Introduction: This study aims to characterize the cardiovascular risk profile in countries with low-to-moderate cardiovascular mortality risk (Italy, Portugal, France, and Spain) using the SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP models. It also examines regional variations and the involvement of healthcare professionals in performing risk assessments.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using data from 24,434 cardiovascular risk assessments performed between December 2022 and July 2023 through a digital application used by physicians.
Article Synopsis
- * The study, called PROACTIVE-HF, assessed the safety and effectiveness of this monitoring method in 456 patients with chronic heart failure across various centers in the US and Europe.
- * Results showed a 6-month event rate of 0.15 hospitalizations or deaths per patient, far below the goal of 0.43, with a very high safety rate for the device.
Atrial cardiomyopathy revisited-evolution of a concept: a clinical consensus statement of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the ESC, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the Asian Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS).

Aims: The concept of "atrial cardiomyopathy" (AtCM) had been percolating through the literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were sporadic until the decision was made to convene an expert working group with representation from four multinational arrhythmia organizations to prepare a consensus document on atrial cardiomyopathy in 2016 (EHRA/HRS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus on atrial cardiomyopathies: definition, characterization, and clinical implication). Subsequently, publications on AtCM have increased progressively.

- Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a potential alternative to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) but is not suitable for all heart failure patients.
- A study analyzed 187 CRT candidates, finding a success rate of 81.2% for LBBP implantation, with failed cases primarily due to poor QRS morphology and technical issues.
- Key predictors for unsuccessful implantation included left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and non-left bundle branch block (non-LBBB) morphology, with non-LBBB significantly increasing the risk of failure.
