Social media (SoMe) represents a medium of communication in everyday life and has gained importance for professional use among clinicians. In the #intEHRAct survey, we aimed to describe SoMe by healthcare community setting. The EHRA e-Communication Committee Scientific Initiatives prepared questionnaire distributed it via newsletters, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook. survey consisted 19 questions made on an individual basis collected anonymously. Two hundred eighty-five responders from 35...
Abstract Social media (SoMe) becomes more and popular in the cardiological community. Among them, Twitter is an emerging dynamic medium to connect, communicate educate academic clinical cardiologists. However, contrast traditional scientific communications, content provided through SoMe not peer-reviewed may necessarily always represent evidence or even be used unjustifiably promote therapies for commercial purposes. For unintended, this means of communication might appear difficult handle....
Abstract Instant messaging (IM) enables medical professionals to quickly share clinical data their peers for counselling. Purpose of this survey is assess the habits related IM, application in practice and perceived pros cons. An online was distributed community via newsletters, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook. The consisted 22 questions made on an individual-basis collected anonymously SurveyMonkey. A total 287 subjects from 33 countries responded (mean age 43 years, 74.8% male). Of all...
The diagnosis of ARVC remains complex requiring both imaging and electrocardiographic (ECG) techniques. purpose was therefore to investigate whether QRS dispersion assessed by body surface mapping (BSM) could be used detect early signs ARVC, particularly in gene carriers.ARVC patients, carriers without a history arrhythmias or structural cardiac changes healthy controls underwent 12-lead resting ECG, signal-averaged echocardiographic examination, 24-hours Holter monitoring, BSM with imaging....
This study aims to survey current educational experience and the individual requirements for electrophysiologists in training.The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) e-Communication Committee Scientific Initiatives prepared a questionnaire distributed it via newsletters, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook. The consisted of 22 questions collected on an basis anonymously. Two hundred forty-three responders from 35 countries (32% female, age 38 ± 6 years old) completed survey. EHRA...
Background The diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in early stages is challenging. aim this study was therefore to investigate whether electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) can detect epicardial conduction changes ARVC patients and healthy mutation-carriers (M-carriers). Method Twelve patients, 20 M-carriers 8 controls underwent 12-lead ECG, signal-averaged 2-dimensional echocardiography, 24-hours Holter monitoring ECGI (body surface mapping computer tomography...

Diagnosing arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) at an early stage can be challenging even after ECG recording and a combination of several imaging techniques. The purpose this study was to explore if body surface mapping (BSM) system with 252-leads could identify repolarization abnormalities thereby diagnose stages ARVC.ARVC patients, gene carriers without signs ARVC controls underwent 12-lead resting ECG, signal-averaged echocardiography, 24-hours Holter monitoring, BSM...
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiac disease explaining about 4% of sudden death (SCD) cases in the young Sweden. This study aimed to describe circumstances preceding SCD all victims <35 years age who received autopsy-confirmed diagnosis ARVC from January 1, 2000, December 31, 2010, Sweden (n = 22). Data on demographics, medical and family history, death, anatomopathological findings were collected several compulsory national health registries,...

Main source(s): Uppsala University Hospital (ALF) and Marcus Börgström Foundation Background The post-mortem investigation cases with sudden cardiac death (SCD) is critical for risk stratification adequate care surviving relatives. Genetic testing limited by access to DNA from the proband, as blood samples are not routinely collected at time death, or poor quality obtained formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)...
Abstract Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is autosomal dominant inherited, and associated with a significant risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to progressive fibrofatty replacement the myocardium predisposing for arrhythmias. It main cause SCD in individuals younger than 40 years age. The prevalence ARVC young Sweden has recently been approximated 4 %, but characteristics these patients have not described before. Purpose To study patient characteristics,...
Abstract Background Repolarization abnormalities have a central role on the diagnosis of ARVC according to recent HRS consensus document from 2019 stating that T wave inversion in right precordial leads is major criteria if it appears V1-V3 or minor only V1-V2. Purpose The aim our study was investigate whether repolarization patterns as recorded by Body Surface Mapping (BSM) system consisting vest with 252 ECG leads, could differentiate patients and even gene carriers normal individuals. Our...
Abstract Background The diagnosis of ARVC is complex and challenging requiring multiple investigational tools, most which include the demonstration depolarization/conduction abnormalities, described in recent HRS consensus documents 2019. A simple user friendly diagnostic tool warranted. Purpose purpose our study was therefore to explore whether analysis QRS dispersion obtained from 252-leads recorded by a Body Surface Mapping (BSM) system can be used identify patients as compared...
