Heart Failure
Author(s): Antonio Sorgente , Riccardo Cappato Added: 3 years ago
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is a well-established non-pharmacological treatment option for patients with refractory symptomatic heart failure (HF) already under optimal medical therapy.1 CRT is founded on the principle that interventricular conduction disturbances and especially left bundle branch block (LBBB) are deleterious to cardiac performance and may contribute to the systolic… View more

Author(s): Angelo Auricchio Added: 3 years ago
Despite the fact that more than 20 years have passed since the clinical introduction of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), one of the key questions – do we need an ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in CRT patients? – is still unanswered. Prospective Randomised Controlled Trials Multiple prospective randomised controlled trials have been conducted to establish the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Ventricular arrhythmias are a therapeutic challenge. They occur frequently in clinical practice, are found in patients with and without structural heart disease, and most importantly, are unpredictable and potentially deadly. Patients with a history of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and VF or those at high risk for such arrhythmias, may require an ICD to prevent sudden cardiac arrest… View more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. The yearly incidence of SCD is estimated to be 3,000,000 worldwide and between 300,000–450,000 in both the US and Western Europe.1,2 The survival rate for SCD is <1 % worldwide and close to 5 % in the developed world.3 In the past, cardiac arrest was thought to be most commonly due to ventricular… View more

Since the introduction of CRT more than 20 years ago, its role in mild to severe systolic heart failure has become well established. CRT has been shown to decrease mortality, reduce heart failure hospitalisations and improve functional status in patients with NYHA class II–IV heart failure and QRS prolongation, most commonly with LBBB pattern.1 One of the major limitations of CRT implementation… View more

Implantable cardiac devices such as implantable cardioverter- defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices lead to improved survival and better clinical outcomes in appropriately selected patients with heart failure (HF) with a reduced ejection fraction (EF). Although there are significant sex differences in the aetiology, pathophysiology and clinical course of HF,… View more
