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,

Follow‐Up of Left‐Ventricular Assist Device Patients With Telemonitoring: A National Retrospective Multicentric Study on the Satelia LVAD Web Application

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
We evaluated the usefulness of remote monitoring for advanced heart failure patients using left‐ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in France. A national, retrospective study on a web application (Satelia) at nine locations was conducted. Specialized remote monitoring could facilitate LVAD follow‐ups and improve outcomes.

Oral factor Xa inhibitors for stroke prevention in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation – Recent evidence from the NOAH-AFNET 6 and ARTESiA trials

Cardiologia Hungarica
Device-detected atrial fibrillation (AF), also known as atrial high rate episodes, is a frequent finding in patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device such as a pacemaker, or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or loop recorder.

Population‐Based Study Found Low Risk of Misdiagnosing Long QT Syndrome as Breath‐Holding Spells in Swedish Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim An electrocardiogram is commonly recommended in breath‐holding spell management, mainly to rule out long QT syndrome. This retrospective study investigated the risk of long QT syndrome being misdiagnosed as breath‐holding spells in a paediatric population in southern Sweden.

The anti‐fibrotic effects of novel heart failure pharmacotherapies in advanced heart failure patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Novel heart failure (HF) pharmacotherapies, including angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), may confer cardiovascular benefits by attenuating myocardial fibrosis. However, direct evidence from human failing myocardial samples is limited.

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.

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

Phenotyping of acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: real‐world outcomes in a cohort of older patients

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Previous studies have identified distinct subgroups (phenogroups) of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aims to identify distinct phenotypes in older patients with HFpEF hospitalised for acute heart failure (AHF) and investigate the relationship between subgroups and outcomes ...
