New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35331452/
Objectives: The authors aimed to identify risk factors and outcomes associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Conclusions: NOAF is common after TAVR. Whether AF after TAVR is a causal factor or a marker of sicker patients remains unclear.
Transfer Learning Models for Detecting Six Categories of Phonocardiogram Recordings - PubMed

Background and aims: Auscultation is a cheap and fundamental technique for detecting cardiovascular disease effectively.
Conclusions: Our method obtained high classification accuracy even under a noisy background, which suggests that the proposed classification method could be used in auxiliary diagnosis for cardiovascular diseases.

ROSS SURGERY: OUR EXPERIENCE
Source : https://pjctvs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/164
Objectives: At Santa Marta Hospital, Ross Surgery was performed for the first time in 1999. Twenty years later, we feel it is desirable to evaluate the mid and long-term results...
Conclusion: Ross surgery has strict indications and in this group of patients the advantages are undeniable and the outcomes, according to our results (with 83% of patients free from reoperation, at a mean follow-up of 15 years), are positive and encouraging.
