Corvia's RESPONDER-HF Confirmatory Trial Supported by RELIEVE-HF Data

DAIC

RELIEVE-HF failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoint and did not reduce heart failure events or improve quality of life in heart failure patients with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). For more information: www.corviamedical.com If you enjoy this content, please share it with a colleague

PO-02-180 TEN-YEAR INCIDENCE OF ICD AND PACEMAKER LEAD REMOVAL IN PATIENTS WITH RECALLED AND NON-RECALLED LEADS SUSPECTED OF PREMATURE FAILURE

HeartRhythm

Cardiac rhythm management devices including pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) can be life-saving and improve quality of life. However, PM and ICD lead malfunction and failure can occur and when severe enough result in recall.

Effect of Paced Heart Rate on Quality of Life and Natriuretic Peptides for Stage B or C HFpEF: A Secondary Analysis of the myPACE Trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of higher backup pacing rates in HFpEF patients with preexisting pacemaker systems that limit pacemaker-mediated dyssynchrony across left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF). No evidence of heterogeneity was found across LV volumes or LVEF for pacemaker-detected AF burden.

Atrial Flutter and Sick Sinus Syndrome

HeartRhythm

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a common condition resulting in reduced quality of life, syncope, and pacemaker (PPM) implantation, but predictors have not been elucidated.

PO-03-162 REAL-WORLD TREATMENT PATHWAYS AND OUTCOMES IN A MEDICARE POPULATION WITH SINUS NODE DYSFUNCTION AND HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION

HeartRhythm

Guidelines recommend permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) to improve quality of life. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have many comorbidities including SND, but the optimal treatment approach for HFpEF with SND is uncertain.

Resynchronising the Heart in Heart Failure

Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Today’s vlog is on the subject of heart failure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heart failure. In addition, the group with the BiV pacemaker were less likely to be hospitalized for heart failure flare-ups.
