Use of an antibacterial envelope in patients at high risk of infection implanted with a cardiac implantable electronic device results in a reduction in infection and an increased quality of life. The incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio is dominant (increases quality of life without increasing cost).

Supraventricular Tachycardia Ablation in the Elderly—Characteristics and Outcomes
This single‐center retrospective study found that supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation is safe and effective in younger and elderly patients. It should be considered for all symptomatic individuals regardless of age. However, the type of SVT and the presence of comorbidities, including frailty, should be considered in the clinical decision ...
