Abstract Background Pulse field ablation (PFA) is a novel catheter technology with potential safety benefits due to its tissue selectivity. It has the directly damage or interact functionality of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in form electromagnetic interference (EMI). The aim our study was assess impact PFA on CIEDs. Methods lesions (45 per CIED) were applied from Farapulse system CIEDs (< 5 cm lead tip and < 15 generator). All checked before after application for...
Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales and use are rapidly expanding. vehicles, along with their charging stations, a potential source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) for patients cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). The new 'high-power' stations have the to create strong fields induce EMI in CIEDs, safety has not been evaluated.A total 130 CIED performed 561 charges four BEVs test (350 kW charge capacity) using high-power under continuous 6-lead electrocardiogram monitoring....
Background: The diagnosis of device infections, especially pocket is challenging and relies primarily on clinical presentation. prospective DIRT (Device associated Infections Role new diagnostic Tools) study identified procalcitonin (PCT) as the most promising biomarker among other 14 biomarkers to aid infection. It also an optimized cut-off value 0.05 ng/ml for a localized generator Aims: present aims validate proposed PCT infection in independent cohort. Methods: We prospectively enrolled...

Background: The demand for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has increased. In line with this, the safety of such procedures also Traditionally, TLE is performed under resource-intensive general anaesthesia. This study aims to evaluate and outcomes Cardiologist-lead deep sedation TLE. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 328 from 2016 2019. were by experienced electrophysiologists. Sedation was administered a specifically trained cardiologist (bolus midazolam/fentanyl propofol infusion)....

Key Teaching Points•The Abbott SecureSense (Abbott Medical, St. Paul, Minnesota) algorithm adequately detects right ventricular noise signals by comparing near-field and far-field reduces inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks evoked oversensing.•By default, appliance of the telemetry wand automatically induces passive mode algorithm. As a consequence, are still appropriately detected during device interrogation, but ICD therapy is not withheld, which may allow in...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main source(s): Deutsche Stiftung für Herzforschung research grant Background Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a risk to patients with cardiac implantable devices (CIEDs) and can result in device malfunction including pacing inhibition or inappropriate shock therapy. Such EMI sources are ubiquitous the modern world. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represent such potential source. We have previously...
Abstract Background Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) are an established treatment option for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, data in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), especially direct comparison to other patient groups (e.g. cardiomyopathies) scarce. Methods Retrospective single-center study all patients receiving a S-ICD time-period 2012-2020. ACHD were compared non-ACHD patients. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality....
Abstract Background Left ventricular lead (LVL) implantation can be challenging in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). Therefore, contrast is commonly used to visualize the coronary venous system. However, use correlated with substantial risks such as contrast-induced nephropathy and anaphylactic reaction. Case studies suggest feasibility of LVL without sinus (CS) venography. Purpose We aimed compare procedure characteristics, outcome, safety contrast-free contrast-aided implantation....

CIED infection an uncommon, but severe complication associated presence a device high mortality morbidity. Lead-related infections frank endocarditis are systemic inflammatory response and, in general, readily identified. Isolated pocket do not...
