Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...

The first cardioverter defibrillator implanted in Central Africa

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
Sudden cardiac deaths, which account for approximately 350 000 deaths each year, is a major health care problem. Antiarrhythmic drugs have not been reliable in preventing sudden cardiac death. Although -blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors,

Arrhythmias associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy—A clinical perspective

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy but are associated with a growing spectrum of cardiovascular immune‐related adverse events. Among these, arrhythmias represent a rare yet potentially life‐threatening complication. ICI‐induced arrhythmias encompass a wide clinical spectrum, including atrial arrhythmias, conduction ...

Safety and Utility of Smartphone‐Based Heart Monitors in Pediatric Patients With Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Smartphone heart monitors in pediatric CIEDs: A pilot study. Smartphone heart monitors did not induce EMI in children with CIEDs, enabling reliable heart rate measurement and accurate identification of ventricular non‐captures. ABSTRACT Background Portable heart monitors enable on‐demand electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and enhance symptom‐rhythm ...

Risks of Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy and Hospitalization Are Increased Around Device-Detected Atrial High-Rate Episodes Longer Than 6 min. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Device‐detected atrial high‐rate episodes (AHREs) lasting ≥ 6 min identify a transient period of increased clinical risk in ICD patients. During the 60‐day peri‐AHRE period, risks of appropriate ICD shock, any appropriate ICD therapy, and cardiac hospitalization were significantly increased.

Mental Disorders After Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation in Young Individuals

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has raised concerns about psychological distress in young adults. We evaluated the risk of incident mental disorders after CIED implantation.

Terminal S Wave Pattern in Lead V3 as a Simple Marker for Ventricular Tachycardia Risk Stratification in Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT). This risk is most commonly related to slow conduction within the septal isthmus, which is defined as the region between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) patch and adjacent valvular annuli.

Time‐Dependent Diagnostic Yield and Therapeutic Impact of Implantable Loop Recorders, Brugada Syndrome as the Exception

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Diagnostic yield and therapeutic impact varied substantially according to the indication for implantation. Actionable diagnoses were concentrated in the early follow‐up period for syncope and palpitations, whereas late atrial fibrillation detection after cryptogenic stroke could still modify antithrombotic management. In contrast, patients with Brugada

Individual and Community‐Level Differences in Use of Contemporary Electrophysiology Procedures in the United States

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Although the availability of electrophysiology technologies has expanded in the United States, little is known about how sociodemographic factors influence their use. This national study of the Medicare population aims to (1) examine trends in

Brugada Syndrome in the Pediatric Population: Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Outcome—Results of the German Multicenter Study COGIA

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
The study examines 76 patients of the German multicenter study COGIA with suspected BrS in 12 centers in Germany. Thirty‐nine patients met the current ESC diagnostic criteria, 34 of whom met the Shanghai Score criteria. Four major arrhythmic events (ACA, SCD, appropriate ICD shock) occurred in the cohort (5.3%), all in the group of patients fulfilling ...
