The authors report a case of paroxysmal syncopal complete atrioventricular block due to anticholinesterase therapy occurring after the first administration. The block was reversible. It is therefore important to exclude this cause of atrioventricular block in the elderly in view of the increasing indications of this therapy.

Masquerading bundle branch block (MBBB) is a rare presentation of bifascicular blocks. It is the result of a right bundle branch block associated with an advanced left anterior fascicular block due to extensive damage to the conduction system. We present the case of a 75-year-old male with late onset presentation anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) with ongoing ischemia (which evolved into a ventricular septal defect [VSD]).

Background: Recent studies have reported growing evidence supporting applying the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. This investigation intended to ascertain the link between CONUT scores and the prognosis in the AMI population.
Methods: Multiple electronic databases, encompassing PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, were retrieved from the inception of the databases until July 20, 2024, to explore the link between CONUT scores and adverse clinical outcomes in individuals with AMI.
Cardioneuroablation for reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhytmias: new insight from a single center experience.

Department of Cardiology, General Regional Hospital "F. Miulli", Bari, Italy.
Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a new approach to treat reflex syncope and functional bradyarrhytmias caused by autonomic imbalance. We report our experience using CNA.
Method: From September 2022 to July 2023, we took care of 21 patients (mean age 42 ± 21 years; 62% male) affected by reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhythmias.
Feasibility of anchoring active fixation quadripolar lead to the main body of the dilated coronary sinus in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava: a case report.

Department of Cardiology, Yokohama City University Hospital, 3-9 Fukuura, Kanazawa-Ku, Yokohama city, Kanagawa 236-0004, Japan.
Background: Coronary sinus (CS) lead placement in persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) cases is challenging because of the poor backup force of the guiding catheter within the enlarged CS. Active fixation Quadripolar leads (Attain Stability™ Quad 4798, Medtronic) can expand choice to CS branches with limited access; however, no cases of anchoring to the main body of the CS have been published to date.
Case Summary: We describe a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker upgrade in a 79-year-old female who developed pacing-induced cardiomyopathy after pacemaker implantation via the right superior vena cava (SVC) for atrioventricular block eight years ago wherein PLSVC was revealed during the procedure.
Contemporary Insights into LMNA Cardiomyopathy.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Cardiovascular Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore how a diagnosis of LMNA-related cardiomyopathy (LMNA-CM) informs clinical management, focusing on the prevention and management of its complications, through practical clinical strategies.
Recent Findings: Longitudinal studies have enhanced our understanding of the natural history of LMNA-CM including its arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic complications. A LMNA specific ventricular arrhythmia risk prediction strategy has been integrated into clinical practice guidelines.
