Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1095-1112, April 2025.
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.

Association of BMI with adherence and outcome in heart failure patients treated with wearable cardioverter defibrillator

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1295-1303, April 2025.
Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Atrial flutter

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001
Atrial flutter (AFl) is an arrhythmia resulting from reentry in a macroreentrant circuit, most commonly in the right atrium. Typical AFl uses the narrow isthmus of right atrial tissue between the tricuspid valve annulus and the inferior vena cava orifice as part of the macroreentrant circuit.

Management of atrial flutter [PDF]

open access: possibleCurrent Cardiology Reports, 2000
Typical atrial flutter is a macroreentrant arrhythmia of the right atrium. The isthmus area between the tricuspid annulus, the inferior vena cava, and the ostium of the coronary sinus is a critical zone of the reentry circle. Atrial flutter has been treated with class I and III antiarrhytmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm, with moderate success ...

Pathophysiology of Atrial Flutter

Annual Review of Medicine, 1998
Atrial flutter is a macroreentrant tachyarrhythmia most often contained within the right atrium. Typical atrial flutter is defined on an electrocardiogram by the classic “sawtooth” pattern of flutter waves with negative polarity in leads II, III, and aVF.

Management of Atrial Flutter

Cardiology in Review, 2001
Atrial flutter is a macroreentrant arrhythmia that is associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. In the United States, 200,000 new cases of atrial flutter can be expected to develop every year with a male to female ratio of over 2:1. This arrhythmia is associated with atrial fibrillation in over half the cases.

Pseudo atrial flutter

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2007
Atrial flutter typically has a cycle length of 200 ms (300 cycles/min or 5 Hz); with 4:1 conduction through the AV node, this would lead to a ventricular rate of 75 bpm. We present a case of a patient with a Parkinsonian tremor at a frequency of 300 cycles/min that masqueraded as atrial flutter on the limb leads of a 12-lead ECG.

Atrial flutter

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1988
Atrial flutter is a supraventricular tachydysrhythmia believed to arise from electrophysiologic disturbances in the atria. It tends to be an unstable rhythm and is usually associated with intrinsic cardiac or pulmonary disease or adverse extrinsic influences on the heart.

Atrial flutter in infancy

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1969
Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation present difficult problems in management, particularly during infancy. The clinical experience with 6 personally observed and 30 reported cases of infantile atrial flutter is described. Two types of flutter are distinguished: type I (congenital), which occurs prior to birth or within the first week of life ...

Congenital Atrial Flutter

Chest, 1975
Two cases of congenital atrial flutter, one of which was documented electrocardiographically before birth, are reported. In both patients sinus rhythm was restored with digoxin treatment; in one patient the transition was preceded by various arrhythmias. No cardiac malformation was found in either case, and no materal disease occurred during pregnancy.
