Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is associated with increased mortality in patients with a history of MI. ICD implantation is currently the standard of care for the prevention of sudden cardiac death, and contributes to a reduction of total mortality.1 Despite effective treatment of ventricular arrhythmias with the use of anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) or shocks, ICDs do not prevent VT. Furthermore,…

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease globally, representing 31% of all global deaths.1 The traditional management of CVD has largely depended on the face-to-face clinic visits once the clinical events occurred. CVD contributes to and exacerbates the economic burden on households.2 However, most of these complications could be avoided with early diagnosis and…

Dear Sir,
We read Dr Zografos’ response to our article1 with interest. He agrees with the findings of our review but highlights two important issues for further discussion, which we address below.
Right ventricular lead position
Dr Zografos points out that randomised comparisons of different right ventricular lead positions have not shown superiority of septal pacing over apical pacing.2 This…

Heart failure (HF) and AF share common pathophysiologic pathways and often coexist.1 Indeed, HF has been identified as the strongest predictor of AF in a Framingham Heart study population-based cohort.2 Moreover, HF and AF are involved in a vicious pathophysiological interplay. HF promotes AF mainly through raised atrial filling pressures, abnormal calcium handling, neurohormonal activation and…

Dr Emma Svennberg (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, SW) summarises the findings from the Systematic ECG Screening for Atrial Fibrillation Among 75-Year-Old Subjects in the Region of Stockholm and Halland, Sweden (STROKESTOP Study). The aim of this study is to determine whether screening for atrial fibrillation by intermittent ECG recording and initiation of anticoagulation treatment among high…
