An analysis based on a proposed heart failure risk prediction tool reveals that the incidence of heart failure may be 2- to 3-fold higher among American Indian adults compared to people in other population groups. The risk prediction equation focused on diabetes control and kidney damage indicates that smoking, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, previous heart attack and diabetes-related kidney damage are associated with increased risk of developing heart failure among American Indian adults.

Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) during sinus rhythm often relies on isochronal late activation mapping (ILAM), a validated means of isthmus identification, whereby points are binned by local activation time (LAT) into 8 isochrones, and isthmus regions are identified as regions with isochronal crowding. The resulting output, however, is inherently discretized and loss of LAT data occurs.

Digoxin is widely used in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the heart failure (HF) syndrome. Significant numbers of people are prescribed digoxin every year; 2,560,941 prescriptions for digoxin were issued by general practitioners in England in 2023. 1 Digoxin predominantly acts by increasing vagal tone. This reduces heart rate and increases diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV), resulting in an improvement in LV function.

Digoxin has been used in the management of chronic heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) for over 250 years. It is the only drug that combines an inotropic effect with a reduction in ventricular rate in AF. Therefore, in theory it should be an ideal treatment for HF, especially when there is co-existent AF. However, due to concerns about arrhythmia and toxicity, its use has declined dramatically over recent decades.
