Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation
ABSTRACT Introduction Leadless pacemakers are typically implanted in the mid‐septum of the right ventricle (RV) to mitigate the risk of perforation. However, reports on the precise location of these implants are limited. This study aimed to elucidate tine‐based leadless pacemaker position and presence of subclinical RV perforation through computed ...

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary
ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Long‐Term Cardiovascular Outcomes Following New‐Onset Arrhythmias During Pregnancy
ABSTRACT Background Arrhythmias during pregnancy are increasingly prevalent and associated with acute adverse cardiovascular outcomes, yet their long‐term cardiovascular implications remain poorly defined. To address this gap, we conducted a large population‐based study to evaluate 5‐year cardiovascular outcomes following incident arrhythmias during ...

Abstract Background Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) therapy relies on reliable right ventricular leads for pacing, sensing, and defibrillation. The INVICTA DF4 lead is an active‐fixation, quadripolar design intended to optimize implant workflow and long‐term safety and performance. Methods APOLLO was a prospective, multicenter, single‐arm,

Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

First Experience With Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Under Deep Sedation
ABSTRACT Background The Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator (EV‐ICD) utilizes a substernal lead to provide defibrillation and anti‐tachycardia pacing (ATP) while avoiding transvenous complications. General anesthesia (GA) was applied for implantation procedures in the EV‐ICD pivotal trial and is currently recommended by the ...

Impact of ICD Presence in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices for End‐Stage Heart Failure
ABSTRACT Background The prognostic relevance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) remains controversial. Objectives To evaluate the prognostic impact of ongoing use of ICD and associated complications in HF‐patients with LVAD‐implantation.
