Sacubitril-Valsartan lowers atrial fibrillation recurrence and left atrial volume post-catheter ablation: systematic review and meta-analysis

Am. j. cardiovasc. drugs; 25 (2), 2025
INTRODUCTION: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have undergone catheter ablation, the comparative effectiveness of sacubitril-valsartan (SV) versus ACE inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB) in preventing AF recurrence remains unclear. The purpose of the present systematic r...

Diagnostic accuracy of artificial-intelligence-based electrocardiogram algorithm to estimate heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Curr. probl. cardiol; 50 (4), 2025
INTRODUCTION: AI-based ECG has shown good accuracy in diagnosing heart failure. However, due to the heterogeneity of studies regarding cutoff points, its precision for specifically detecting heart failure with left ventricle reduced ejection fraction (LVEF <40 %) is not yet well established. What is the ...

Reply to the editor- clinical potential of conduction system pacing versus biventricular pacing in heart failure: a trial sequential analysis and methodological comment

Heart rhythm; 21 (7), 2024
We thank Romeiro et al for their letter. Although we generally agree with the limited performance of funnel plots when the number of included studies is low, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the totality of published randomized controlled trials on conduction system pacing vs b...

Adaptive servo-ventilation for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (ADVENT-HF): a multicentre, multinational, parallel-group, open-label, phase 3 randomised controlled trial

Lancet Respir. Med; 12 (2), 2024
BACKGROUND: In patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, sleep-disordered breathing, comprising obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and central sleep apnoea (CSA), is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and sleep disruption. We hypothesised that treating sleep-disordered breathing...

Multifaceted strategy based on automated text messaging after a recent heart failure admission: the MESSAGE-HF Randomized Clinical Trial

JAMA cardiol. (Online); 9 (2), 2024
IMPORTANCE: Readmissions after an index heart failure (HF) hospitalization are a major contemporary health care problem. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an intensive telemonitoring strategy in the vulnerable period after an HF hospitalization. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Thi...

Re-estratificação de risco de candidatos à terapia de ressincronização cardíaca guiada pela ecocardiografia com speckle tracking
Risk re-stratification of candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy guided by speckle tracking echocardiography

Arq. bras. cardiol; 120 (12 supl.1), 2023
INTRODUÇÃO: A fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) é o parâmetro utilizado para a classificação dos diferentes fenótipos de insuficiência cardíaca (IC). Embora pacientes portadores de IC com FEVE reduzida (ICFER) e evidência de bloqueio de ramo esquerdo (BRE) possam ser considera...

Left atrial strain as a predictor of left ventricular filling pressures in coronary artery disease with preserved ejection fraction: a comprehensive study with left ventricular end-diastolic and pre-atrial contraction pressures

Assessing left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP) is challenging in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF). We aimed to correlate left atrial strain (LAS) with two invasive complementary parameters of LVFP and compared its accuracy to other echocardiog...

Caso raro de cardiomiopatia restritiva associada à mutação do Gene TNNI3
Rare case of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with TNNI3 gene mutation

ABC., imagem cardiovasc; 36 (3 supl. 1), 2023
APRESENTAÇÃO DO CASO: Mulher de 27 anos, com relato de dispneia desde a infância, não investigada previamente, encaminhada para cardiologia em 2014 devido piora do quadro, quando além da dispneia, apresentava episódios de cianose aos moderados esforços. Em história familiar, desconhecia informaç...

Percutaneous coronary intervention in late presentation acute myocardial infarction without viability. effects on left ventricular remodelling and contractility – rationale and design

Arq. bras. cardiol; 119 (4 supl.1), 2022
INTRODUCTION: The potential benefits attributable to late reperfusion fall under the “open artery hypothesis”, in which the stunned peri-infarction zone after revascularization restores blood supply, improving its contractility. A study showed that late coronary recanalization after myocardial infarc...
