Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by prominent trabeculations and deep recesses. Neonatal cases, particularly with severe metabolic disturbances, are uncommon. We report a 2-day-old neonate with LVNC and dilated cardiomyopathy, presenting recurrent heart failure associated with hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, hyperlactatemia, and hypoglycemia. Management included mechanical ventilation, metabolic correction, and heart failure therapy, leading to improved cardiac function. Genetic analysis revealed a de novo heterozygous pathogenic ACTN2 deletion spanning exons 2–6. This case broadens the phenotypic spectrum of ACTN2-related LVNC and suggests a potential link between metabolic disturbances and cardiac deterioration.

摘要左心室非压实性(LVNC)是一种罕见的心肌病,其特征是突出的小梁和深窝。新生儿病例,特别是伴有严重代谢紊乱的病例并不常见。我们报告一个2天大的新生儿LVNC和扩张性心肌病,表现为复发性心力衰竭伴有高钾血症,代谢性酸中毒,高乳酸血症和低血糖。治疗包括机械通气、代谢矫正和心力衰竭治疗,导致心功能改善。遗传分析显示,一个从头杂合致病性ACTN2缺失跨越外显子2-6。该病例拓宽了actn2相关LVNC的表型谱,提示代谢紊乱和心脏恶化之间存在潜在联系。

His bundle typically passes through the central fibrous body of the atrioventricular node and then enters the membranous portion of the interventricular septum, where it branches into the left and right bundle branches. The feasibility and safety of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) in patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) have not been reported.

Objective

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of esophageal temperature monitoring (ETM) on the incidence of esophageal injury during cryoballoon ablation (CBA) for atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods

A systematic search identified randomized controlled and observational studies comparing CBA procedures performed with versus without ETM. Data on study design, patient characteristics, procedural details, and esophageal outcomes were extracted. The primary endpoint was the incidence of endoscopically detected esophageal lesions (EDEL). Secondary outcomes included severe ulceration, symptomatic esophageal thermal injury (ETI), and atrioesophageal fistula (AEF). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random-effects model. Risk of bias was assessed according to Cochrane guidelines, and publication bias was evaluated with funnel plots.

Results

Four studies comprising 269 patients were included. ETM significantly reduced the risk of EDEL compared with no ETM (pooled OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39–0.85), with low to moderate heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses confirmed consistent benefits across randomized and observational designs. Severe esophageal ulceration and symptomatic ETI were infrequent, and no AEF cases were reported. Funnel plot analysis indicated no major publication bias.

Conclusion

ETM significantly lowers the incidence of esophageal injury during CBA and should be considered a routine safety measure to improve procedural outcomes.

目的:本荟萃分析旨在评估食道温度监测(ETM)对房颤(AF)冷冻球囊消融(CBA)期间食道损伤发生率的影响。方法:系统检索了随机对照和观察性研究,比较了有ETM和没有ETM的CBA手术。提取了有关研究设计、患者特征、手术细节和食管结局的数据。主要终点是内镜检查食管病变(EDEL)的发生率。次要结局包括严重溃疡、症状性食管热损伤(ETI)和房-食管瘘(AEF)。比值比(ORs)和95%置信区间(ci)采用随机效应模型进行汇总。根据Cochrane指南评估偏倚风险,用漏斗图评估发表偏倚。结果:纳入4项研究,共269例患者。与未行ETM相比,ETM显著降低了EDEL的风险(合并OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.85),具有低至中等异质性。亚组分析证实了随机设计和观察设计的一致益处。严重食管溃疡和有症状的ETI少见,无AEF病例报道。漏斗图分析显示无重大发表偏倚。结论:ETM可显著降低CBA术中食管损伤的发生率,应作为一种常规的安全措施,以改善手术结果。

Introduction

A 30-year-old woman with a history of prior ablation for a concealed left posteroseptal accessory pathway (AP) presented with incessant narrow QRS tachycardia, highlighting a rare complication of incomplete AP ablation.

Methods and Results

Adenosine transiently terminated the tachycardia, which recurred immediately. Electrophysiology study confirmed orthodromic atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT) due to a slow-conducting AP at the previously ablated site. Three-dimensional mapping localized the AP to the left posteroseptal region, and radiofrequency ablation at the shortest VA interval successfully eliminated the arrhythmia.

Conclusion

This case illustrates incessant AVRT caused by an iatrogenic slow-conducting posteroseptal accessory pathway following incomplete ablation. Recognition of this mechanism is important to guide appropriate repeat ablation and prevent tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.

摘要:一名30岁女性,既往有隐蔽性左后间隔副通路(AP)消融术史,表现为持续狭窄的QRS心动过速,突出了不完全AP消融术的罕见并发症。方法与结果:腺苷可短暂终止心动过速,心动过速立即复发。电生理学研究证实,由于先前消融部位的AP传导缓慢,导致了正畸型房室再入性心动过速(AVRT)。三维定位图将AP定位于左后间隔区,在最短的VA间隔内射频消融成功消除了心律失常。结论:本病例显示不完全消融术后医源性慢传导后间隔副通路引起的持续AVRT。认识这一机制对指导适当的重复消融和预防心动过速引起的心肌病具有重要意义。

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Kazantzi等人的文章,该文章研究了心房心肌病(ACM)背景下已建立的p波参数与左房血流动力学之间的关系(Kazantzi et al. 2026)。作者使用前瞻性设计和全面的超声心动图评估来解决临床相关问题,应该得到承认。他们的结论是,晚期房间传导阻滞(IAB)是左房功能受损最可靠的心电图标志物,这一结论得到了数据集内部一致性的清晰呈现和支持。然而,有几个方法方面值得更仔细的审查。研究人群是异质性的,包括既往房颤患者、来源不明的栓塞性卒中患者和无明显心血管疾病的个体。虽然这种广泛的包含增强了外部有效性,但它可能会淡化p波指数与心房重构之间的病理生理特异性关联。目前的共识文件强调,ACM代表了一个具有可变电学、结构和力学表现的光谱,汇集这些不同的表型可能会模糊特定参数的诊断性能(Goette et al. 2024)。进一步的关注涉及病理p波参数的操作定义。从共识建议中得出的阈值主要基于流行病学关联,而不是针对心房组织病理学或金标准成像的机制验证。特别是,考虑到先前在基于人群的研究中证实与心房纤维化和卒中风险相关,V1导联p波末端力作为血流动力学标志物的消失可能反映了队列特征,而不是真正缺乏生物学相关性(Kamel et al. 2014)。此外,对横断面超声心动图标记物的依赖限制了因果推断。左心房应变和PA-TDI是心房功能的敏感指标,但它们仍然依赖于负荷,并受到供应商之间的差异。纵向评估或与晚期钆增强心脏磁共振成像等先进成像方式的相关性可能会加强这样一种观点,即先进的IAB真正捕获了心房心肌病的基底,而不是代表衰老和合并症负担的附带现象(Bisbal et al. 2020)。最后,优先考虑晚期IAB而不是其他p波参数的临床意义值得谨慎解释。虽然晚期IAB似乎与心房血流动力学受损密切相关,但其相对较低的患病率可能限制了其作为筛查工具的效用。综合心电图、超声心动图和生物标志物数据的多参数方法可能更好地反映ACM的复杂生物学,并与当代心房疾病作为一个连续体而不是二元实体的观点保持一致(Kreimer和Gotzmann 2022)。所有的作者都对计划、写作和修订做出了贡献。作者没有什么可报告的。作者声明无利益冲突。数据共享不适用于本文,因为在当前研究中没有生成或分析数据集。

Why Temporary Pacing in Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction or No-Reflow Becomes a Trigger—Not a Remedy—For Ventricular Fibrillation: Undersensing, “R-On-T”, Catheter Trauma and the Ischaemic Substrate 为什么急性下壁心肌梗死或无回流时临时起搏成为心室颤动的触发因素,而不是治疗方法:感知不足,“R-On-T”,导管创伤和缺血底物。

Temporary pacing during acute inferior MI or no-reflow can trigger ventricular fibrillation rather than prevent it. Four mechanisms are highlighted: (1) acute ischemia lowers VF threshold and creates repolarization heterogeneity; (2) fragmented electrograms cause undersensing and asynchronous spikes; (3) bradycardia-related long RR cycles position spikes on the T-wave (“R-on-T”); and (4) catheter micro-displacement induces mechanical extrasystoles. We propose a bedside decision framework—three questions before pacing—and a prevention bundle focused on urgent ischemia reversal, continuous electrogram surveillance, and early electrode removal. Bradycardia in this setting is often transient, but the electrophysiological vulnerability is not. Treating ischemia first and avoiding unnecessary pacing are paramount to prevent iatrogenic arrhythmia.

急性下段心肌梗死或无血流时临时起搏可触发而非预防心室颤动。强调了四种机制:(1)急性缺血降低VF阈值并产生复极化异质性;(2)碎片化的电图导致感应不足和异步尖峰;(3)心动过缓相关的长RR周期在t波上定位尖峰(“R-on-T”);(4)导管微位移诱发机械性心动过速。我们提出了一个床边决策框架——起搏前的三个问题——以及一个集中于紧急缺血逆转、连续电图监测和早期电极移除的预防束。在这种情况下,心动过缓通常是短暂的,但电生理易感性却不是。首先治疗缺血,避免不必要的起搏是预防医源性心律失常的关键。

Background

Aveir, as a newly approved leadless pacemaker (LP), has been increasingly adopted in clinical practice. However, its application in the Chinese population remains limited. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Aveir LP in Chinese patients.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent LP implantation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University between June 2024 and October 2024. Implantation sites included the right ventricular septum and the right ventricular free wall. Parameters were collected preoperatively and at 1-month post-implantation.

Results

A total of 16 patients were included, and all cases achieved successful implantation. At the 1-month follow-up, the pacing threshold improved from 0.68 ± 0.42 to 0.59 ± 0.27 V, impedance decreased from 740.00 ± 268.53 to 557.5 ± 129.69 Ω, and R-wave sensing increased from 8.51 ± 3.83 to 11.4 ± 4.22 mV. No complications were observed. There were no significant differences in measurements of the aorta, ascending aorta, left atrium, right atrium, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, or ejection fraction between preoperative and 1-month post-implantation. Similarly, no significant changes in tricuspid regurgitation were noted between preoperative and 1-month post-implantation.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Aveir VR implantation in the Chinese population, with no complications or adverse effects on right heart function. Both the right ventricular free wall and septum were shown to be safe implantation sites with satisfactory device performance, highlighting the free wall as a viable alternative.

Introduction

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and atrial cardiomyopathy (AtCM) are recognized as risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including stroke. We aimed to determine the combined impact of MetS and AtCM on stroke mortality.

Methods

Participants were selected from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES III) Survey. MetS was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III, while AtCM was defined as deep terminal negativity of the P wave in V1 (DTNPV1). Survey-weighted Firth penalized Cox analysis was performed to determine the adjusted HRs and 95% CIs of stroke mortality by MetS-AtCM status, including metabolically healthy without AtCM (MHNA; reference), metabolically unhealthy without AtCM (MUNA), metabolically healthy with AtCM (MHA), metabolically unhealthy with AtCM (MUA).

Results

A total of 4315 participants were included in the analysis. Throughout the follow-up, the rates of stroke mortality increased across the MetS-AtCM status categories: 1.56, 2.78, 4.68, and 8.24 per 1000 person-years in MHNA, MUNA, MHA, and MUA groups, respectively. Compared to the MHNA participants, MUA were at a higher risk of stroke mortality (HR = 3.33, 95% CI 1.24–8.94, p = 0.018). Stroke mortality showed a non-significant upward trend in both MUNA (HR = 1.57, 95% CI 0.96–2.59, p = 0.074) and MHA (HR = 1.61, 95% CI 0.52–5.00, p = 0.401) groups.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest a potential joint association of MetS and AtCM on stroke mortality. Further RCTs are warranted to evaluate the efficacy of anticoagulation in preventing ischemic stroke and reducing stroke mortality among individuals with both MetS and AtCM.

导言:代谢综合征(MetS)和心房心肌病(AtCM)被认为是心血管疾病的危险因素,包括中风。我们的目的是确定met和AtCM对卒中死亡率的综合影响。方法:从第三次全国健康与营养检查(NHANES III)调查中选择参与者。MetS定义根据成人治疗方案III, AtCM定义为V1 P波深端负性(DTNPV1)。采用调查加权的Firth惩罚Cox分析,确定MetS-AtCM状态下卒中死亡率的调整hr和95% ci,包括无AtCM代谢健康(MHNA; reference)、无AtCM代谢不健康(MUNA)、有AtCM代谢健康(MHA)、有AtCM代谢不健康(MUA)。结果:共纳入4315名参与者。在整个随访过程中,MHNA、MUNA、MHA和MUA组的卒中死亡率分别为每1000人年1.56、2.78、4.68和8.24。与MHNA组相比,MUA组卒中死亡风险更高(HR = 3.33, 95% CI 1.24-8.94, p = 0.018)。卒中死亡率在MUNA组(HR = 1.57, 95% CI 0.96-2.59, p = 0.074)和MHA组(HR = 1.61, 95% CI 0.52-5.00, p = 0.401)均呈无显著上升趋势。结论:我们的研究结果表明MetS和AtCM与卒中死亡率有潜在的联合关联。进一步的随机对照试验有必要评估抗凝在met和AtCM患者中预防缺血性卒中和降低卒中死亡率的功效。

Background

Population-based evidence on the predictive role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in incident Cardiac Conduction Dysfunction (CCD) and the mediating effects of electrophysiological parameters remains understudied. This study aimed to characterize the relationship between LVEF and incident CCD and explore the potential mediating effects of electrophysiological parameters.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 32,398 participants (96.6% White ethnicity) from the UK Biobank with analyzable LVEF and electrocardiogram data. Incident CCD was defined as the first occurrence of atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, or other conduction disorders. Stepwise backward Cox regression and sensitivity analyses evaluated the association between LVEF and CCD. Additionally, mediation analysis was performed to examine QRS duration, PQ interval, and corrected QT interval as potential mediators.

Results

During a mean follow-up of 6.96 ± 1.63 years, 484 incident CCD cases were identified. LVEF was an independent predictor of incident CCD, with each 1-standard deviation increase in LVEF associated with a 17% reduction in risk (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.77–0.89; p < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses across LVEF thresholds, competing risks, and exclusion of early events confirmed the robustness of these findings. Mediation analysis showed that PQ interval mediated 6% (p < 0.001), QRS duration mediated 17% (p < 0.001), and corrected QT interval mediated −3% (p = 0.002) of the total effect.

Conclusion

LVEF is independently associated with incident CCD, with electrophysiological parameters potentially explaining part of this association. These findings underscore the clinical relevance of myocardial mechano-electrical coupling in large-scale population settings.

背景:基于人群的证据表明,左室射血分数(LVEF)在心传导功能障碍(CCD)事件中的预测作用以及电生理参数的中介作用仍有待研究。本研究旨在探讨LVEF与CCD之间的关系,并探讨电生理参数的潜在介导作用。方法:这项前瞻性队列研究包括来自英国生物银行的32398名参与者(96.6%为白人),具有可分析的LVEF和心电图数据。偶发CCD定义为首次出现房室传导阻滞、左束支传导阻滞或其他传导障碍。逐步后向Cox回归和敏感性分析评估了LVEF与CCD之间的关系。此外,还进行了中介分析,以检验QRS持续时间、PQ间期和校正QT间期作为潜在的中介。结果:在平均随访6.96±1.63年期间,共发现CCD病例484例。LVEF是CCD事件的独立预测因子,LVEF每增加1个标准差与风险降低17%相关(调整后的风险比为0.83;95%可信区间为0.77-0.89;p)结论:LVEF与CCD事件独立相关,电生理参数可能部分解释了这种关联。这些发现强调了心肌机电耦合在大规模人群环境中的临床相关性。

Beyond Voltage: Independent Validation of the SV3 + SV4 Criterion for LVH Detection 超电压:LVH检测中SV3 + SV4准则的独立验证。

<p>We read with great interest the study by Yoosefi et al. proposing the SV3 + SV4 voltage sum—defined as the algebraic addition of the S-wave amplitudes in leads V3 and V4—as a new ECG criterion for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and exploring whether age, sex, and hypertension improve diagnostic performance (Yoosefi et al. <span>2025</span>). Using their thresholds, the authors reported a sensitivity of 0.609 and specificity of 0.669 overall; with sex-specific cutoffs, performance reached 0.500/0.809 in women and 0.556/0.910 in men (Yoosefi et al. <span>2025</span>). These values represent a modest improvement over traditional voltage criteria but still illustrate limited sensitivity, especially in women.</p><p>To assess generalizability, we externally validated SV3 + SV4 in a Mexican cohort (<i>n</i> = 664) using both the global and sex-specific thresholds. The non–sex-specific cutoff achieved an AUC of 0.685 (95% CI 0.644–0.726), accuracy 0.654, and sensitivity 0.606. Applying sex-specific thresholds increased specificity to 0.879 but reduced sensitivity to 0.412, indicating that the anticipated benefit of separate cutoffs did not translate into improved diagnostic balance.</p><p>We compared these findings with our recently published Marcos VCG-ECG model, a clinically interpretable, signal-only algorithm that integrates electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic features through a rule-based C5.0 classifier (De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether <span>2025</span>). Developed and validated against echocardiographic LVH, this model achieved an AUC of 0.779 (95% CI 0.715–0.844), accuracy 0.755, sensitivity 0.731, and specificity 0.775—outperforming SV3 + SV4 while maintaining full interpretability through explicit rule sets grounded in physiologic P-QRS-T wave and vector-loop relationships. Consistent with Yoosefi et al., adding demographic variables did not improve discrimination.</p><p>The authors also present an SVM analysis that achieved an F1-score of 0.714 in men (Yoosefi et al. <span>2025</span>). While encouraging, this estimate derives from a small dataset (<i>n</i> = 159; LVH 14.5%), which increases the risk of optimistic performance. Some feature combinations showed near-zero sensitivity but perfect specificity—formally “high-performing,” yet clinically uninformative. These results highlight the importance of class-balance awareness and transparent reporting of class-wise metrics in small ML datasets.</p><p>Taken together, three practical messages arise. (1) External validation remains essential, as SV3 + SV4 performance decreased outside the derivation cohort. (2) Voltage-only summation may have reached its diagnostic ceiling, given persistent sensitivity–specificity trade-offs (Faggiano et al. <span>2024</span>). (3) Interpretable, multiparametric ECG/VCG models may offer a better diagnostic equilibrium while preserving transparency and physiologic traceability (De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether <span>2025</span>; Huang et al.
我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Yoosefi等人提出的SV3 + SV4电压和(定义为导联V3和v4 s波振幅的代数相加)作为左心室肥厚(LVH)的新心电图标准的研究,并探讨了年龄、性别和高血压是否能改善诊断性能(Yoosefi et al. 2025)。使用他们的阈值,作者报告敏感性为0.609,特异性为0.669;按性别划分,女性的表现为0.500/0.809,男性为0.556/0.910 (yosefi et al. 2025)。这些值与传统电压标准相比略有改善,但仍然表明灵敏度有限,特别是在女性中。为了评估其普遍性,我们在墨西哥队列(n = 664)中使用全局阈值和性别特异性阈值对SV3 + SV4进行了外部验证。非性别特异性截断的AUC为0.685 (95% CI 0.644-0.726),准确度为0.654,灵敏度为0.606。应用性别特异性阈值将特异性提高到0.879,但将敏感性降低到0.412,这表明单独截止点的预期益处并没有转化为改善的诊断平衡。我们将这些发现与我们最近发表的Marcos VCG-ECG模型进行了比较,Marcos VCG-ECG模型是一种临床可解释的纯信号算法,通过基于规则的C5.0分类器(De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether 2025)整合了心电图和矢量心电图特征。根据超声心动图LVH进行开发和验证,该模型的AUC为0.779 (95% CI为0.715-0.844),准确度为0.755,灵敏度为0.731,特异性为0.775,优于SV3 + SV4,同时通过基于生理P-QRS-T波和矢量环关系的明确规则集保持完全的可解释性。与Yoosefi等人的结论一致,加入人口统计变量并没有改善歧视。作者还提出了一个支持向量机分析,男性的f1得分为0.714 (yosefi et al. 2025)。虽然令人鼓舞,但这一估计来自一个小数据集(n = 159; LVH 14.5%),这增加了乐观表现的风险。一些特征组合显示出接近零的敏感性,但完美的特异性——形式上“高性能”,但临床上缺乏信息。这些结果突出了类平衡意识和在小型ML数据集中透明报告类明智指标的重要性。综上所述,有三个实际的信息。(1)外部验证仍然是必要的,因为SV3 + SV4的性能在派生队列之外下降。(2)考虑到持续的敏感性-特异性权衡,仅电压求和可能已经达到其诊断上限(Faggiano et al. 2024)。(3)可解释的多参数ECG/VCG模型可以提供更好的诊断平衡,同时保持透明度和生理可追溯性(De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether 2025; Huang et al. 2025)。Yoosefi等人为重新审视基于ecg的LVH检测提供了有价值的刺激(Yoosefi等人,2025)。我们的外部验证表明,SV3 + SV4可能无法泛化相同的性能配置文件,特别是在特定于性别的截止值下。Marcos VCG-ECG等可解释的纯信号模型在实践中可以提供更高更均衡的准确性。我们支持进一步的多中心验证SV3 + SV4,并鼓励未来的标准以可解释的、形态丰富的ECG/VCG方法为基准,严格关注类别平衡和亚组表现(De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether 2025; Faggiano et al. 2024; Huang et al. 2025)。Fernando De la Garza Salazar:概念化,方法论,形式分析,软件,数据管理,可视化,调查,资源,监督,验证,撰写原始草案,审查和编辑,项目管理。作者没有什么可报道的。作者声明无利益冲突。支持本研究结果的数据可向通讯作者索取。由于隐私或道德限制,这些数据不会公开。

Some feature combinations showed near-zero sensitivity but perfect specificity—formally “high-performing,” yet clinically uninformative. These results highlight the importance of class-balance awareness and transparent reporting of class-wise metrics in small ML datasets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taken together, three practical messages arise. (1) External validation remains essential, as SV3 + SV4 performance decreased outside the derivation cohort. (2) Voltage-only summation may have reached its diagnostic ceiling, given persistent sensitivity–specificity trade-offs (Faggiano et al. &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). (3) Interpretable, multiparametric ECG/VCG models may offer a better diagnostic equilibrium while preserving transparency and physiologic traceability (De la Garza Salazar and Egenriether &lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;; Huang et al.","PeriodicalId":8074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12745654/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145848811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
