Risk stratification in individuals with type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern (type ECG) for primary prevention of sudden death (SD).Three hundred and twenty patients (258 males, median age 43 years) ECG were enrolled. No patient had previous cardiac arrest. Fifty-four per cent a spontaneous 46% drug-induced ECG. One-third syncope, two-thirds asymptomatic. Two forty-five underwent electrophysiologic study (EPS) 110 received an implantable defibrillator (ICD). During follow-up...
Analysis of right ventricular (RV) regional dysfunction by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (ARVC) may be inadequate because the complex contraction pattern RV. Aim this study was to determine use strain and dyssynchrony assessment ARVC using feature-tracking CMR analysis.Thirty-two consecutive patients with referred were included. Thirty-two idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias 32 control subjects, matched for age sex group, included comparison...
The traditional technique for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) implantation, which involves three incisions and a pocket, is associated with possible complications, including inappropriate interventions. aim of this prospective multicenter study was to evaluate the efficacy safety an alternative intermuscular two-incision S-ICD implantation.The population included 36 consecutive patients (75% male, mean age 44 ± 12 years [range 20-69]) who underwent implantation...
BackgroundAlthough the effects of air pollution on mortality have been clearly shown in many epidemiological and observational studies, pro-arrhythmic remain unknown. We aimed to assess short-term ventricular arrhythmias a population high-risk patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillators (ICD-CRT).MethodsIn this prospective multicentre study, we assessed 281 (median age 71 years) across nine centres Veneto region Italy....
The recently developed second-generation subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) and the intermuscular two-incision implantation technique demonstrate potential favorable features that reduce inappropriate shocks complications. However, data concerning large patient populations are lacking. aim of this multicentre prospective study was to evaluate safety outcome S-ICD using in a population study.
ABSTRACT Background Recent advancements in ultra‐high‐density mapping (UHDM) featuring automated functionalities have enhanced our understanding of micro‐reentrant atrial tachycardias (mAT) circuits and the precise localization origin. Purpose To evaluate diagnostic support provided by an UHDM algorithm guiding ablation mATs. Methods Consecutive patients eligible for AT 22 Italian centers were prospectively enrolled. All ATs comprehensively mapped either left or right atrium utilizing...
Pacemaker leads may impair tricuspid valve coaptation and they are a well‐known cause of mild regurgitation. Occasionally, right ventricular worsen regurgitation over time patients develop late‐onset symptoms right‐sided heart failure. The exact mechanism this clinical entity is rarely identifiable by 2D‐echocardiography only. This case report details patient with severe secondary to immobilization the anterior leaflet permanent pacing lead. was clarified real three‐dimensional...
Supraventricular tachycardia may trigger atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the study was to evaluate prevalence supraventricular (SVT) inducibility in patients referred for AF ablation and effects SVT on recurrences.Two hundred fifty-seven (185 males; mean age: 53.4 ± 14.6 years) were studied. In all only relapses had been documented clinical history. Twenty-six (10.1%; 43.4 13.3 years; 17 males) inducible during electrophysiological underwent an targeted at suppression. Ablation...
Electroanatomic Mapping for CRT Implantation Registry Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation guided by an electroanatomic mapping system (EAMS) is emerging technique that may reduce fluoroscopy and angiography use provide information on coronary sinus (CS) electrical activation. We evaluated the outcome of EAMS‐guided in a multicenter registry. Methods During period 2011–2014 we enrolled 125 patients (80% males, age 74 [71–77] years) who underwent using...
This study was designed to assess the prognostic value of clinical and electrocardiographic parameters in Brugada syndrome (BrS). The population included 272 consecutive patients (82% males; mean age 43 ± 12 years), with either a spontaneous (n = 137, 50%) or drug-induced 135, Type 1 electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern. combined endpoint sudden cardiac death (SCD), arrest, appropriate intervention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). A first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (PR 219 17...
All available studies that have addressed the issue of risk stratification in patients with type 1 Brugada electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern considered a combined end point constituted by implantable cardioverter-defibrillator-recorded fast ventricular arrhythmias (ICD-FVA) and sudden death (SD) without ICD.As ICD-FVA are only surrogate SD, we tried to focus on prognostic value classical factors separating from those ICD who suffered SD.We made cumulative analysis largest studies. Studies...
Frequent ventricular premature beats (VPBs) may be discovered during preparticipation screening in asymptomatic apparently healthy athletes. Some authors hypothesize that they a manifestation of 'athlete's heart' and suggest deconditioning period, which should document regression arrhythmias, to exclude concealed disease.To test this hypothesis, we analysed 87 athletes with frequent VPB (>100/24 h). Of these, 44 (group D) underwent at least 3 months' detraining, whereas 43 C) continued...
Atrial tachycardia/fibrillation (AT/AF) episodes are common in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) recipients and can be undetected by standard single-chamber devices. This study aims to explore whether a single-lead ICD with an atrial dipole (ICD DX; BIOTRONIK SE & Co, Berlin, Germany) could improve the AT/AF diagnosis management as compared VR).We selected patients without history from THINGS registry which included consecutive implanted for indications. The VR DX groups 236...
To assess accuracy and reproducibility of real time simultaneous triplane echocardiography (RT3PE) for the assessment left ventricular (LV) volumes ejection fraction (EF) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as a reference method.A total 24 patients with various degrees LV dysfunction (EF from 36 to 57%) in sinus rhythm good image quality were enrolled study. Digital loops apical views recorded standard two-dimensional imaging RT3PE. Echocardiography CMR performed within 1 hour. RT3PE...
