S-ICD Implantation "Tips and Tricks"
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was developed to provide protection against sudden cardiac death. Despite being effective in terminating ventricular arrhythmias, traditional transvenous ICDs appeared over time to have certain limitations ...

Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Epicardial cardioverter defibrillator implantation due to post-fontan ventricular tachycardia
Long-term survival of patients submitted to a Fontan procedure is reduced because of arrhythmias. Late post-Fontan ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare, but it can be fatal. Consequently, the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between
