BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic strokes, accounting for 40% of acute ischemic strokes, are linked to patent foramen ovale (PFO). Despite research efforts, uncertainties remain about optimal prevention strategies. OBJECTIVES: Therefore, we aimed to review RCTs and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) Studies comparing...

INTRODUCTION: Cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction is a significant adverse effect of chemotherapeutic agents, particularly anthracyclines (ANT). High-potency statin therapy, such as atorvastatin, appears to exert a protective effect against this condition. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a meta-ana...

BACKGROUND: Some studies suggest a potential benefit of hybrid ablation for patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), but its efficacy and safety remain debated. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of hybri...
BACKGROUND: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is a nonlacunar ischemic stroke with no clear cause, having a 4%-5% annual recurrence rate. The potential benefits of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) relative to aspirin in patients with ESUS remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a syst...
BACKGROUND: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody medication used as standard treatment for different types of cancers, one of them is glioblastoma, which is the most common primary brain tumor. PURPOSE: We aimed to assess bevacizumab and its effects on inducing hypertension in patients with glioblastoma....
BACKGROUND: The leadless pacemaker has emerged as a promising alternative for patients requiring artificial cardiac stimulation. Advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) is the primary indication for leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation in patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (...

INTRODUCTION: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic heart disease that predisposes individuals to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and quinidine are primary treatments, recurrent BrS-triggered cardiac ventricular arrhy...
INTRODUÇÃO: A ablação da fibrilação atrial (FA) é essencialmente baseada no isolamento das veias pulmonares (PVI), no entanto, a recorrência da FA devido à reconexão da VP é um desafio. O uso da técnica de alta potência de curta duração (HPSD; > 40 W) mostrou-se mais eficaz e seguro, propo...
