This paper describes a case of patient post-TAVI who developed Left Septal Fascicular Block (LSFB) and Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB). This combination has not been previously reported and must be actively sought out, given the possible increased risk of complete atrioventricular block and sudden cardiac death. RBBB following transcatheter aortic valve replacement is rare and is associated with complete atrioventricular block and permanent pacemaker implantation.

We aimed to investigate the risk associated with CAD and life threatening events (LTEs) in patients with LQTS after age 40 years.
Methods: The risk of LTEs (comprising aborted cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac death, or appropriate defibrillator shock) from age 40 through 75 years was examined in 1,020 subjects from the Rochester LQTS registry, categorized to CAD ( = 137) or no-CAD ( = 883) subgroups.
Article Synopsis
- - The expert panel focused on advancing the diagnosis and prognosis of cutaneous melanoma (CM) due to its high mortality rate, reviewing new tech advancements like gene expression profiling (GEP) and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
- - A thorough literature search resulted in 200 articles, but only 19 were selected for review, leading to 7 consensus statements on testing approaches, categorized by varying levels of recommendation strength.
- - Key findings suggest that specific GEP tests can help accurately diagnose unclear cases and enhance prognostic evaluations, ultimately supporting better clinical decisions for CM patients.
Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a growing health concern with a rapidly increasing incidence. Disease-specific mortality is typically preceded by a metastasis, but current staging systems have significant limitations in predicting this event. The 40-gene expression profile (40-GEP) test is a validated method of further stratifying patients based on the risk of regional or distant metastasis, but limited guidelines exist for incorporating this test into clinical practice.
