: Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are essential medications in heart failure (HF) therapy, and their potential antiarrhythmic effects have been reported. Recently, ARNI and SGLT2i use for HF in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) has been studied. However, whether any beneficial effects may be achieved on the arrhythmic burden in the complex population of ACHD with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) is still to be determined.

Article Synopsis
  • The popularity of atrial catheter ablation has surged as a leading treatment for supraventricular tachycardias, praised for its safety and effectiveness.
  • Complications can occur at various stages, including vascular, thromboembolic, and mechanical issues, with atrial fibrillation ablation being notably riskier due to its complexity.
  • Strategies to minimize risks involve advanced techniques like optimized anticoagulation and esophageal temperature monitoring, while emerging methods like pulsed-field ablation show promise for improved safety, pending further research.

Article Synopsis
  • Differentiating between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide tachycardia (SWCT) using 12-lead ECG is challenging and has traditionally depended on manual interpretation, which can be limited by the user's expertise.
  • Recent research has introduced automated algorithms that may offer improved accuracy over manual methods, but there has been little direct comparison between these two approaches.
  • A study by LoCoco et al. (2024) evaluated the effectiveness of traditional manual ECG differentiation methods against five automated algorithms, analyzing 213 ECGs to assess their diagnostic performance.

Reinforcing treatment and evaluation workflow of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for refractory ventricular tachycardia.

Radiat Oncol J

December 2024

Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Heavy Ion Therapy Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Purpose: Cardiac radioablation is a novel, non-invasive treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT), involving a single fractional stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) session with a prescribed dose of 25 Gy. This complex procedure requires a detailed workflow and stringent dose constraints compared to conventional radiation therapy. This study aims to establish a consistent institutional workflow for single-fraction cardiac VT-SABR, emphasizing robust plan evaluation and quality assurance.
