Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia worldwide and is expected to increase in the coming decades.1,2 It currently affects up to 3 % of Western populations aged 20 years or older, and the number of affected individuals in the EU will increase from about 7 million to almost 13 million by 2030.3–5 This growing epidemic is not only caused by the natural ageing of the… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are global epidemics that began more than a century ago, and their association with an ageing general population has brought about an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and rising healthcare costs.1,2 More than 50 % of patients with permanent AF have a concurrent diagnosis of HF and this proportion is expected to rise.3 It is well established that… View more

Most mutations of the LMNA gene affect the heart, causing a dilated cardiomyopathy, ususally with conduction defect and ventricular arrhythmia, with or without skeletal muscle involvement. Although a relatively rare disease, cardiologists should be aware of laminopathies (diseases caused by LMNA gene mutations) because of the particularly aggressive course compared with most other… View more

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a clinical entity identified in 1992 by Brugada brothers from a file of patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac death (SCD).1 Of these patients, some had a specific electrocardiogram (ECG) appearance characterised by an incomplete right bundle branch block associated with an ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It quickly became apparent that this… View more

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are very common cardiac arrhythmias, detected on up to 75% of Holter monitors of ambulatory patients.1 Although PVCs in the setting of advanced structural heart disease have independent negative prognostic implications,2 the majority of PVCs are quite benign, associated with neither symptoms nor signals of future harm. For an important minority, PVCs… View more
