Hospitalizations and cardiac sarcoidosis: insights into presentation and diagnosis from the nationwide readmission database

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Early detection is essential to initiate treatments that reduce the risk of heart failure (HF) and arrhythmic death. One-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) was performed.ResultsThe CS+ cohort comprised 1,146 hospitalizations and the CS− cohort 3,250,696 hospitalizations.

Implicity Earns FDA Clearance for New Heart Failure Prediction Algorithm

DAIC

Based on the Health Data Hub complete medico-administrative database and comprehensive datasets from Implicity's AI -based remote monitoring platform, the Implicity team trained and validated a machine learning algorithm that assesses the risk of future heart failure events, enabling physicians to intervene before a patient requires hospitalization.

Amiodarone or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator in Chagas Cardiomyopathy

JAMA Cardiology

This randomized clinical trial assesses whether cardioverter-defibrillator implantation is more effective than amiodarone therapy for the primary prevention of all-cause mortality and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, hospitalization for heart failure, and use of a pacemaker among patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.

Ventricular Fibrillation, ICD, LBBB, QRS of 210 ms, Positive Smith Modified Sgarbossa Criteria, and Pacemaker-Mediated Tachycardia

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Pacemaker mediated tachycardia! Pacemaker mediated tachycardia , also called "Endless Loop Tachycardia," cannot happen during atrial fibrillation, so the A fib must have converted. Another ECG was recorded 12 minutes later: Paced rhythm, probable Pacemaker-Mediated Tachycardia ? The patient was admitted without angiogram."

PO-03-044 CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF SINGLE CHAMBER RIGHT VENTRICULAR OR CONDUCTION SYSTEM PACING COMPARED TO LEADLESS PACEMAKER

HeartRhythm

Introduction: Leadless pacemakers (LP) are increasingly utilized in pts with bradycardia and may be associated with better outcomes compared to right ventricular pacing (RVP). Conduction system pacing (CSP) with HBP or LBBAP have been associated with reduction in death or heart failure hospitalization (HFH).
