The study aims to assess whether mortality and VT/VF events decreased in patients who received ICDs during different time periods (2007–2010, 2011–2014, and 2015–2018). Analysis revealed that period 3 (2015–2018) was associated with better death-free survival ( p = .007). 001) and the combined outcome ( p = .009).

JUNE 1, 2022

Aim Inflammatory cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) directly affect cardiac electrophysiology by inhibiting cardiac potassium currents, leading to delay of cardiac repolarisation and QT-prolongation. Methods We conducted a nested case–control in a cohort of individuals between 1 June 2001 and 31 December 2015.
