Implementation of guideline-recommended therapies in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction according to heart failure duration: An analysis of 55 581 patients from the Swedish Heart Failure (SwedeHF) Registry.
Eur J Heart Fail

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Aims: Guidelines recommend immediate initiation of all four class I guideline-directed medical therapies, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI) or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI), beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) following the diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The extent to which this occurs in new-onset HFrEF is unclear. We assessed guideline-recommended therapies during the first year following a HFrEF diagnosis.

Division of Cardiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a new technique for patients with atrioventricular block (AVB) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), potentially offering better cardiac function than right ventricular pacing (RVP).
Methods: We searched databases and registries for studies that compared LBBAP with RVP in patients with AVB and preserved LVEF. We extracted data on various outcomes and pooled the effect estimates using random-effects models.
A Case of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Kupchik also coordinates Strip The authors have disclosed no potential conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise.
Editor's note: This is the next installment in a series on electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. Nurses in all settings should know the basics, as medications and physiological changes can cause cardiac arrhythmias. Each article will start with a brief case scenario and an ECG strip and then take you step by step through analyzing the heart rhythm.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices and their integrated thoracic impedance sensors have been used to detect sleep apnea for over a decade now. Despite their usage in daily clinical practice, there are only limited data on their diagnostic accuracy. AIRLESS and UPGRADE were prospective investigator-driven trials meant to validate the AP scan (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) in heart failure cohorts.

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an essential treatment for patients with symptomatic heart failure and ventricular conduction abnormalities. Low-ejection-fraction (EF) cardiomyopathy often involves a wide QRS complex displaying a left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology and markedly delayed activation of the LV lateral wall. Following CRT, patients with heart failure and LBBB have better outcomes and quality-of-life improvements.
