Background: Women with congenital heart disease at high risk for sudden cardiac death have been poorly studied thus far.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess sex-related differences in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
Methods: Data were analyzed from the DAI-T4F (French National Registry of Patients With Tetralogy of Fallot and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) cohort study, which has prospectively enrolled all patients with TOF with ICDs in France since 2010.
Article Synopsis
- Many young people who have sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and die in the hospital don’t have a clear reason why it happened.
- Researchers looked at over 4,000 patients and found that a lot of tests weren't done to figure out the cause in those young patients.
- Doing more early tests can help doctors understand SCA better and could prevent similar cases in families.
Aims: Guidelines recommend that in the absence of reversible cause for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) should be performed to prevent further fatal event. We sought to describe the frequency and characteristics of patients discharged from the hospital without ICD after the SCA in the daily practice.
Methods And Results: From 2011 to 2018, all SCAs related to a cardiac cause admitted alive across the 48 hospitals of Great Paris Area were prospectively enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- * Overall incidence of SrSCA remained stable, with only a small percentage occurring in competitive young athletes, while most cases were in middle-aged recreational sports participants.
- * Significant improvements were noted in the use of bystander CPR and automated external defibrillators, leading to a tripling of survival rates from 23.8% to 66.7% over the study period, emphasizing the importance of public training in life support.

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause occurring in young adults. Cardiac sarcoidosis patients are at increased risk for atrioventricular blocks and ventricular arrhythmias. Sinus node dysfunction is scarcely reported.
