High Incidence of De Novo and Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Cardiac Rhythm Management Device
ConclusionAF is common in patients with HCM who need a CRM device. More than 50% of these patients develop de novo AF that was predominantly subclinical in our cohort.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Listerial myocarditis as a complication of Listerial meningoencephalitis
Publication date: Available online 4 April 2017 Source:Cor et Vasa Author(s): M. Strnadel, T. Hnátek, R. Havlíček, E. Krčová, M. Malý, M. Zavoral Here, we present a case report of a 53-year-old patient who was admitted for an acute ischaemic stroke. During the hospitalization period, the patient developed meningoencephalitis and acute myocarditis with recurrent episodes of ventricular fibrillation that required defibrillation repeatedly. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from blood culture samples. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy and showed a good clinical response. The diagnosis of myocarditis was...

Telomere length: A newly marker for predicting atrial fibrillation?
We read with great interest a recent article published in your journal entitled “Telomere shortening and telomerase activity in ischaemic cardiomyopathy patients – Potential markers of ventricular arrhythmia”. This paper demonstrated that telomere length (TL) was associated with fatal ventricular arrhythmia without a causal relationship being reported [1]. Shortening in T L has been linked to an increase in the risks of cardioembolic stroke [2] and cardiovascular diseases [3]. Recently, the potential relationship between TL and with atrial fibrillation (AF) has been investigated with conflicting results.

Are soccer matches dangerous for patients with heart disease? The HeartAtaque trial – A prospective pilot study
ConclusionsThe match result was not associated with a difference in incidence of CVEs in patients with a past history of CAD, with ischemic and arrhythmic substrate, who watched soccer matches on television.ResumoIntroduçãoFatores comportamentais e emocionais são desencadeantes de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV). Permanece incerto se espetadores de jogos de futebol, em particular indivíduos com doença arterial coronária (DAC), estão expostos a maior risco de ECV.ObjetivosAvaliar o efeito da assistência a jogos de futebol em doentes com DAC na incidência de ECV de acordo com o resultado obtido pela equipa de apoio.M...

Clinical Manifestations and Long-Term Mortality in Lamin A/C Mutation Carriers From a Japanese Multicenter Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Several cardiac phenotypes were age-dependently increased in LMNA mutation carriers, suggesting that ICD or CRT-D could suppress SCD after middle age; however, LVD leading to end-stage heart failure was the only independent predictor for total mortality.

Determinants of long-term outcome of repaired pulmonary valve stenosis
ConclusionsGood long-term outcome can be expected after PVS repair, but complications and the need for reintervention may appear. Older age and the presence of cyanosis at PVS repair emerged as predictors of cardiovascular complications and identified a population that may merit stricter control.ResumenIntroducción y objetivosAunque la estenosis de la válvula pulmonar (EVP) se considera una cardiopatía congénita de bajo riesgo, se ha descrito la aparición de complicaciones y necesidad de reintervenir durante el seguimiento. Los objetivos del estudio fueron evaluar los resultados a largo plazo de la EVP reparada e iden...

In ‐hospital ventricular arrhythmia in heart failure patients: 7 year follow‐up of the multi‐centric HEARTS registry
ConclusionsLower mean age of VA complicated HF patients is a matter of concern in the Saudi population. HF associated with VA increased in ‐hospital events and all‐cause mortality indicating poor prognosis and survival. These findings enable risk stratification and reflect on the importance of early recognition of the clinical markers and predictors of VA prompting immediate management.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy considerations for the managed care pharmacist
Am J Manag Care. 2021 Apr;27(6 Suppl):S118-S125. doi: 10.37765/ajmc.2021.88629.ABSTRACTHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often seen in patients as an autosomal dominant genetic heart disease with a variable clinical course. It is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, and with some patients, there is no evidence of a genetic etiology or presence of HCM in family members. Young age at diagnosis and the presence of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic sarcomere variant predict greater lifelong risk for stroke, heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, or mortality. Most individuals affected with HCM...

Functional Calsequestrin-1 Is Expressed in the Heart and Its Deficiency Is Causally Related to Malignant Hyperthermia-Like Arrhythmia
Conclusions: Casq1 is expressed in the heart, where it regulates SR Ca2+ release and heart rate. Casq1 deficiency independently causes MH/EHS-like ventricular arrhythmia by trigger-induced Casq1 oligomerization and a relief of its inhibitory effect on RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release, thus revealing a new inherited arrhythmia and a novel mechanism for MH/EHS arrhythmogenesis.PMID:34162222 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.053255
