Article Synopsis
- Inappropriate therapies (ITs) in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are often triggered by supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVTs).
- The THINGS study analyzed 526 patients with single-lead ICDs to estimate the IT incidence and identified factors like younger age and history of atrial fibrillation as significant risk contributors.
- Results showed a low IT rate of 4.2% at one year and 7.1% at two years, with dual-chamber (DC) discrimination showing a trend towards fewer ITs compared to single-chamber (SC) discrimination in the VT zone.
: The investigation of C-fiber-evoked ultralow-level responses (ULEPs) at somatic sites is difficult in clinical practice but may be useful in patients with small fiber neuropathy. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate changes in LEPs and ULEPs in patients with fibromyalgia affected or not by abnormal intraepidermal innervation. : We recorded LEPs and ULEPs of the hand, thigh and foot in 13 FM patients with a normal skin biopsy (NFM), 13 patients with a reduced intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) (AFM) and 13 age-matched controls.
