a resuscitated OHCA.

Mashup Score: 5
Stroke volume (SV) estimation using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is essential for noninvasive hemodynamic assessment and valve disease severity grading.1 The most used TTE method for SV estimation requires the measurement of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) cross-sectional area (CSA) and flow velocity data. The LVOT CSA is traditionally calculated according to the LVOT diameter (LVOTd) from the TTE parasternal long-axis view, assuming a circular LVOT shape1 (LVOT CSA = π × [LVOTd/2]2).

Mashup Score: 2Pericardial Disease in the Developing World - 8 month(s) ago
Pericardial disease in the developing world is dominated primarily by effusive and constrictive syndromes and contributes to the acute and chronic heart failure burden in many regions. The confluence of geography (location in the tropics), a significant burden of diseases of poverty and neglect, and a significant contribution of communicable diseases to the general burden of disease is reflected in the wide etiological spectrum of causes of pericardial disease. The prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in particular, is high throughout much of the developing world where it is the most frequent and important cause of pericarditis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Mashup Score: 4Pericardial Inflammatory Mediators That Can Drive Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery Patients - 8 month(s) ago
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common dysrhythmia that affects a significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Many studies aim to better understand this complex postsurgical complication by analysing circulating biomarkers in patients who develop POAF. More recently, the pericardial space was shown to contain inflammatory mediators that could trigger POAF. In this review we summarise recent studies that examine the immune mediators present in the pericardial space and their potential implications for the pathophysiology of POAF in cardiac surgery patients.

Mashup Score: 6The Contemporary Role of Cardiac Computed Tomography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis and Management of Pericardial Diseases - 9 month(s) ago
Pericardial syndromes encompass different clinical conditions from acute pericarditis to idiopathic chronic pericardial effusion. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first and most important initial diagnostic imaging modality in most patients affected by pericardial disease. However, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have recently gained a pivotal role in cardiology, and recent reports have supported the role of both of these advanced techniques in the evaluation and guiding therapy of pericardial disease.
