Implementation of guideline‐recommended medical therapy for patients with heart failure in Europe

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 790-798, April 2025.
Abstract Physicians' adherence to guideline‐recommended heart failure (HF) treatment remains suboptimal, especially regarding the target doses. In particular, there is evidence that non‐cardiologists are less compliant with HF guideline recommendations. This is likely to have a detrimental impact on patients' survival, readmissions and quality of life.

Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator knowledge and end-of-life device deactivation: A cross-sectional survey

open access: yes, 2017
Background: End-of-life implantable cardioverter defibrillator deactivation discussions should commence before device implantation and be ongoing, yet many implantable cardioverter defibrillators remain active in patients’ last days.

Comparative performance of risk prediction indices for mortality or readmission following heart failure hospitalization

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1227-1236, April 2025.
Comparative performance of 7 risk prediction indices in patients hospitalized for heart failure. In this cohort of 1206 patients, the LENT index offered the greatest discrimination, calibration, and overall accuracy in predicting 30‐day composite all‐cause mortality or readmission following hospitalization for heart failure.

Single-Pocket-Incision Generator Exchange From a Subcutaneous to an Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Arrhythm
Subcutaneous‐to‐extravascular implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator exchange can create a practical challenge: the existing subcutaneous generator pocket lies posteriorly, whereas the new extravascular generator site is planned more anteriorly. In this case, fluoroscopic planning showed adjacent generator sites, allowing a single intervening pocket ...
