Summary: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common atrial tachyarrhythmia, and direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is a treatment method, but there is a high percentage of AF recurrences after this procedure. To assess the prognosis of DCCV effectiveness, clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic parameters are used. This review aims to systematize the current knowledge on echocardiographic measurements in patients with persistent AF for assessing the progress of atrial wall remodeling, which impacts the maintenance of sinus rhythm after DCCV.

Summary: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is widely accepted as a measure of cardiac systolic function, but it may not accurately reflect the contractile performance of the left ventricle. In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), LVEF does not reflect effective systolic function and does not consider longitudinal and torsional contraction. Alternative measurements are needed to better reflect the true hemodynamic status.

Summary: The relationship between heart failure (HF) and COVID-19 is still uncertain. Some reports suggest decreased HF events during pandemics, while others show higher mortality and sudden death in HF patients. The infection may directly cause myocardial damage and certain medications used for COVID-19 may have negative effects on the cardiovascular system. HF patients require tailored management to prevent complications and fluid retention. This review discusses the complex interplay between COVID-19 and HF, the evolving trend of infection with related cardiovascular events, and specific management strategies.

Summary: The moderator band is a structure in the right ventricle composed of muscular and Purkinje fibers. It is implicated in the genesis of life-threatening arrhythmias, but there is less research on right Purkinje network arrhythmias compared to the left. The unique anatomical and electrophysiological properties of the moderator band may contribute to its arrhythmogenicity.

Summary: This study investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in coronary blood flow regulation and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The results showed a significant association between specific SNPs of certain genes and coronary artery disease (CAD) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in healthy individuals. Additionally, the co-presence of specific SNPs was found to be an independent protective factor against IHD, regardless of cardiovascular risk factors.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the GRACE risk score in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The study found that the GRACE risk score, along with the PESI score, were independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The GRACE risk score showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality, and its combination with the PESI score helped define high-risk PE patients and predict poor prognosis.

Summary: This study evaluated the angiogenic capacity of adipose tissue in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries and found that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) had reduced angiogenic capacity in their pericardial adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulated expression of the anti-angiogenic gene TSP-1 in CAD patients, with no significant differences in other angiogenic factors. Additionally, inhibiting TSP-1 expression significantly improved angiogenic deficiency in CAD patients.

Summary: The current guidelines recommend prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and low left ventricular ejection fraction. However, not all patients will benefit from ICD treatment. This study evaluated the feasibility of using the MADIT-II-based Risk Stratification Score (MRSS) to predict the survival benefit of prophylactic ICDs in patients with HF. The results showed that different risk subgroups had varying levels of ICD survival benefit.
