🎄❤️ Holiday Heart Syndrome is the onset of atrial fibrillation (AFib) triggered by alcohol consumption (most often binge drinking) during the festive season. In this clip, Aseem Desai, MD, FHRS addresses some misconceptions: ➡️ Many think AFib happens immediately after drinking, but it’s not always the case. While some experience AFib during intoxication, others develop it 12 to 36 hours later. ➡️ Binge drinking is defined as just 5 drinks in 2 hours for men or 4 drinks for women—less than you might think.

Published today, Clinical Management and Transplant Considerations in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association. In pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease, the primary driver is systolic or diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, leading to left atrial hypertension and pulmonary venous congestion. Over time, the pulmonary arterial bed may remodel, causing elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. http://spr.ly/6044Qyg7r. 📷 Mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease
