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...

All procedures performed between 1 January 31 December 2012 were analysed retrospectively. Data obtained on characteristics resources participating centres (public or private institution, number beds, surgery availability, type room for procedures, days per week assigned to electrophysiology fluoroscopy equipment, availability electroanatomical mapping system,...

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...
This paper is an executive summary of the full European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) consensus document on management supraventricular arrhythmias, published in Europace . It summarises developments field and provides recommendations for patient management, with particular emphasis new advances since previous Society Cardiology guidelines.

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...
