The Automatic External Cardioverter-Defibrillator [PDF]
In-hospital cardiac arrest remains a major problem but new technologies allowing fully automatic external defibrillation are available. These technologies allow the concept of “external therapeutic monitoring” of lethal arrhythmias.

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment
Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

ABSTRACT Background Data comparing clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of bioprosthetic valve fracturing (BVF) and “standard”‐postdilatation during valve‐in‐valve transcatheter heart valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) are lacking. The authors aimed to analyze hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of BVF compared to “standard”‐postdilatation during ViV‐TAVI ...

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Prior to Self‐Expanding TAVI: The BAVSE‐TAVI Registry
ABSTRACT Background Direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach is feasible and safe compared to predilatation‐TAVI. Certain clinical and computerized tomography (CT)‐based characteristics might indicate the need for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before TAVI, especially with self‐expanding valves.

Barriers to incorporating pharmacogenetics into routine clinical practice in the United States are well documented. Initial surveys by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) in 2009 and 2010 identified barriers across four key domains that have hindered the widespread adoption of clinical pharmacogenetic testing.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure – Beyond the standard
Cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT- defibrillator and CRT-pacemaker) implantations have increased remarkably over the last decade. Conventionally these devices are used in patients with symptomatic systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction ...
