TL;DR: A pooled analysis of patient-level data demonstrates that PFO closure was safe and significantly reduced the mean number of monthly migraine days and monthly migraine attacks, and resulted in a greater number of patients who experienced complete migraine cessation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of social media for women physicians in cardiology has been systematically studied, and the authors seek to characterize women's use of online social media in this field.
Abstract: Background Social media is an effective channel for the advancement of women physicians; however, its use by women in cardiology has not been systematically studied. Our study seeks to characterize...

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the educational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and discussed opportunities to incorporate technological and curricular innovations spurred by the pandemic into cardiovascular fellowship training in the future.
Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly impacted graduate medical education for cardiovascular fellows in training. During the initial case surge in the US in early 2020, most training programs reformatted didactic curricula, redeployed fellows in training to non-cardiac services or furloughed fellows in training on non-essential services, reimagined procedural training in light of decreased case volumes, and balanced issues regarding trainee wellbeing and safety with occupational COVID-19 exposure risk. In this article, the authors review the educational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and discuss opportunities to incorporate technological and curricular innovations spurred by the pandemic into cardiovascular fellowship training in the future.

TL;DR: A 53-year-old female underwent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for tachy-brady syndrome, which was complicated by anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation due to right ventricular lead impingement on the left anterior descending coronary artery.
Abstract: A 53-year-old female underwent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for tachy-brady syndrome, which was complicated by anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation due to right ventricular lead impingement on the left anterior descending coronary artery. Coronary artery injury is a rare complication of cardiac device implantation which requires a multidisciplinary team for management. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)

TL;DR: Takayasu arteritis is a rare large vessel vasculitis with an incidence of 1 to 3 per million and has been found to involve the coronary arteries in 7% to 9% of cases.
Abstract: Takayasu arteritis is a rare large vessel vasculitis with an incidence of 1 to 3 per million. This disease typically involves the aorta and its primary branches but has been found to involve the coronary arteries in 7% to 9% of cases. We highlight the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

TL;DR: A patient with Takayasu's aortitis and angina pectoris due to severe narrowing of the left coronary arterial ostia is described.
Abstract: Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects young women. Cardiac involvement is infrequent and it includes aortic regurgitation, pericarditis, angor pectoris or myocardial infarction due to coronary narrowing and cardiac heart failure due to coronary involvement and/or high blood pressure. A patient with Takayasu's aortitis and angina pectoris due to severe narrowing of the left coronary arterial ostia is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of social media as a tool for advancing WIC and fostering gender equality and diversity in the field of cardiology has been discussed and discussed in detail.
Abstract: Though the number of women in medicine continues to rise, the discrimination against women and the gender inequity in both leadership roles and salary remains persistent. The gender divide is particularly prominent in male-dominated specialties, such as cardiology. Social media helps to foster global connections and disseminate information quickly and worldwide. The rise of social media has influenced how female physicians communicate and has particularly shown its benefits within the field of cardiology. Virtual platforms are important avenues where female physicians have united for greater representation of gender issues and advocacy efforts. Social media serves to further amplify gender equality activism by facilitating the conversations surrounding gender equity and proposing solutions to self-identified issues by the virtual community of female physicians and their allies. In this review, we discuss the role of social media as a tool for advancing WIC and foster gender equality and diversity.

TL;DR: This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the differential diagnosis of MwvA and its association with ischemic stroke, including age of onset and frequency of migraine with aura, stroke subtypes, and the role of cardioembolism in the migraine-stroke association.
Abstract: Objectives Patients with migraine with visual aura (MwvA) often present to eye care providers for evaluation. A thorough ophthalmological history and examination is needed to exclude ophthalmologic disorders. Additionally, it has been increasingly recognized that MwvA is associated with ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this narrative review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the differential diagnosis of MwvA and its association with IS. Materials and methods We conducted a PubMed search using key words including “migraine aura”, “visual aura without headache”, “late onset migraine accompaniment”, “migraine and stroke”, “migraine and atrial fibrillation”, and “migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO)”. We narratively summarized the main findings of the identified studies in sections including age of onset and frequency of migraine with aura, stroke subtypes, and the role of cardioembolism in the migraine-stroke association. Results and Conclusion For women younger than 50 years, MwvA is associated with an increased risk of IS, and the risk further increases in patients who also smoke and use oral contraceptives. Age of onset of MwvA 50 years or greater is associated with IS that occurs in late life. Studies reported that increased frequency of aura is associated with an increased risk of IS in women. MwvA is associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke and a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation compared to migraine without aura. Most studies that assessed the migraine-stroke association were based on patients with MwvA. The risks of stroke associated with other types of migraine aura or aura without headache, as well as such association in men require further investigation. More data is needed to determine the absolute risk of stroke when evaluating MwvA in situations including smoking and low dose estrogen use, new or late onset (>50 years) MwvA, to facilitate the development of practice guidelines for stroke prevention in specific clinical scenarios.
