JACC Asia . 2025 Feb; 5(2):299-312. PMID: 39967222
Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) near the His-bundle comprise 9% of unexplained VAs and present challenges for ablation caused by the risk of atrioventricular block. Objectives: The authors studied the electrocardiographic...

ERJ Open Res . 2025 Feb; 11(1). PMID: 39963168
Importance: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may increase the risk of dementia; however, studies have reported variable findings. We investigated if undiagnosed OSA in healthy older adults is associated with cognitive...

Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol . 2024 Nov; 17(12):e013385. PMID: 39611251
Background: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to right ventricular pacing. Traditionally, LBBP is performed with lumenless lead (LLL); however, the use of...

Sleep . 2024 Sep; 48(2). PMID: 39301859
Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may increase the risk of dementia. A potential pathway for this risk is through cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). In the context of an...

Shroff J, Nair A, Tuan L, Raja D, Abhilash S, Mehta A, et al.
Heart Rhythm . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39278609
Background: Paced QRS morphology may vary during left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) per the pacing location. It remains unclear whether electrocardiographic changes observed during LBBAP can predict clinical outcomes....

J Am Coll Cardiol . 2024 Sep; 84(17):1587-1602. PMID: 39217567
Background: Obesity is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and is a key driver for the development and progression of heart failure (HF). Once-weekly semaglutide (2.4 mg) has been shown to...

Heart Rhythm . 2024 Apr; 21(10):1970-1977. PMID: 38636932
Background: Endocardial electrogram (EGM) characteristics in nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) have not been explored adequately for prognostication. Objective: We aimed to study correlation of bipolar and unipolar EGM characteristics with left...

Hypertension . 2024 Apr; 81(6):1400-1409. PMID: 38563148
Background: Cuff blood pressure (BP) is recommended for guiding hypertension management. However, central BP has been proposed as a superior clinical measurement. This study aimed to determine whether controlling hypertension...

BMJ Open . 2024 Mar; 14(3):e080982. PMID: 38458796
Introduction: Calcium channel blockers (CCB), a commonly prescribed antihypertensive (AHT) medicine, may be associated with increased risk of breast cancer. The proposed study aims to examine whether long-term CCB use...
