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...
BackgroundIn experimental models, stellate ganglion block (SGB) reduces the induction of atrial fibrillation (AF), while data in humans are limited.ObjectiveThe aim this study was to assess effect unilateral SGB on electrophysiological properties and AF patients with paroxysmal AF.MethodsThirty-six were randomized a 2:1 order temporary, transcutaneous, pharmaceutical lidocaine or placebo before pulmonary vein isolation. Lidocaine 1:1 randomly infused right left ganglion. Before after...
Background and objectiveWe prospectively investigated combinations of risk stratifiers including multiple EP diagnostics in a cohort study ICD patients.MethodsFor 672 enrolled patients, we collected history, LVEF, T-wave alternans testing, 24-h Holter, NT-proBNP, the eGFR. All-cause mortality first appropriate shock were predefined endpoints.ResultsThe 635 patients included final analyses 63 ± 13 years old, 81% male, LVEF averaged 40 14%, 20% inducible at study, 63% had primary prophylactic...
The optimal medical therapy of patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS) remains controversial. Fluoxetine is effective against anxiety and panic disorders, while its use has shown promising results for VVS. Anxiety sensitivity a personality trait observed in considerable proportion VVS, associated predisposition to disorders. Our aim was examine whether fluoxetine exerts beneficial effects regarding VVS prevention the subset sensitivity. We assessed 106 typical history recurrent without other...
Abstract Viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER) is a serious neuropathological fish disease affecting in the Mediterranean aquaculture mainly European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax . It well known that betanodaviruses are neurotropic viruses replicate nerve tissues, preferentially brain retina. However, routes of entry progression virus central nervous system (CNS) remain unclear. The role four tissues—eye, oesophagus, gills skin—as possible gateways betanodavirus, redspotted grouper...
The serpent is the most popular representative symbol of medicine. two main figures commonly used are rod Asclepius and caduceus. Much controversy exists in literature on whether caduceus a false for medicine or not. history how these depictions came to be ambassadors medical science elusive many physicians. Scholars suggest that origin this belief dates back 1902, when US Army Medical Corps first incorporated as its symbol. This current essay an attempt discover interpret snake part...

We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient who presented to pacemaker clinic for scheduled interrogation her leadless pacemaker. The device was suggestive intermittent under-sensing with failure pace. Connecting electrocardiogram lead pacing system analyzer raised suspicion loss telemetry data. (Level Difficulty: Beginner.)

Autonomic modulation is used for treating various cardiovascular diseases, such as cardiac arrhythmias. Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block an easy, non-invasive therapy migraine with a potential impact that remains unclear. In this study, we sought to assess the effect of SPG on autonomic tone, expressed by heart rate variability (HRV), and ventricular arrhythmogenesis.Forty patients (14 male 26 female) suffering from were randomized 1:1 or placebo (controls) HRV parameters evaluated 1 hour...
Abstract Introduction Glycemic control reflected by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is regarded as a risk factor and strong predictor of mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Hyperglycemia may contribute to oxidative stress, endotelial dysfunction cardiac fibrosis influence negatively prognosis or without diabetes. Treatment neprilysin inhibitors combination angiotensin II receptor antagonist,(ARNIs) has shown beneficial effects morbidity reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Purpose We...
Since December 2019, the coronovirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in more than 2,160,000 positive cases and 145,000 deaths until April 18, 2020. The pressure to health services worldwide been unprecedented. redeployment of staff resources treat efficiently COVID-19 along with need reduce disease transmission affected field electrophysiology among many others. Amendments clinical pathways are obligatory this perspective continue provide necessary people who them, although at...
The left atrial posterior wall (PW) is known to be a critical substrate for the initiation and perpetuation of fibrillation (AF) has been explored as target catheter ablation, particularly in persistent AF (PerAF). In this retrospective study, we investigate clinical outcome patients with PerAF who underwent PW isolation (PWI) restricted predetermined lines addition pulmonary vein (PVI). One hundred consecutive (64 ± 9.1 years, 66% male, 20% previous PVI ablation) PWI box lesion setting...
