Background: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a feasible and effective physiological pacing technique. The QRS morphology of left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP) is similar to that of LBBP. The ventricular activation pattern of LBBP is well-known, whereas the pattern of LVSP still needs further investigation.

Despite this, 2 units, housing high-risk immunocompromised patients, continued to experience increased CLABSI rates. A quality improvement before-after project design in these units replaced bedside nursing staff with 2 nurses from the vascular access team (VAT) to perform central vascular access device (CVAD) dressing changes routinely every 7 days or earlier if needed.

Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital heart disorder that primarily affects the right ventricle, showing a spongy myocardial appearance due to incomplete compression of the heart muscle.
- A case is reported involving a 41-week female fetus who experienced sudden unexpected death during labor, where the right ventricular wall showed significant thickening and hypertrabeculation characteristic of LVNC.
- The investigation revealed that the cause of death was linked to electrical conduction dysfunction due to LVNC, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive post-mortem examinations for unexpected fetal deaths, though standard guidelines are lacking.

Background: Different pathogens can cause dilated cardiomyopathy, one of them is Trypanosoma cruzi protozoan. T.cruzi-chronic infection causes chronic Chagasic cardiomyopathy and affects the sinus node and the conduction systembelow the bundle of His; besides, it shows excellent arrhythmogenic potential because of ventricular arrhythmias.

Introduction: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare inherited disorder usually affecting the right ventricle (RV), characterized by fibro-fatty tissue replacement of the healthy ventricular myocardium. It often predisposes young patients to ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, and/or sudden cardiac death. However, recent studies have suggested predominantly left ventricle (LV) involvement with variable and/or atypical manifestations.
