An 82-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of syncope. A 12-lead ECG demonstrated atrial fibrillation with a ventricular response 35 bpm, and VVIR (ventricular pacing, sensing, inhibiting mode, rate function) pacemaker implanted using active fixation lead via the left subclavian artery. Prior discharge chest X-ray taken showed normal placement but minor retraction (figure 1A). One month after implantation she came again emergency room dizziness 42 bpm. urgently performed 1B,...
We describe a case of progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) in 39-year-old patient diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who underwent two allogenic matched-sibling stem cell transplantations. PML was confirmed just after the first transplantation cerebral MRI and by PCR cerebrospinal fluid.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 continues to spread and date, no definitive treatment is available. Overcrowded under-resourced healthcare centres have had design different strategies treat these patients, what includes the control of electrocardiogram (ECG), as some drugs that been used this disease may prolong QT interval a side effect. During COVID-19 outbreak, we designed protocol for monitoring using portable device with Bluetooth connectivity. After validation study 50 found very good...
