Cardiac arrhythmias during pregnancy pose a serious threat to the health of both mother and foetus. Women with established tachyarrhythmias, congenital heart defects or channelopathies have the highest risk for development of arrhythmias.1,2 They also develop de novo or occur in women without apparent heart diseases. Tachyarrhythmias, including both supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias,… View more

The Risk of Atrial Arrhythmias in Inherited Primary Arrhythmia Syndromes The inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by mutations in genes encoding for cardiac ion channels. People affected by one of these inherited diseases have no overt structural cardiac abnormalities but are at higher risk of sudden cardiac death due to the occurrence of… View more

EHRA 2021: Long-Term Efficacy and Outcomes of the S-ICD Registry
Author(s): Pier D Lambiase Added: 2 years ago
Prof Pier Lambiase (UCL & Barts Heart Centre, London, UK) discusses the long-term efficacy and final outcomes of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) registry. The registry was conducted at 50 centres worldwide, in patients requiring an ICD for the treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Questions 1. What are the benefits of S-ICDs compared to ICDs? 2. What is the S… View more

Although there is no formal database of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States, the prevalence and incidence of CHD can be estimated and extrapolated from data in the Canadian providence.1 As such, the prevalence of CHD in the United States has been estimated in 2010 to be around 2.4 million people (1.4 million adults and 1 million children), with an incidence of between… View more

Supraventricular Arrhythmias in Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Carina Blomström-Lundqvist , Tatjana S Potpara , Helena Malmborg Added: 3 years ago
With the advent of successful surgical repairs and modern diagnostic techniques, an increasing number of patients with congenital heart disease survive to adulthood. Despite these improvements, the surgical corrective atrial incisions performed during childhood lead to subsequent myocardial scarring that have the inherent risk of harbouring substrates for macro-reentrant atrial tachycardias … View more

The reported incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on the number of trivial lesions included, such as atrial and ventricular septal defects (ASDs and VSDs). Moderate-to-severe CHD numbers remain stable with 6 per 1,000 live births.1 Survival into adulthood has improved dramatically over the last 25 years and has been driven mainly by a decreased mortality in moderate and severe… View more
