Significance of myocardial tenascin-C expression in left ventricular remodelling and long-term outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2015
Aim Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a variety of causes, and no useful approach to predict left ventricular (LV) remodelling and long-term outcome has yet been established.

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

Sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic heart failure undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting results from the STICH randomized clinical trial (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) [PDF]

, 2017
Background—The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure following CABG has not been examined in a contemporary clinical trial of surgical revascularization. This analysis describes the incidence, timing and clinical predictors of

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
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 ...

Recurrent cardiac arrest and complete atrioventricular block due to idiopathic coronary vasospasm: A case report

Heliyon
Recurrent complete atrioventricular block induced by coronary spasm is rare. We present a case of a 47-year-old woman who suffered from two episodes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest within one year due to complete atrioventricular block caused by ...

Simultaneous leadless pacemaker and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implantation—When vascular options have run out

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
An end‐stage renal failure patient who was planned for a left brachioaxillary arteriovenous graft required an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator for secondary prevention of ventricular tachycardia and a pacemaker for complete heart block but was ...

The implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 2000
AbstractVentricular arrhythmias remain a major cause of cardiovascular mortality. Therapy for serious ventricular arrhythmias has evolved over the past decade, from treatment primarily with antiarrhythmic drugs to implanted devices. The implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) is the best therapy for patients who have experienced an episode of ...

Intermuscular Two‐Incision Technique for Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation: Results from a Multicenter Registry

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2017
The traditional technique for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S‐ICD) implantation, which involves three incisions and a subcutaneous pocket, is associated with possible complications, including inappropriate interventions. The aim of

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
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 ...

Ventricular arrhythmias following coronary artery bypass grafting for ischemic cardiomyopathy: When to insert an implanted cardioverter defibrillator?Central MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objectives: The study objectives were to determine the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of ventricular arrhythmias after coronary artery bypass grafting and to evaluate the impact of implantable cardioverter defibrillators on the survival of ...
