Inter‐atrial block as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with HFpEF

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 2287-2297, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Inter‐atrial block (IAB), a marker of electrical atrial dysfunction, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and adverse events in various populations. The prognostic impact of IAB in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown.

Real‐world outcomes in cardiac resynchronization therapy patients: Primary results of the SMART registry

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1832-1847, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is guideline recommended for the treatment of symptomatic heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and prolonged QRS. However, patients with common comorbidities, such as persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), are often under‐represented in clinical trials.

Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio: link to congestion, inflammation, and mortality in outpatients with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1571-1582, June 2025.
Association of Neutrophil Count, Lymphocyte Count and Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with All‐cause Mortality. We enrolled 4702 ambulatory patients referred to a local HF clinic in the UK (The Hull LifeLab), of whom 813 had detailed echocardiographic assessment (top left).

Global myocardial work index predicts response to biventricular pacing in patients with non‐left bundle branch block

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 2210-2224, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF) and wide QRS complex. However, patients with non‐left bundle branch block (LBBB) show a poor response to CRT. This study evaluated myocardial work estimated by pressure–strain loops on echocardiography for predicting response to CRT in ...

Long‐term of epicardial radiofrequency ablation and benefit for recurrent ventricular arrhythmia in Brugada syndrome: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2025.
Epicardial radiofrequency ablation significantly reduces recurrent ventricular arrhythmias and ICD shocks in Brugada syndrome, with excellent long‐term safety and no reported mortality. Epicardial ablation is an effective strategy for sustained rhythm stabilization. Abstract Background Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a rare cardiac channelopathy linked to an

Acute effect of multipoint pacing and fused AV delay in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2025.
MPP or a fused AV delay can improve hemodynamics compared with c‐CRT or a short AV delay. Combining MPP and fused AV delay significantly improves hemodynamics. QRS shortening can predict increased dp/dt; however, the effect was not the same between LV and BiV pacing.

Accuracy and interpretability of smartwatch electrocardiogram for early detection of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2025.
The smartwatch ECG algorithm achieved 86% sensitivity and 94% specificity with an sAUC of 96%, while manual readings by trained personnel reached 96% sensitivity, 95% specificity, and an sAUC of 98% in a brand‐specific subgroup analysis. These findings demonstrate that the smartwatch ECG detects AFib, although 3% of results are unreadable.

The signal quality of tripolar Laplacian electrogram compared to bipolar electrogram in cardiac electrophysiology

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2025.
Tripolar Laplacian electrogram (TLE) is one of the multipolar electrograms. TLE has a lower voltage amplitude than bipolar electrograms for all activation patterns and wavefront angles, and it removes more noise and far‐field potentials. TLE is useful for analyzing low‐voltage and fractionated electrograms regardless of the wavefront angle.

Critical Role of Skin in Pathogenesis: Bidirectional Crosstalk Between Skin and Multiple Organs

MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
The skin functions as both a protective barrier and an autonomous immune organ, maintaining dynamic interactions with internal organs. This review analyzes skin‐organ crosstalk mechanisms, highlighting key cytokines (particularly IL‐17A) and microbial metabolites that mediate interorgan communication.

Atrioventricular conduction abnormalities are associated with poor outcome following intermittent umbilical cord occlusions in fetal sheep

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 1207-1217, June 2025.
Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring of fetal sheep heart during intermittent umbilical cord occlusions gradually leading to severe metabolic acidemia revealed several fetal arrhythmias including atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation that would have gone unnoticed with current fetal monitoring systems ...
