Prognostic value of ventricular arrhythmia in early post-infarction left ventricular dysfunction: the French nationwide WICD-MI study.

Background And Aims: Prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are not recommended until left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been reassessed 40 to 90 days after an acute myocardial infarction. In the current therapeutic era, the prognosis of sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) occurring during this early post-infarction phase (i.e.

Prognostic value of aerobic capacity and exercise oxygen pulse in postaortic dissection patients.

Background: Although recommendations encourage daily moderate activities in post aortic dissection, very little data exists regarding cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to personalize those patient's physical rehabilitation and assess their cardiovascular prognosis.

Design: We aimed at testing the prognostic insight of CPET regarding aortic and cardiovascular events by exploring a prospective cohort of patients followed-up after acute aortic dissection.

Methods: Patients referred to our department after an acute (type A or B) aortic dissection were prospectively included in a cohort between September 2012 and October 2017.

A report on the impact of remote monitoring in patients with S-ICD: Insights from a prospective registry.

Introduction: Several clinical studies have demonstrated that remote monitoring (RM) offers potential benefits in transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The potential interest of RM in subcutaneous-ICD (S-ICD) recipients has never been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the alert burden and its clinical relevance in a prospective cohort of S-ICD recipients.
