Malignant Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: A Continuum of Clinical Challenges from Diagnosis to Risk Stratification and Patient Management.
Yedidya I, van Wijngaarden AL, Ajmone Marsan N
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disease, which may remain a benign condition for a long period of time. However, some patients experience malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is still largely unknown how to risk-stratify these patients, and no specific recommendations have been proposed to help the clinical decision-making. We present the case of a young man whose first clinical presentation was an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and was subsequent...

Isthmin1, a secreted signaling protein, acts downstream of diverse embryonic patterning centers in development.
Kesavan G, Raible F, Gupta M, Machate A, Yilmaz D, Brand M
Extracellular signals play essential roles during embryonic patterning by providing positional information in a concentration-dependent manner, and many such signals, like Wnt, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Hedgehog (Hh), and retinoic acid, act by being secreted into the extracellular space, thereby triggering receptor-mediated responses in other cells. Isthmin1 (ism1) is a secreted protein whose gene expression pattern coincides with that of early dorsal determinants, nodal ligand genes like...

Continuous postoperative pericardial flushing reduces postoperative bleeding after coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized trial.
Diephuis EC, de Borgie CA, Zwinderman A, Winkelman JA, van Boven WP, Henriques JPS, Eberl S, Juffermans NP, Schultz MJ, Klautz RJM, Koolbergen DR
Background: Prolonged or excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery can lead to a broad spectrum of secondary complications. One of the underlying causes is incomplete wound drainage, with subsequent accumulation of blood and clots in the pericardium. We developed the continuous postoperative pericardial flushing (CPPF) therapy to improve wound drainage and reduce postoperative blood loss and bleeding-related complications after cardiac surgery. This study compared CPPF to standard care in patient...

Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). A model was recently developed to predict incident sustained VA in patients with ARVC. However, since this outcome may overestimate the risk for SCD, we aimed to specifically predict life-threatening VA (LTVA) as a closer surrogate for SCD. Methods: We assembled a retrospective cohort of definite ARVC cases from 15 centers in North America and Europe....

A shock-free approach for ambulatory cardioversion in atrial fibrillation.
De Coster T
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common persistent arrhythmia, is terminated most effectively by electrical cardioversion. This therapy requires in-hospital sedation to relieve the pain caused by electric shocks. Recently, our research group showed how the heart itself could be enabled to detect and terminate arrhythmias, including AF, thereby revealing the discovery of fully biological, shock-free cardioversion. Because of its biological nature, neither electric shocks nor hardware/software i...
