Two ‐incision versus three‐incision implantation technique of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator: Systematic review and meta‐analysis of 2076 patients
Conclusion2IT and 3IT of S-ICD have comparable efficacy and complication rates; however, the 3IT exposes patients to an additional incision without any additional benefits. These findings may provide clinicians with a simpler method for subcutaneous ICD implantation and likely result in improved cosmetic outcomes. Before the 2IT technique can be considered the standard of care, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) must be conducted to assess its long-term safety and efficacy.

Atrial fibrillation ablation in heart failure patients: Where do we stand in 2023? – State of the art review
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure are common overlapping cardiovascular disorders. Despite important therapeutic advances over the past several decades, controversy persists about whether a rate control or rhythm control approach constitutes the best option in this population. There is also considerable debate about whether antiarrhythmic drug therapy or ablation is the best approach when rhythm control is pursued.  A brief historical examination of the literature addressing this issue will be performed. An analysis of several important clinical outcomes observed in the prospective, randomized studies, w...

Post ‐implantation CMR imaging to study biventricular pacing effects on the right ventricle in left bundle branch block patients
AbstractCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for heart failure patients with left ventricular dysfunction and a left bundle branch block. However, its impact on right ventricular (RV) function remains uncertain. This cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study found that CRT did not improve RV volumes and function, and CRT-off during follow-up had an immediate detrimental effect on the RV, which may suggest potential unfavorable RV remodeling with RV pacing during CRT.

An electrogram ‐guided transvenous temporary pacemaker implant simulator
ConclusionThe ETTIS is a promising tool for medical training, displaying both educational potential and efficacy. It has been shown to be effective in learning a variety of skills, including cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology. Additionally, the ETTIS is highly engaging and allows cardiology residents to practice in a safe and controlled environment. (Source: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE)

Fecal calprotectin: A novel predictor of ulcerated esophageal injury after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation
ConclusionsThe level of Fcal is associated with EI post AF catheter ablation. 125 µg/g might be the optimal cut-off value for a diagnosis of EI. Negative Fcal could predict the absence of ulcerated EI, which could be considered a precursor to AEF. (Source: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE)
