Quality of Life and Tachycardia - Cardiovascular Update

Cerebral Blood Flow in Orthostatic Intolerance

Journal of the American Heart Association

FEBRUARY 3, 2025

Many forms of orthostatic intolerance (OI) involve impaired regulation of CBF in the upright posture, which results in disabling symptoms that decrease quality of life. These result in diagnoses such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and orthostatic hypotension.

Recurrent symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) can significantly affect patients’ quality of life and is a common cause of hospitalizations in the US. In light of its outstanding risk/benefit profile, catheter ablation (CA) is nowadays the recommended therapy for SVT and can be performed during hospitalization.

Case report of severe coronary artery disease complicated by malignant arrhythmia due to inherited thrombophilia

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

APRIL 8, 2025

This ultimately resulted in severe coronary artery occlusion, myocardial scarring and frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which had a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. The objective of this report was to enhance clinicians' awareness of embolism susceptibility.

APRIL 30, 2024

In patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) inappropriate device therapy (IDT) is associated with worse outcomes and reduced quality of life (QoL). IDT is not rarely induced by misinterpretation of supraventricular tachycardia, detected by the ICD as atrial high rate episodes (AHRE).

Patients with therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) suffer from recurrent VT episodes despite optimal conventional therapy. Consequent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks can tremendously affect quality of life.

Arrhythmias : A leadless pacemaker-defibrillator system provides antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia in patients with subcutaneous ICDs. Overcoming status quo bias and embracing the latest evidence-based practices are essential steps toward delivering high-quality, personalized care in cardiometabolic medicine.

A potentially transformative treatment for POTS/Long COVID.

POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Let’s call it Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome – that’s not really a diagnosis – it’s just a medical jargon filled term for what the patient has just told us. What is POTS? When you examine them, the heart rate can be found to be excessively fast.

It works by briefly delivering pacing pulses to the heart at a rate faster than the tachycardia. We also now have increased evidence for the effectiveness and tolerability of anti-tachycardia pacing, rather than just shocks.

Abstract Aims This prospective, cross-sectional study aimed to identify sex-based differences in diagnostic and symptom experiences in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Health-related quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol 5 Dimension tool. years; P = 0.010) and were 1.2.7 vs males, 43.7 P = 0.485).

Methods The primary effectiveness endpoint (PEE) was 12-month freedom from documented atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia plus freedom from acute procedural failure, nonstudy catheter failure, repeat ablation failure, direct current cardioversion (DCCV), and Class I/III antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) failure.

The main secondary study endpoints are all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, incidence of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy, hospitalizations, quality of life, time to first ICD therapy, number of device-detected ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation episodes, left ventricular function, and exercise tolerance.

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

JANUARY 7, 2025

ABSTRACT Typical atrial flutter (AFL), defined as cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, often causes debilitating symptoms, and is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, and death.
