CSP vs BVP: Which one is better for HFrEF with non-LBBB?

In a meta-analysis comparing procedural and clinical outcomes between conduction system pacing (CSP) and biventricular cardiac resynchronization pacing (BVP), the former appears to outdo the latter for managing individuals with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) without left bundle branch block (LBBB).

PMN-MDSCs tied to outcomes, antibiotic response in bronchiectasis

Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) can set up an immunosuppressive microenvironment in the lung via arginase-1 (ARG-1) bronchiectasis, which is linked to clinical outcomes and response to antibiotic treatment among patients with bronchiectasis, suggests a study.
