Remote Monitoring for Follow-up of Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Author(s): Niraj Varma , Renato Pietro Ricci , Loredana Morichelli Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Prior to the emergence of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACS), nearly all patients were prescribed vitamin K antagonists for thromboembolic prophylaxis in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, Bayer/Johnson & Johnson), an oral factor Xa inhibitor, is now one of the most frequently prescribed NOACs used for this indication.1,2 ROCKET-AF (Rivaroxaban Once Daily Oral Direct… View more

Total Recall Mark’s intellect seems to have been the driving force of much of his behaviour. His gifts were substantial. He apparently had a total recall memory on all sorts of topics, not only cardiac electrophysiology and electrocardiography, but details of individual patients, Patriots football, fine wine and much more internal medicine than I have ever mastered. He was in the habit of… View more

The cornerstone of AF is electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV). In patients with non-paroxysmal AF, PV isolation alone is insufficient, and one needs to modify the atrial arrhythmogenic substrate. AF ablation is now a common procedure and mostly performed using a transvenous, endocardial approach with catheters. For patients with persistent AF however, this procedure is not sufficient… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Cardiac pathologists and electrophysiologists have studied the atrioventricular (AV) node for more than 100 years, since 1906, when Tawara first described the inferior extensions of the AV node in the human heart.1 Still, this important cardiac structure remains “a riddle wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma”, to recall the famous Churchill quotation. Perhaps the same can be said about… 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 (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
