Article Abstract

Single coronary artery is a congenital anomaly defined by a solitary artery supplying the heart. It may present as angina in the absence of coronary obstruction. A 73-year-old man presented to our institution with chest pain and exertional dyspnea. He was ultimately found to have a single coronary artery arising from the right coronary cusp (type R1). Multimodal imaging, including computed tomography and coronary angiography, revealed no flow-limiting lesions. The patient was medically managed to optimize coronary disease risk and to minimize symptoms. This case underscores the clinical relevance of anatomical coronary variants and the role of imaging in evaluating symptoms in this subset of the population.

Background: Cardiac laminopathies, associated with mutations in the LMNA gene, are a rare inherited disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations. There are currently no data on the association between supraventricular re-entrant tachycardias and LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.

Case Summary: A 26-year-old male presented with either wide-QRS tachycardia with a left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern or narrow QRS tachycardia, as well as a history of palpitations since age 15.

Background: Measurement of total lung capacity (TLC) requires large and expensive equipment. We aimed to investigate whether spirometric restriction and low alveolar volume measured by single breath gas transfer ( ) can be used to identify those with a low TLC.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from adults referred to Cambridge University Hospitals between January 2016 and December 2023.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the performance of two versions of ChatGPT (o1 and 4o) in making decisions about coronary revascularization and to compare the recommendations of these versions with those of a multidisciplinary Heart Team. Moreover, the study aimed to assess whether the decisions generated by ChatGPT, based on the internal knowledge base of the system and clinical guidelines, align with expert recommendations in real-world coronary artery disease management. Given the increasing prevalence and processing capabilities of large language models, such as ChatGPT, this comparison offers insights into the potential applicability of these systems in complex clinical decision-making.

Background: Remimazolam tosilate, a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, demonstrates promising safety profiles in clinical settings. While both remimazolam tosilate and etomidate provide hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction, limited research has directly compared their effects on electroencephalogram (EEG) burst suppression (periods of transient brain wave silence), a potential predictor of adverse neurological outcomes. This study aims to compare the incidence rate of EEG burst suppression (ESR) with remimazolam tosilate versus etomidate by reviewing the drug regimens used by different anesthesiologists in clinical practice.

Background: Paediatric patients who underwent surgery for mitral regurgitation (MR) have a high risk of recurrence or death; however, no prediction tool has been developed to risk-stratify this challenging subpopulation.

Methods: In this multicentre cohort study, paediatric patients undergoing surgery for congenital MR in Shanghai Children's Medical Center in January 1st, 2009-December 31st, 2022 were included for analysis while those had a combination with infective endocarditis, anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, rheumatic valvular disease, connective tissue disease, or single ventricle were excluded. A Cox regression model predictive of the primary outcome (a composite of mortality or mitral valve [MV] re-operation) was derived and converted to a point-based risk score.
