Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a highly prevalent arrhythmia with significant burden on morbidity and mortality. The impact of AF in the revascularised population remains incompletely described. We conducted a retrospective cohort study analysing the association between AF and clinical outcomes.

Protection against the increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular arrhythmias is offered by the implantation of cardiac defibrillators. This is a single-centre retrospective study on the outcomes of all patients who had a transvenous defibrillator implant in 2015. Data from 235 patients were analysed.

Since it was announced as a Class 1A recommendation in 2015 by the Heart Rhythm Society, cardiac remote patient monitoring has become the standard of care for cardiac device patients. Cardiac devices managed by RPM software are reducing hospital admissions and time to diagnosis and treatment for patients with arrhythmias and heart failure.

Distinction is made between: ERP ( E arly R epolarization " P attern" ) in which the ECG findings of early repolarization are seen in the absence of symptomatic arrhythmias. Instead, I favor calling this a "repolarization variant" with awareness that this ECG finding is usually but unfortunately not always 100% "benign".
