The EUropean Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (EU-CERT-ICD), a prospective investigator-initiated, controlled cohort study, was conducted in 44 centres and 15 European countries. It aimed assess current clinical effectiveness primary prevention ICD therapy.We recruited 2327 patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) or dilated (DCM) guideline indications for prophylactic implantation. endpoint all-cause...
Abstract Background Treatment with ivabradine became a new therapeutic alternative for patients inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST). The aim was to determine relation between intrinsic heart rate (IHR) and response treatment. Methods Twenty‐seven (mean age 37 ± 11; 23 women) symptomatic IST despite medical treatment were recruited into the study. Resting ECG, 24‐hr ECG monitoring (24hECG), exercise treadmill test, symptoms evaluation performed initially after 60 days on ivabradine. IHR...
Parkinson’s disease is a frequent cause of pitfalls in ECG interpretation. recordings are frequently interpreted as ventricular tachycardia or/and atrial flutter. These findings fact provoked by motion artifacts. Case report describes 59-year-old man with whom wide QRS was recognized based on surface ECG. Patient referred to hospital order determine indications for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. Reanalysis electrocardiogram enabled verify the initial diagnosis.
Pacjentowi (68-letni mężczyzna) z rozpoznaną kardiomiopatią rozstrzeniową wszczepiono kardiowerter-defibrylator (ICD) w prewencji pierwotnej nagłego zgonu sercowego. W systemie home-monitoring zaobserwowano wiele arytmii, które zostały sklasyfikowane przez ICD jako epizody częstoskurczu komorowego. Arytmie były pomyślnie przerwane terapią antytachyarytmiczną, raz została zastosowana terapia wysokoenergetyczna (14 J). zapisie 24-godzinnego monitorowania elektrokardiograficznego metodą Holtera...
We present a case of 36-year-old female patient with long history persistent palpitations, limited exercise tolerance, and pre-syncope. ECG recordings revealed lasting episodes inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST). IST is characterised by cardiac arrhythmias P waves in the ECG, an exaggerated response to minimal physical effort or stress. Using 24-h Holter definition average heart rate patients should be > 90 bpm daytime 100 bpm. The syndrome associated neither structural disease nor any...
Authors present a case report of young man with whom despite to the fainting and significant pauses during tilt test, implantation pacemaker was not performed.The patient remains in outpatients care he seems refer advantage conservative treatment.Above procedure, there is accordance current guidelines, which emphasize selection small group patients among invasive treatment (pacemaker implantation) should be considered.Recent studies point out an increasing role prolonged Holter monitoring...
