The universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI) classifies acute ischaemia into different classes according to lesion mechanism. Our aim was perform a detailed comparison between these types MI in terms baseline characteristics, management and prognosis.An observational retrospective single-centre cohort study performed, including 1,000 consecutive patients admitted for type 1 (76.4%) or 2 (23.6%). Type were older, had higher prevalence comorbidities worse medical status at admission....
It is unclear to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced use of remote monitoring (RM) cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). The present physician-based European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) survey aimed assess influence on RM CIEDs among EHRA members and how it changed current practice. comprised 27 questions focusing before during pandemic. Questions focused impact frequency in-office visits, data filtering, reasons for initiating in-person underutilization COVID-19,...
Abstract Aims Data on sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (SrSCA) among young adults in the general population are scarce. We aimed to determine overall SrSCA incidence, characteristics, and outcomes adults. Methods results Prospective cohort study of all cases between 2012 2019 Germany Paris area, France, involving subjects aged 18–35 years. Detection was achieved via multiple sources, including emergency medical services (EMS) reporting web-based screening media releases. Cases...
The use of a blanking period (BP) after an atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure is common practice, but recent data questions the benign nature early recurrences tachyarrhythmias (ERATs). A physician-based survey was carried out by European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) to investigate current definition and applicability BP ERAT management. An online questionnaire sent clinical interventional electrophysiologists. total 436 respondents (88% electrophysiologists) reported observing...
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) may impact patients' life significantly. The aim of this survey was to analyse the ICD on quality (QoL) metrics from patient's perspective. 'Living with an ICD' a prospective, multicentre study online questionnaire submitted European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Research Network centres as well patient associations 10 countries; it filled-in directly and personally by patients that were invited participate, minimal interaction or influence...
Conduction disorders such as left bundle branch block (LBBB) are common after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Consensus regarding a reasonable strategy to manage conduction disturbances TAVI has been elusive. The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) conducted survey capture contemporary clinical practice for TAVI. A 25-item online questionnaire was developed and distributed among the EHRA electrophysiology (EP) research network centres. Of 117 respondents, 44% were...
Aims Although it is accepted that atrial fibrillation (AF) may be both the contributing factor and consequence of pulmonary embolism (PE), data on prognostic role AF in patients with acute venous thromboembolism are scarce. Our aim was to study whether had a PE. Methods Retrospective cohort involving 270 admitted for Collected data: past medical history, analytic/gasometric parameters, admission ECG echocardiogram, thoracic CT angiography. Patients followed 6 months. An analysis performed...
Left atrial (LA) size is a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in patients sinus rhythm, whereas conflicting results have been found fibrillation (AF). This study aims to: (1) Evaluate the accuracy LA to identify surrogate markers an increased thromboembolic risk with AF; (2) Assess best method evaluate this setting. Cross-sectional enrolling 500 consecutive undergoing transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography evaluation during non-valvular AF episode. was measured on using several...
The very long-term outcome of patients who survive the first few years after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been well described thus far. We aimed to provide outcomes, especially with regard occurrence sudden death (SCD), in CRT without (CRT-P) and defibrillator (CRT-D).A total 1775 patients, ischaemic or non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy, were alive 5 implantation, enrolled this multicentre European observational cohort study. Overall mortality rates specific...
ABSTRACT Background An accurate local activation time (LAT) map is essential during premature ventricular contraction (PVC) ablation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use a novel octaspline multielectrode catheter, with and without catheter‐embedded unipolar reference, improves LAT mapping PVC ablation compared pre‐existing pentaspline catheter. Methods This prospectively assessed 10 consecutive patients referred for from January June 2023. Three 12‐min maps were performed...
