EHRA 22: Real-world Data on S-ICD in Heart Failure Patients
Author(s): Marco Schiavone Added: 2 years ago
In this short interview recorded at EHRA 2022, Dr Marco Schiavone (Luigi Sacco University Hospital, Milan, IT) outlines the findings of a real-world meta-analysis designed to assess the clinical outcomes of S-ICD in HF patients from the largest European Registry. Results suggest that over 2 years, there were no significant differences in appropriate and inappropriate shocks between patients with… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Amar Trivedi , Bradley P Knight Added: 3 years ago
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic sarcomeric disorder associated with myocyte disarray and scar deposition, is intimately linked to sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. In the first modern published description of the disease in 1958, Dr Donald Teare describes the case of a 14-year-old male who collapsed while being chased around his school’s playground… View more

Pacing and Defibrillators in Complex Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Henry Chubb , Mark O’Neill , Eric Rosenthal Added: 3 years ago
Device therapy is increasingly employed in the management of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Bradycardias, most often related to sinus nodal dysfunction (SND) or atrioventricular nodal (AVN) block, may necessitate the implantation of pacing devices, while malignant arrhythmias may be treated by appropriate use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, there is a complex… View more

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection in Patients at Risk
Author(s): Khaldoun G Tarakji , Christopher R Ellis , Pascal Defaye , et al Added: 3 years ago
Over the last few decades an increasing body of evidence has supported the role of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D [with defibrillator] and CRT-P [without defibrillator]) in improving quality of life and survival.1 In addition, there has been a… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Hussam Ali , Pierpaolo Lupo , Riccardo Cappato Added: 3 years ago
Numerous large clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in selected populations.1,2 These results and advances in defibrillation therapies have led to an impressive expansion of ICD implants and indications in recent decades. Although initially focusing on secondary prevention, current ICD indications… View more
