Ghrelin and BNP significantly correlated in the left ventricle and strongly colocalized to the same intracellular compartment in diseased and control tissue. GHSR, ghrelin, and BNP all strongly and significantly correlated with SERCA2a in the left ventricle of diseased tissue only. Our results suggest that the dynamics of the myocardial ghrelin-GHSR axis is altered in cardiovascular disease in the absence of measurable changes in heart function, and might accompany a regional shift in endocrine programming.

Pneumothorax is a common complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures. There is a paucity of data on the natural history and management of a CIED-associated pneumothorax. This is a single-centre retrospective study of all consecutive patients with a CIED-associated pneumothorax between March 2010 and March 2020. Pneumothorax size was determined on all chest x-rays after device implantation and before chest tube insertion (if placed). Changes in pneumothorax size on serial chest x-rays were reported. Clinical outcomes in patients with a severe-sized pneumothorax treated with a chest tube were compared with those treated conservatively. A total of 86 CIED-associated pneumothoraxes were identified, with 55 (63.9%) patients having a pneumothorax severe in size. Thirty-seven patients with a severe pneumothorax received a chest tube, whereas 18 were managed conservatively. Chest tube use was associated with a higher rate of admission to hospital (100% vs 63%, = 0.02) for patients undergoing outpatient procedure, longer length of stay (6.3 ± 3.9 vs 2.7 ± 2.9 days, = 0.04), but
