BackgroundSome clinical dyslipidemia cases do not respond to statins, known as statin-resistant familial hypercholesterolemia (SR-FH), in which patients are under a high cardiovascular risk despite statin therapy. Therefore, novel therapeutic alternatives are required. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) reduce cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk, particularly in patients with SR-FH, where PCSK9i may differentially affect pro- and anti-inflammatory me

An electrocardiogram on the day following the implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker revealed two closely coupled pacing spikes at 100ms intervals with the latter being on the trailing edge of the paced QRS complex. Differential diagnoses of such closely coupled pacing pulses include atrial lead displacement, lead reversal on the pulse generator, a ventricular premature complex in the post-atrial ventricular blanking period, and backup pacing pulse following a loss of capture.
