Patients Experiencing Unsuccessful Defibrillation From Implantable Cardiac Devices Remain at Elevated Risk Despite Procedural Management

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unsuccessful defibrillation therapy in patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) and ventricular tachytherapies may occur due to patient and/or device‐related factors; appropriate management strategies after failed defibrillation therapy have been incompletely described.

The Use of a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) as a Modern Treatment Option for End-Stage Chronic Heart Failure: Clinical Characteristics, Complications, and Short-Term Outcomes

Juvenis Scientia
Introduction. Chronic heart failure (CHF) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although guideline-directed pharmacotherapy can alleviate symptoms, it cannot restore the heart’s pump function.

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 ...

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.

Persistent Fibrosis in Heart Failure With a Reduced Ejection Fraction Linked to Phenotypic Differences in Human Cardiac Fibroblast Populations

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Myocardial fibrosis is prevalent in cardiomyopathies that result in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction treated with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) yields hemodynamic unloading ...
