Background: Delivering care in medically underserved areas (MUA) is a public health challenge.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of a noncommercial multivendor solution for remote interrogation and programming of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) among inhabitants of MUAs.
Methods: This prospective comparative study evaluated benefits and safety of remote CIEDs evaluation in patients living >100 km from the Bordeaux University Hospital.
Article Synopsis
- Transvenous lead failure is a significant issue in cardiac pacing and defibrillation, occurring in about 1-2% of cases.
- It often begins with oversensing of non-physiological signals, which can lead to problems like inappropriate pacing or shocks.
- The review discusses the causes of lead failure and suggests a diagnostic strategy to help identify and manage potential lead issues early on to prevent serious complications.
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.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) can be associated with undetected distinct conditions such as microstructural cardiomyopathic alterations (MiCM) or Purkinje (Purk) activities with structurally normal hearts.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the characteristics of recurrent VF recorded on implantable defibrillator electrograms, associated with these substrates.
Methods: This was a multicenter collaboration study.
