Patients implanted with a pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) require regular follow-ups to control the proper function of the implanted device. These technical checks have traditionally been performed manually in-office using a dedicated device programmer. In 1971, transtelephonic monitoring was introduced to remotely follow-up basic parameters (such as battery status…

Monitoring after implant of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) forms a part of both device and patient care, and is the responsibility of the implanting centre. Monitoring is challenged by the increasing number and technical complexity of implanted devices coupled with the increasing clinical complexity of the patient population. Current practice is based on quarterly to…

Atrial Septal Defects and Patent Foramen Ovale
Nomenclature
The atrial septum is a complex structure, with the true septum comprised of two layers containing a potential flap valve. The septum primum extends from caudal to cranial within the atria, on the left side of the septum secundum. The septum secundum is a crescent-shaped infolding of the atrial roof, extending from the anterosuperior…
