Stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class over time was much more frequent than an improvement or a worsening. Follow‐up NYHA class assessment, but not change in NYHA class over time, was independently associated with better prognosis. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

Predicting Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in Patients With Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Improvement Following Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy. [PDF]
In CRT‐D patients with LVEF above guideline indications, LVEF 36%–40%, absence of LBBB, and a history of VTA increase the risk for future VTA. These patients require close monitoring despite improvement beyond guideline recommendations. ABSTRACT Background Patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT‐D) often ...

Abstract Aims Refractory electrical storm (ES) is a life‐threatening condition in which heart transplantation (HTx) can be proposed. Nevertheless, the shortage of donors and subsequent outcomes question its place as a rescue strategy. We aim to describe the prognosis of ES patients listed for HTx but not transplanted.

RVD predicts outcome after M‐TEER for PMR. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PMR, primary mitral regurgitation; RVD, right ventricular dysfunction. Abstract Aims Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), as expressed by right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, has recently been identified as a strong outcome predictor in patients undergoing ...

Safe application of extensive radiotherapy to a cardiac resynchronization device
Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices undergoing radiotherapy (RT) are prone to the risk of device failure. Guidelines and manufacturer's instructions are lacking practical recommendations for cumulative radiation doses to pacemakers or ...

Socio‐economic status and the effect of guideline‐directed medical therapy in the STRONG‐HF study
Abstract Aims Acute heart failure (AHF) impacts millions globally, with outcomes varying based on socio‐economic status (SES). Methods SES measured by annual household income, years of education and medical insurance coverage. Each patient's income and education level relative to the median or mean, respectively, in the country was calculated, and ...
