Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Ngai-Yin Chan Added: 3 years ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder1 and in a recently conducted community screening programme in Hong Kong the total burden of AF in the population was estimated to be 0.77% in 2016. This is predicted to increase to 1.1% in 2030 due to population ageing, see Figure 1.2 As in other developed countries and regions with ageing populations, AF has become an… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
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

Cardiac Pacing - Is Telemonitoring Now Essential?
Author(s): Haran Burri Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Stratification and Prevention in Chagas Disease: A Non-systematic Review of the Literature
Author(s): Roberto Keegan , Cynthia Yeung , Adrian Baranchuk Added: 3 years ago
Chagas disease is an important public health problem in Latin America. Almost 25% of the population (approximately 65 million individuals) are at risk of infection and another 6 million people are affected.1 However, migration and globalisation have resulted in the increased presence of Chagas disease worldwide, particularly in the US and Europe. Chagas disease is caused by a parasite, the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Federico Lombardi Added: 3 years ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia with a relevant socio-economic impact.1–3 Patients with atrial fibrillation are characterised by symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath; they have reduced exercise capacity and are subject to a higher risk of thromboembolic events. In spite of a relatively simple diagnosis, management of AF patients is difficult for… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Katrina Mountfort , Reinoud Knops , Johannes Sperzel , et al Added: 3 years ago
Based on Presentations at Nanostim Sponsored Symposium Held at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2013, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2 September 2013 In 1958, the world’s first patient was implanted with a pacemaker. It brought numerous benefits, the most important of which was increased survival. Since then, pacemaker technology has evolved with the development of improved device… View more
