The entirely subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) (Emblem, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) was introduced as a new therapeutic alternative to the conventional transvenous ICD in 2009 and implantations are rapidly expanding since then.1 Implantation of the S-ICD seems to reduce implant-related perioperative complications such as pneumothorax, hematoma and cardiac tamponade. The aim of this multicenter registry is thus to assess the outcome of patients following an S-ICD implantation in a real-world setting.
The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to evaluate the ability of the Perfusion Index to predict the return to spontaneous circulation of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patient during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The performance of the perfusion index will also be compared to the current gold standard, end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2).
The primary objective of DILEMMA study is to assess whether the "heart failure optimal therapy alone (HFOT)" strategy is non inferior to the "HFOT+ICD" strategy in terms of overall survival 48 months after randomization, in patients ≥ 75 years with an ICD indication for primary prevention of SCD whether there is an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy or not.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have been proven to be effective in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients. However, it is well acknowledged that such a strategy could be optimised, especially through new technologies/devices. Data on the entirely sub-cutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) published so far come from high-volume centers and/or selected populations. The HONEST Cohort -taking the opportunity of a unique scenario with a single manufacturer and remote monitoring system available- aims to collect retrospectively baseline information as well as follow-up of all patients implanted with an S-ICD in France since the first implant in October 13, 2012 until December 31, 2019. An extended prospective yearly follow-up will be carried out since January 1, 2020 until December 31, 2024.
The CMR/CT WG of the Italian pediatric cardiology society set up a multi-center observational clinical database of repaired-TOF evaluated. This registry will enroll prospectively patients evaluated by CMR for clinical indication in most of the CHD Italian centers. Data collection will include surgical history, clinical data, imaging data, and also adverse cardiac events for a period of 6 years.
The study is aimed at studying the direct efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (mycophenolate mofetil, CellCept, Genentech, N015393/02, 12.08.2009) (in combination with corticosteroids (methylprednisolone, Metypred, Orion, 003467, 26.02.2016)) in the treatment of lymphocytic myocarditis: the effect on symptoms, structural and functional parameters of the heart, on the outcomes of lymphocytic myocarditis: mortality, the need for transplantation, other surgical interventions, the incidence of unwanted side effects, and forced cancellation (replacement) of the drug. To compare the data on the efficacy and safety of therapy with mycophenolate mofetil (in combination with corticosteroids) with the standard regimen of therapy for lymphocytic myocarditis (corticosteroids in combination with azathioprine), including in cases of forced replacement of drugs with each other.
Individuals with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain at risk for sudden cardiac death from ventricular tachycardia (VT). Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) indications continue to broaden, yet its capability to reduce the risk of VT and sudden cardiac death remains unknown. Thus, in a cohort of participants with rTOF who are presenting for TPVR the investigators intend to: (1) quantify and localize right ventricular (RV) isthmuses with abnormal voltage and/or conduction velocity; (2) identify which RV isthmuses are at risk of being "jailed" by TPV prostheses; and (3) explore the feasibility of omnipolar technology to characterize wavefront directionality and differentiate slow conduction from conduction block.
The objective of this observational study is to assess clinical benefits of innovative features (e.g. Bluetooth technology and smartphone patient applications) in a patient population that is implanted with standard indication for implantable cardiac defibrillator.
Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Coronary Arteries (AAOCA) is a rare congenital disease that may cause sudden death in young subjects. Frequently the first and only presentation is with an acute event (such as myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac deaths) during physical effort. Not only symptoms are often absent, but also provocative tests fail to induce ischemia or related signs, showing in most patients negative results. For these limitations, the decision to undergo corrective surgery is based on the morphologic characteristics without the support of a functional evaluation. The study focused on developing a personalized ischemic risk assessment with the aid of fluid dynamic simulations. The simulation system integrate clinical data from different diagnostic sources and integrate them with coronary blood flow evaluation at rest and during simulated physical effort.
