BACKGROUND: In recent years, studies reported that the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) has increased despite the decrease in rheumatic heart diseases, great advances in medical and surgical treatment methods, and prophylactic antibiotic therapies. However, there is no bibliometric analysis based on the visual mapping method in the literature. In the study, we aimed to analyze the hot topics in IE, the distribution of publications in terms of country, institution, journal, author, and their relationships by assessing IE articles published in the 130 years between 1892 and 2022...

AIMS: Evidence on the epidemiology and prognostic significance of mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS: Overall, 538 patients with either transthyretin (ATTR, n = 359) or immunoglobulin light-chain (AL, n = 179) CA were included at three Italian referral centres. Patients were stratified according to isolated or combined moderate/severe MR and TR. Overall, 240 patients (44...

Thoracic aortic disease (TAD) poses substantial risks during pregnancy, particularly for women with genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This review examines the epidemiology, risk assessment, and management of TAD in pregnancy. Preconception counseling is vital considering the hereditary nature of TAD and potential pregnancy-related complications. Genetic testing and imaging surveillance aid in risk assessment. Medical management, including beta-blockade and strict blood pressure control, is essential throughout pregnancy...

AIMS: Timely access to surgery is an essential part of healthcare. People living with mental health (MH) conditions may have higher rates of chronic illness requiring surgical care but also face barriers to care. There is limited evidence about whether unequal surgical access contributes to health inequalities in this group. METHODS: We examined 1.22 million surgical procedures in public and private hospitals in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, in 2019. In a cross-sectional study of 76,320 MH service users aged 18 and over, surgical procedure rates per 1,000 population were compared to rates for 6...

BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is the most severe form of acute heart failure. Discrepancies have been reported between sexes regarding delays, pathways and invasive strategies in CS complicating acute myocardial infarction. However, effect of sex on the prognosis of unselected CS remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to analyze the impact of sex on aetiology, management and prognosis of CS. METHODS: The FRENSHOCK registry included all CS admitted in 49 French Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Intensive Cardiac Care Units (ICCU) between April and October 2016...

BACKGROUND: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50-64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Council [mMRC] ≥ 2) was evaluated in relation to self-reported symptoms, stress, depression; physician-diagnosed conditions; measured body mass index (BMI), spirometry, venous haemoglobin concentration, coronary artery calcification and stenosis [computer tomography (CT) angiography], and pulmonary emphysema (high-resolution CT)...

BACKGROUND: Autoimmune blistering disorders (ABDs) might elevate cardiovascular risk, but studies are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To examine if ABDs elevate the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure, arrhythmia, venous thromboembolism, and cardiovascular death. METHODS: A population-based cohort of Danish patients with ABD (≥18 years of age) diagnosed during 1996-2021 (n=3,322) was compared with an age and sex-matched comparison cohort from the general population (n=33,195)...

BACKGROUND: The true incidence of sudden death remains undetermined, with controversial results from various publications over time and countries. AIM: To investigate if different estimations would reach the values usually reported for France. METHODS: Three different kinds of estimations were used. First, the number of resuscitated sudden deaths and necropsies for sudden death in the Haute-Garonne French administrative department (i.e. county) over the last 10years was expanded to the national level...

INTRODUCTION: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that can be lethal in large doses and may also cause physiological damage in lower doses. Epidemiological studies suggest that CO in lower doses over time may impact on embryo development, in particular cardiac development, however other studies have not observed this association. METHODS: Here, we exposed chick embryos in ovo to CO at three different concentrations (3, 9, 18 ppm) plus air control (4 protocols in total) for the first 9 days of development, at which point we assessed egg and embryo weight, ankle length, developmental stage, heart weight, ventricular wall thickness, ventricular-septal thickness and atrial wall thickness...

AIMS: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) impair cardiac repolarization and prolong the QT interval and may potentially be proarrhythmic. However, risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is scarcely investigated. We studied whether past or current PPI use is associated with OHCA in the general population. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a nationwide nested case-control study with OHCA-cases of presumed cardiac causes and age/sex/OHCA-date-matched non-OHCA-controls from the general population...

BACKGROUND: Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) complicates congenital heart surgery in 2-8.3% of cases. JET is associated with postoperative morbidity in single-center studies. We utilized the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium data registry for the first multicenter epidemiologic description of treated JET. METHODS: This is a retrospective study (2/2019 - 8/2022) of patients with treated JET. INCLUSION: 1) <12 months old at index operation; 2) treated for JET <72 hours after surgery...

Cardiac troponin (Tn) plays a central role in the evaluation of patients with angina presenting with acute coronary syndrome. The advent of high-sensitivity assays has improved the analytic sensitivity and precision of serum Tn measurement, but this advancement has come at the cost of poorer specificity. The role of clinical judgment is of heightened importance because, more so than ever, the interpretation of serum Tn elevation hinges on the careful integration of findings from electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, physical exam, interview, and other imaging and laboratory data to formulate a weighted differential diagnosis...

INTRODUCTION: Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a therapeutic emergency and can lead to myocardial dysfunction (17%-75%) and heart failure (52%-53%). Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and corticosteroids (CST) have been validated for the management of this condition. Recent reports suggest that an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, namely anakinra, may be a valuable add-on to the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) treatment for refractory patients...
