Aortic Valve Calcification as a Predictor of Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Pacemaker DependenceAtrioventricular block requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is a common complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The mechanism of atrioventricular (AV) block during TAVR is not fully understood...

One would think with the number of cases and the number of clinical investigations underway, the issue of the effectiveness of a very old drug such as hydroxychloroquine would be resolved. However, to date the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 treatment remains highly controversial. Its use has markedly declined and some states are using medical boards to inhibit physicians from prescribing. Full Text | Michael Cinelli et al. Full Text | |||

Blood Plasma Resistin and Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects quality of life and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. Resistin plays an important role in inflammatory response to internal and external factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between resistin and permanent AF (PAF) in patients with cardiovascular disease. In our study, we included 146 patients with cardiovascular disease. Plasma resistin concentrations and demographic characteristics of patients were recorded. Full Text

Peripheral Embolization of Left Ventricular Thrombus Leading to Acute Bilateral Critical Limb Ischemia: A Rare Phenomenon
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a well-known complication of myocardial infarction (MI) leading to significant morbidity and mortality. LVT can also lead to systemic thromboembolic events causing threatening limb ischemia. We report a rare case of critical bilateral limb ischemia that resulted from peripheral embolization of LVT post MI, which was managed successfully by emergent surgical intervention and anticoagulation.
