“…Ebana and Furakawa describe an approach to shed light on potential causal links between several risk factors and atrial arrhythmias from the superior vena cava using a Bayesian network analysis. This approach may be a relevant step from statistical association towards identification of causative mechanisms and together with experimental work and mechanistic computer models may help to establish tailored mechanism-based therapies for AF.…”

“…Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) on long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) chronically receive high fluid volumes directly into the right atrium (RA) through the superior vena cava. We retrospectively evaluated cardiac function measured by routine transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in a population of 26 SBS patients on long-term HPN and compared their data on echocardiograph-derived right heart structure and function, with those of a control group of 26 patients also bearing a central venous catheter (CVC) for other reasons. …”

“…This pictorial review illustrates the key imaging findings of vascular complications in patients with liver transplantation: hepatic artery complications (such as thrombosis, stenosis of the anastomosis and pseudoaneurysms), portal vein abnormalities (such as occlusion and stenosis) and hepatic veins and/or inferior vena cava flow changes (Budd-Chiari syndrome).…”
