Left bundle branch area pacing using a lumenless lead: A systematic literature review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionThis meta-analysis including 6061 patients implanted with a Model 3830 lead for LBBAP found an average implant success rate of 92.7% and a procedural adverse event rate of 2.5% with stable electrical parameters and LVEF post-implant. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

A real ‐time signal processing software package for the electrophysiology laboratory
ConclusionWe have developed and demonstrated the feasibility of a readily scalable and open-access Python-based plug in to an electroanatomic mapping system (EnSiteX) to allow real-time processing and display of electrogram (EGM) based information for the procedural electrophysiologist to view intraprocedurally in the electrophysiology laboratory. The availability, to the clinician, of traditional and novel EGM-based metrics at the time of intervention, such as atrial fibrillation ablation, allows for key mechanistic insights into critical unresolved questions regarding arrhythmia mechanism.

Arrhythmias and ion channelopathies causing sudden cardiac death in Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations
AbstractThe limited literature and increasing interest in studies on cardiac electrophysiology, explicitly focusing on cardiac ion channelopathies and sudden cardiac death in diverse populations, has prompted a comprehensive examination of existing research. Our review specifically targets Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations, which are often underrepresented in healthcare studies. This review encompasses investigations into genetic variants, epidemiology, etiologies, and clinical risk factors associated with arrhythmias in these demographic groups. The review explores the Hispanic paradox, a phenomenon linking healt...

Impact of omitting the intravenous heparin bolus on outcomes of leadless pacemaker implantation
ConclusionOmission of the systemic heparin bolus at the time of LP implantation appears safe in appropriately selected patients. Heparin bolus may still be considered in long cases requiring multiple device deployments or in patients at high risk for thrombotic complications.

Association of device detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmia with adverse events in patients with an implantable cardioverter ‐defibrillator
ConclusionOur findings from a large cohort of ICD recipients enrolled in landmark clinical trials show that device detected AF and VT/VF can be used to identify patients with increased risk for CHF exacerbation and mortality. These findings suggest a need for early intervention in CHF patients who develop device-detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)
