Dr David H Birnie (University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, CA) discusses updates from the Prevention of Arrhythmia Device Infection (PADIT) trial and the development of the PADIT infection risk score at HRS 2019.
1. What is the PADIT trial and what does it aim to answer?
2. What are your findings to date and what conclusions (if any) can be made?
3. What further research, in your…

The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) for management of cardiac conditions has over the last few years been associated with higher infection rates.1 Expanded CIED use alone cannot account for this rise,2–4 which involves both patient- and device-related factors. Indeed patients are tending to be older and presenting with co-morbidities, while devices are becoming…

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…

Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is effective and safe. However, infections related to CIED treatment may have devastating consequences, causing significant morbidity, mortality and generating considerable healthcare costs.1–6 Temporal trends in CIED treatment indicate a disproportional increase in CIED infections relative to implantation rates.1,7,8 Reasons for this trend are…
