Delayed Diagnosis of Cor Triatriatum Dexter: A Case Report and Comprehensive Review of Embryology, Imaging, and Management - PubMed

Delayed Diagnosis of Cor Triatriatum Dexter: A Case Report and Comprehensive Review of Embryology, Imaging, and Management - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41164062/

Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly resulting from the persistence of the right valve of the sinus venosus, leading to partial or complete partitioning of the...

Rare congenital cor triatriatum dexter caused right-atrial partitioning and venous obstruction in a woman with chronic congestion; multimodality imaging enabled diagnosis, underscoring CTD as a key mimic of right-sided heart failure.

AHA Scientific Sessions 2025: Transformative advances in cardiovascular care

Dr. Joanna Chikwui, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai and Chair of AHA Scientific Sessions, spotlighted significant breakthroughs across cardiology. Updates included novel therapies for hyperlipidemia, gene-editing tools for inherited cardiovascular risk, innovations in atrial fibrillation management, and compelling lifestyle findings—including a surprising inverse relationship between moderate coffee intake and AF incidence.

Dr. Heidi May, Epidemiologist at Intermountain Health, presented results from the Target-D randomized trial, which found that personalized vitamin D dosing after myocardial infarction significantly reduced the risk of recurrent heart attack. These findings underscore the importance of individualized supplementation strategies and signal a broader shift toward precision prevention and risk stratification in cardiovascular care.

Our findings suggest that early initiation of GDMT during ICU stabilization is associated with improved 6-month outcomes in survivors of cardiogenic shock. This hypothesis-generating study provides a rationale for future...

Early GDMT initiation during ICU care for Impella-supported cardiogenic shock improved 6-month survival and reduced heart failure readmissions, with higher discharge GDMT intensity supporting a goal-directed strategy needing prospective validation.

Running on empty: Factors underpinning impaired cardiac output reserve in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38421268/

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is frequently attributed etiologically to an underlying left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, although its pathophysiology is far more complex and can exhibit significant...

HFpEF involves diverse mechanisms impairing cardiac output reserve, including LV diastolic/systolic dysfunction, vascular stiffness, atrial and right ventricular abnormalities, valve disease, and chronotropic issues, supporting phenotype-guided, personalized therapeutic strategies.
