Predictors of Late Mortality in D‐Transposition of the Great Arteries After Atrial Switch Repair: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Existing data on predictors of late mortality and prevention of sudden cardiac death after atrial switch repair surgery for D‐transposition of the great arteries (D‐TGA) are heterogeneous and limited by statistical power.

Intravascular Lithotripsy to Facilitate Extraction of Very Old Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Leads

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background One of the challenges encountered when extracting transvenous leads with long dwell times is the presence of dense calcifications encasing the leads. This is the most likely reason for failure to advance a laser extraction sheath.

Prognostic Value of Small Coved‐Type ST‐Segment Area in Patients With Spontaneous Type 1 Brugada Syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Electrical and structural abnormalities in Brugada syndrome lead to a smaller coved‐type ST‐segment area. A reduced ST‐segment area may identify patients at elevated risk of ventricular fibrillation. ABSTRACT Background Risk stratification in Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains challenging.

Efficacy and Safety of Dronedar one in Overweight and Obesity: Post Hoc Analysis of the ATHENA Trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Obesity represents a prevalent condition with multiple comorbidities, including atrial fibrillation (AF). Dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic drug (AAD), has demonstrated efficacy in patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Nocturnal Hypoxemic Burden Predicts Mortality in Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Trial design and results on hypoxemic burden in the context of heart transplantation. ABSTRACT Risk stratification for patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) awaiting heart transplantation (HTX) is crucial. Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent comorbidity, yet the impact of its resultant hypoxemic burden remains unclear in this ...

A Spinning Nightmare of Twiddler's Syndrome?

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Twiddler's syndrome is a known complication of CIED implantation. Most published cases of Twiddler's syndrome are described as being secondary to patient manipulation of the pulse generator leading to horizontal rotation and “reeling” of the pacemaker leads around the generator. The authors of this paper present a case of an 81‐year‐old female

Utilization and Prognosis of Cardiac Device Implantation in AL Versus ATTR Amyloidosis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis can cause congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart blocks, which frequently require cardiac device implantation (CDI). However, the differences between light chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis CDI requirements are unknown. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using the

Early Mobilization After Pacemaker Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is leading to a rise in procedure‐related complications. Objective This trial aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of early mobilization and the possibility of same‐day discharge following permanent pacemaker implantation.

Incidence and Determinants of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy With Loss of and Impaired Consciousness

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are important in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, some appropriate ICD therapies may be considered unnecessary, delivered when patients do not experience symptoms of hemodynamic instability such as loss of consciousness.
