First implantable cardiac defibrillator insertions in New South Wales, 2005-2020: an analysis of linked administrative data
CONCLUSIONS: The annual number of new ICDs inserted in NSW has increased since 2005. A substantial proportion of recipients experience device-related problems that require re-admission to hospital. The potential harms of ICD insertion should be considered when assessing the likelihood of preventing fatal ventricular arrhythmia.PMID:38493353 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52246 (Source: Medical Journal of Australia)

Adherence to adhesive patch electrocardiographic monitoring among adults with disabilities
ConclusionsThis pilot study suggests the possible utility of an ambulatory monitoring patch device in an adult population with I/DD. Investigators recommend larger studies to confirm such preliminary findings to ultimately improve clinical management and patient quality of life.

The Impact of Cardiac Arrhythmias on Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes
Cardiac comorbidities are common in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While there is an abundance of research showing an association between cardiac abnormalities and poor postoperative outcomes, relatively little is published on specific pathologies. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of cardiac arrhythmias on postoperative outcomes in the setting of TKA. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)

Circadian Regulation of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology

Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTCircadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are ≈24-hour biological cycles regulated by internal biological clocks (ie, circadian clocks) that optimize organismal homeostasis in response to predictable environmental changes. These clocks are present in virtually all cells in the body, including cardiomyocytes. Many decades ago, clinicians and researchers became interested in studying daily patterns of triggers for sudden cardiac death, the incidence of sudden cardiac death, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Rhododendron poisoning in alpacas (Vicugna pacos) in Northern Germany
In conclusion, rhododendron poisoning might be fatal for alpacas in individual cases and therefore rhododendron bushes should not be placed in the habitat of SACs. (Source: Veterinary Research Communications)

Calpain inhibition takes center stage against atrial fibrillation in the diabetic heart
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health problem that continues to grow worldwide. In the United States the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that it affects 11.6% of the population.1 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting more than 6 million individuals in the United States.2 As noted elsewhere,3 DM and AF affect a population that shares concomitant conditions such as obesity, hypertension and even heart failure (HF). Further, DM is a major risk for AF. (Source: Heart Rhythm)

New-onset tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome following acute non-medullary brainstem infarction
We present the case of a 46-year-old female who developed severe dizziness with vomiting, diplopia, and slurred speech, which gradually worsened to quadriplegia, severe hypophonia, and dysphagia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated acute midbrain and pontine infarction. Except for neurological symptoms, the patient experienced unexpected TBS with the symptoms of excessive sweating, palpitations, and irritability without any other predisposing factors. The frequency of the episodes gradually declined until it spontaneously disappeared the 5th day after admission. Given the unpredictable nature of the tachyca...
