Connective tissue disorders and cardiac arrhythmias: genetic pathways, mechanistic bridges, and clinical implications

Background Connective tissue disorders (CTDs) such as Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are traditionally defined by vascular fragility and aortic complications. Increasing evidence, however, demonstrates that CTDs also predispose to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, often independent...

Comorbid Cardiovascular-Liver Disease Disparities: Current Understanding and Future Directions

Outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors after transcatheter mitral valve repair in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have demonstrated cardio- and renoprotective effects in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, their impact on patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TEER) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the...
