Assessment of ICD eligibility in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy patients: a position statement by the Task Force of the Dutch Society of Cardiology
Neth Heart J. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1007/s12471-024-01859-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInternational guidelines recommend implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 35% despite optimal medical therapy and a life expectancy of more than 1 year with good functional status. We propose refinement of these recommendations in patients with NICM, with careful consideration of additional risk parameters for both arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic death. These additional parameters include late gadolinium enhanc...

Design of the Dutch multicentre study on opportunistic screening of geriatric patients for atrial fibrillation using a smartphone PPG app: the Dutch-GERAF study
DISCUSSION: The Dutch-GERAF study will focus on frail older patients, who are underrepresented in randomised clinical trials. It will provide insight into the effectiveness of screening for clinical AF and the efficacy and safety of OAC in this high-risk population.TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT05337202.PMID:38619715 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-024-01868-6 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

Unexpected gaps in knowledge of familial hypercholesterolaemia among Dutch general practitioners
CONCLUSION: Despite the Netherlands' relatively high FH detection rate, substantial knowledge gaps regarding FH persist among Dutch GPs, mirroring global trends. Enhanced FH education and awareness in primary care are imperative to improve FH detection and ensure adequate treatment. Targeting the global suboptimal understanding of FH might require international efforts.PMID:38573436 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-024-01862-y (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)
