The guidelines for atrial fibrillation ( AF ) from the American Heart Association ( AHA ) in 2019 and the European Society of Cardiologists ( ESC ) in 2020 recommend continued monitoring and evaluation for patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE), with the ESC noting a preference for remote monitoring.5,6 Eur Heart J.
New HCM Guidelines Updated recommendations in the guideline reflect recent evidence about HCM treatment and management including new forms of pharmacologic management; participation in vigorous recreational activities and competitive sports; and risk stratification for suddencardiacdeath (SCD) with an emphasis on pediatric patients.
The limb lead abnormalities appear to be part of the Brugada pattern, as described in this article: Inferior and Lateral Electrocardiographic RepolarizationAbnormalities in Brugada Syndrome Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with suddencardiacdeath (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias.
ACM is a form of genetic heart disease characterized by scarring in the heart muscle. This scarring increases the risk of dangerously fast heartrhythms that can lead to suddencardiacdeath (SCD). There are currently no approved medical therapies that have been shown to prevent progression of ACM.
