Despite having positional regularity learning performance comparable to the controls, the children with dyslexia were poorer at learning left-right structured characters than top-bottom structured characters in high- and low-consistency conditions. Moreover, they showed difficulties in mapping a given sound or meaning to a specific character compared with the typically developing controls. These findings suggest that children with dyslexia have deficits in some, though not all, aspects of statistical learning of character orthography, which may reflect their difficulties in coping with distractors and inconsistency of orthographic input. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity among patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Direct current (DC) cardioversion is one of the strategies for rhythm control. However, the safety and feasibility of immediate DC cardioversion after MitraClip are not elucidated. In this study, patients with symptomatic severe MR who underwent MitraClip were included. After fixing the MR, synchronized DC cardioversion was attempted for those with AF. A total of consecutive 60 patients, 36 subjects (60%), comorbid with AF. DC cardioversion was performed in 30 patients (mean age of 76.0±9.3years), and the successful conversion was achieved in 15 patients (50%). There was no any adverse event related to the cardioversion. Subjects with sustained conversion to SR experienced significant improvement in 6MWT (failed 285±110-308±135m, P=.278; successful 269±109m-328±78, P=.047) and reduction in NT-proBNP level (failed 4411±7401-3296±4299ng/mL, P=.217; successful 4094±2735-2353±2856ng/mL, P=.026) at 1month.
