Background: Headache calendars are essential tools in monitoring changes in headache frequency and type. They are used in clinical practice for long-term monitoring, but their validation remains limited. The aim of this study was to validate the use of a digital calendar in monitoring single migraine and tension-type headache attacks.

This study assesses and compare baseline characteristics and clinical outcome at initial evaluation and during follow-up of relatives to SUD and pSCD victims.
Methods: We retrospectively included data from systematic screening and routine follow-up of first-degree relatives to SUD and pSCD victims referred to our Unit for Inherited Cardiac Diseases, Copenhagen, 2005-2018.
Background: Cardiac arrest may be the first manifestation of most inherited cardiac diseases. International guidelines recommend screening of relatives of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) survivors if an inherited cardiac disorder is suspected.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and spectrum of inherited cardiac diseases and the long-term outcome in a consecutive cohort of nonischemic SCA survivors (probands) and their relatives.
Background: Guidelines recommend clinical assessment of relatives to young sudden cardiac death (SCD) victims in case the SCD was due to an inherited cardiac disorder. Work-up of relatives is guided by findings in the SCD victim. If post-mortem examinations have not been performed the work-up of relatives is challenged.

The aim was to assess the diagnostic yield of inherited cardiac diseases in consecutively referred SCD families.
Methods And Results: In this single-centre retrospective study, we consecutively included families referred to our tertiary unit between 2005 and 2018 for screening due to SCD.
