Article Abstract
Purpose: This review aims to highlight the different types of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and will discuss the evidence base behind the use of different cardiac biomarkers to predict cardiovascular complications. Additionally, we will review the use of cardiac biomarkers to monitor cardiac outcomes and the role of cardioprotective medications in reducing cardiovascular side effects.
Recent Findings: Chemotherapy has been linked to an increased risk of cardiotoxicity and heart failure. Currently, patients receiving chemotherapy undergo echocardiogram before starting chemotherapy and every 6 months to monitor for any decline in cardiac function. We reviewed the current evidence and practice guidelines of monitoring chemotherapy cardiotoxicity.
Summary: Cardio-oncology is a rapidly evolving subspecialty in cardiology, especially with the advent of new chemotherapeutic agents, which have cardiovascular side effects. Early detection of these effects is crucial to prevent life-threatening and irreversible cardiovascular outcomes. Monitoring troponin, pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and other cardiac biomarkers during chemotherapy will help to early detect cardiotoxicity.

Predicting In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Using Machine Learning Models: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.

Background And Aims: Aim of this study was to assess the risk of hemolysis, the extent of myocardial and neural injury after monopolar, monophasic pulsed field ablation (PFA) using a lattice-tip catheter in comparison to single-shot PF ablation platforms employing bipolar, biphasic waveforms.
Methods: This prospective study included consecutive patients undergoing PFA for atrial fibrillation (AF) using the Affera™ mapping and ablation system (n=40). Biomarkers for hemolysis (haptoglobin, LDH, bilirubin), myocardial injury (high-sensitive troponin T, CK, CK-MB), neurocardiac injury (S100), and renal function (creatinine) were assessed pre- and within 24 hours post-ablation.

Background: Antiviral drugs and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have significantly reduced COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths in infected children. However, COVID-19 continues to pose a major mortality risk in young children. High-sensitive cardiac troponin (Hs-cTn) is a specific marker of myocardial cell damage.

MS4A4A belongs to the MS4A tetraspan protein superfamily and is selectively expressed by the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of MS4A4A+ macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and response to treatment. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry of synovial samples from either early treatment-naïve or active chronic RA patients showed that MS4A4A expression positively correlated with synovial inflammation.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.
