The current manuscript is the second update of original Practical Guide, published in 2013 [Heidbuchel et al. European Heart Rhythm Association Guide on use new oral anticoagulants patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Europace 2013;15:625-651; Heidbuchel Updated non-vitamin K antagonist 2015;17:1467-1507]. Non-vitamin (NOACs) are an alternative for vitamin antagonists (VKAs) to prevent stroke fibrillation (AF) and have emerged as preferred choice, particularly newly started...

Background — Mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene ( RyR2 ) underlie catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), an inherited arrhythmogenic disease occurring structurally intact heart. The proportion of patients with CPVT carrying mutations is unknown, and clinical features -CPVT as compared nongenotyped are undefined. Methods Results Patients documented arrhythmias during physical or emotional stress a normal heart entered study. phenotype 30 probands 118...

Abstract The 2015 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/SOLAECE Expert Consensus Statement on Optimal Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Programming and Testing provided guidance bradycardia programming, tachycardia detection, therapy, defibrillation testing for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patient treatment. 32 recommendations represented the consensus opinion of writing group, graded by Class Recommendation Level Evidence. In addition, Appendix B manufacturer-specific translations these into...

<h3>Importance</h3> Patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) may experience life-threatening arrhythmic events (LTAEs) despite β-blocker treatment. Further complicating management, the role of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in CPVT is debated. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate long-term outcomes patients with<i>RYR2</i>CPVT treated β-blockers only and cost to benefit ratio ICD. <h3>Design, Settings, Participants</h3> This prospective cohort...

Debate about the best clinical approach to management of asymptomatic patients with ventricular pre-excitation and advice on whether or not invasively stratify ablate is on-going. Weak evidence real risk sudden cardiac death potential benefit catheter ablation has probably prevented clarification action in this infrequent sometimes conflicting situation. After analysing all available data, evidence-based medicine could be alternative strategy for managing group patients. According recent...

Background: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an arrhythmo-genic cardiac disease predisposing affected individuals to sudden death (SCD). Methods and Results: Here we provide data on the largest CPVT population thus far described. The study consisted of 177 patients (64% female) 93 families. All probands (pbs) were screened for RYR2 mutations: 54 (58%) pbs carried a heterozygous mutation, 1 pb compound mutation 3 homozygous (1), (1) or CASQ2 mutation. One KCNJ2...
