Cardiac implantable electronic devices infections (CIEDI) are associated with poor survival despite the improvement in transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Aetiology and systemic involvement are driving factors of clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore their contribute on overall mortality.

- Hyperthermia treatment's effectiveness relies on achieving specific temperatures in targeted areas, requiring systems to provide controlled and conformal heating.
- The study involved six European institutions testing BSD-Sigma 60 and Sigma Eye devices, measuring thermal distribution after heating with a total power of 1000 watts in standardized phantoms.
- Results indicated that most applicators achieved the desired temperature increase, with minor deviations in focus location and symmetry, leading to proposed minimum acceptable values for quality metrics and recommendations for future quality assurance in hyperthermia applications.
Aims: While factors associated with adverse events are well elucidated in setting of isolated left ventricular dysfunction, clinical and imaging-based prognosticators of adverse outcomes are lacking in context of biventricular dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to establish role of clinical variables in prognosis of biventricular heart failure (HF), as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Methods: Study cohort consisted of 840 patients enrolled in DERIVATE registry with coexisting CMR-derived right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, as defined by RV and LV ejection fractions ≤45 % and ≤ 50 %, respectively.
