A Case of Silicone Allergy Induced by a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
A 54‐year‐old man developed a granulomatous lesion 7 months after S‐ICD implantation and generator exposure 6 years later. Negative infection workup and positive patch testing supported silicone‐related hypersensitivity. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of silicone allergy associated with an S‐ICD system.

Midterm Efficacy of SubcutAneous Implantable CardioVErter‐Defibrillator in ≤ 18 Year‐Old CHILDREN (SAVE CHILDREN‐II Registry)

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
S‐ICD therapy demonstrated favorable mid‐term safety and efficacy in pediatric patients, with durable sensing performance and a low incidence of device‐related infection. ABSTRACT Background The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (S‐ICD) avoids transvenous leads and is a promising option for sudden cardiac death (SCD) prevention in ...

Bisoprolol Treatment and Adherence in Pediatric Patients With Genotype‐Positive Long QT Syndrome

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
LQTS is commonly treated with non‐selective beta‐blockers. In this study on Finnish pediatric patients with genotype positive LQTS1 or LQTS2, most with a Finnish founder mutation, the beta‐1‐selective bisoprolol was the most commonly used beta‐blocker with good adherence, effective heart rate control, and no cardiac events observed during follow‐up ...

Clinical Utility of HeartInsight Score Variability in the Management of Patients With Heart Failure

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
HeartInsight threshold elevation alone may be insufficient to predict heart failure hospitalization. Monitoring daily variability in HeartInsight score may improve prediction of heart failure exacerbation, even in patients without threshold elevation or alert activation.

Successful Defibrillation After Conversion From Fixed‐Tilt to Tuned‐Duration Waveform

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Fixed‐tilt biphasic shocks may become ineffective in high‐impedance states because phase‐2 over‐prolongation disrupts optimal charge neutralization. Waveform tuning based on membrane time constants, as implemented by DeFT Response, shortens phase durations to physiologic ranges and lowers the defibrillation threshold.

Association of QRS Notch Resolution During LV‐Only Fusion Pacing With Early Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling After Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
QRS notch/slur resolution during LV‐only fusion pacing, combined with an LV‐only pacing percentage ≥ 50% at 1 month, was independently associated with early left ventricular reverse remodeling and may help guide post‐implant CRT optimization. ABSTRACT Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in patients with heart failure ...
