Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether ibrutinib-related atrial fibrillation (IRAF) is linked to the dosage of ibrutinib, and if IRAF cases should lead to dosage adjustments or discontinuation of the drug.
  • Researchers analyzed data from the World Health Organization's VigiBase® pharmacovigilance database, focusing on 1,162 IRAF cases and various dosing regimens of ibrutinib (ranging from 140 mg/day to over 560 mg/day).
  • Results indicated that there was no significant association between the reported IRAF cases and the dosage of ibrutinib (p=0.09), suggesting IRAF is not a dose-dependent adverse drug reaction.

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.

Background: Learning to interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs) is a crucial objective in medical education. Despite its importance, errors in ECGs interpretation are common, and the optimal teaching methods have not yet been clearly established.

Objectives: To evaluate students' confidence in ECGs analysis and their opinion on current teaching methods, and to assess the effectiveness of a new ECG educational approach.

Background: 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.
