Drug-Induced Arrhythmias: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Abstract Many widely used medications may cause or exacerbate a variety of arrhythmias. Numerous antiarrhythmic agents, antimicrobial drugs, psychotropic medications, and methadone, as well as a growing list of drugs from other therapeutic classes (neurological drugs, anticancer agents, and many others), can prolong the QT interval and provoke torsades de pointes. Perhaps less familiar to clinicians is the fact that drugs can also trigger other arrhythmias, including bradyarrhythmias, atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, monomorphic ventricular tachy...

Biventricular imaging markers to predict outcomes in non ‐compaction cardiomyopathy: a machine learning study
ConclusionsOur findings show the importance of biventricular assessment to detect the severity of this cardiomyopathy and to plan for early clinical intervention. In addition, this study shows that even patients with normal LV function and negative late gadolinium enhancement had MACE. ML is a promising tool for analysing a large set of parameters to stratify and predict prognosis in LVNC patients.

Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Inherited Heart Diseases
ConclusionUp to one third of inherited heart disease patients will develop AF. While common general population risk factors are key in patients with HCM, genotype is independently associated with AF. Amongst inherited arrhythmia syndromes, AF is less common, though often occurs below the age of 50 years.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

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.

Sex-specific Cardiac Phenotype and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
ConclusionsOur results suggest that sex-specific differences in LV geometry, hyper-contractility and diastolic function, not greater degree of LV myopathy, contribute to a higher, age-independent risk of diastolic HF in women with HCM.Graphical abstract

Are atrial high rate episodes (AHREs) a precursor to atrial fibrillation?
AbstractAtrial high rate episodes (AHREs), also termed, subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias or subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) are an important cardiovascular condition. Advancement in implantable cardiac devices such as pacemakers or internal cardiac defibrillators has enabled the continuous assessment of atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with an atrial lead. Patients with device-detected AHREs are at an elevated risk of stroke and may have unmet anticoagulation needs. While the benefits of oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with clinical AF are well recognised, it is not known whether the same ...

Clinical characteristics and outcome of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the Saudi population – A single cardiac center experience
ConclusionThe HCM population in our Center is young, predominantly male with largely reverse curvatum morphology and mitral regurgitation observed in half of the cases. A country-wide registry is warranted to further explore HCM phenotypes in the Saudi population.

Patterns of incidence rates of cardiac complications in patients with congenital heart disease
ConclusionsCardiac complications are frequent in congenital heart disease. Apart from perioperative stroke and complete heart block, incidence rates are low in childhood but the incidence increases during adult life. These data underscore the need of life-long follow up and may help for better allocation of resources maintaining follow-up.

Risk stratification and clinical outcomes after surgical pulmonary valve replacement
ConclusionPatients undergoing PVR at larger RV volumes had similar survival but more overall CAE. A larger study population with a longer follow-up will be required to determine if early PVR provides survival benefit in the long-term.

The heart in m.3243A > G carriers.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac involvement in m.3243A>G carriers has been only rarely systematically studied, which is perhaps why the incidence of cardiac diseases in MELAS is lower than would be expected. Myocardial abnormalities are much more frequent than arrhythmias or conduction defects. All symptomatic and asymptomatic m.3243A>G carriers should be systematically investigated for cardiac disease.

Association of frequent premature ventricular complex >10% and stroke-like symptoms without a prior diagnosis of stroke or transient ischemic attack
ConclusionHigh PVCs burdens (>10%) were associated with and stroke-like symptoms without a prior diagnosis of stroke or transient ischemic attack in the long-term follow up, suggesting more intensive medical therapy with close clinical follow-up will be required.

Safety and Efficacy of Intracoronary Infusion of Allogeneic Human Cardiac Stem Cells in Patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Left Ventricular Dysfunction: A Multicenter Randomized, Double-Blind and Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Conclusions: Allogeneic cardiac stem cells can be safely administered in STEMI patients with LV dysfunction early after revascularization. Low immunogenicity and absence of immune-mediated events will facilitate adequately powered studies to demonstrate their clinical efficacy in this setting.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT 02439398.
