Techniques for Identification of Left Ventricular Asynchrony for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2005
The most recent treatment option of medically refractory heart failure includes cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by biventricular pacing in selected patients in NYHA functional class III or IV heart failure. The widely used marker to indicate left

eGFR slope as predictor of mortality in heart failure patients

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1217-1226, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) leads to an imbalance between heart and kidney function, resulting in poor outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectory in HF patients remains unclear. We analysed electronic health records (EHRs) of real‐world HF patients, assessing eGFR trajectories and ...

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 912-922, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

The neurochemical basis of photic entrainment of the circadian pacemaker [PDF]

Circadian rhythmicity in mammals is controlled by the action of a light-entrainable hypothalamus, in association with two cell clusters known as the supra chiasmatic nuclei (SCN).

Left Ventricular Pacing In Patients With Congestive Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2006
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) using biventricular (BIV) pacing has proved its effectiveness to correct myocardial asynchrony and improve clinical status of patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) and widened QRS. Despite a different

Case Report: Aveir implantation in an 8.7-year-old, 25-kg pediatric patient with mitochondrial disease via internal jugular vein

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
IntroductionMitochondrial disorders frequently precipitate progressive conduction system degeneration, with complete heart block representing a critical therapeutic challenge in pediatric populations, which ultimately requires permanent pacemaker ...

Temporary Endocavitary Pacemakers and their Use and Misuse: The Least is Better

Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2014
Temporary pacemakers are classically indicated for severe bradydysrhythmia, especially when the clinical settings require prompt intervention. Implantation of a temporary pacemaker is not a benign procedure since it may be associated with serious adverse

Cardiogenic shock mortality according to Aetiology in a Mediterranean cohort: Results from the Shock‐CAT study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1336-1345, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

Third-degree heart block in thalassemia major: A case report [PDF]

, 2012
Background: First and second-degree heart blocks are partly common rhythm disorders in thalassemic patients but complete heart block is a very rare complication of iron overload cardiomyopathy.
