Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rhythm disturbance of the atria that results in irregular, chaotic, ventricular waveforms, varying from bradyarrhythmia to tachyarrhythmia. Essentially, all forms of AF therapy can be divided into two categories - restoration and maintenance of normal sinus rhythm, or control of the ventricular rate while permitting on-going fibrillation of the atria. Although… View more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction.1 The second Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT-II) and the Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial (SCD-HeFT) have shown that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease and… View more

ACC 23: Statins to Protect Heart During Cancer Treatment: The STOP-CA Trial
Author(s): Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie Added: 1 year ago
ACC.23/WCC — In this succinct late-breaking science interview, Investigator, Dr Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, US) discusses the results from the STOP-CA trial (Massachusetts General Hospital). This randomized phase II trial aims to investigate whether atorvastatin, a commonly prescribed statin drug for reducing cholesterol levels, can protect the heart… View more

The changing population landscape in the US has impacted the many levels of the US healthcare system. It is estimated that, by 2050, minority populations together will comprise approximately 50% of the total population.1 This demographic shift has prompted policy makers, scientists, researchers, educators, and healthcare providers to draft a series of national health initiatives to define,… View more

Who should be referred for TAVR
Author(s): Colin M Barker , Michael J Reardon Added: 3 years ago
Aortic stenosis (AS) has a long latent period and then rapid progression with high mortality once symptoms appear.1 The absence of an effective medical therapy for symptomatic severe AS led to a class I indication for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in both the US and European guidelines.2,3 Unfortunately, a study by Bach et al. in 2009 found that up to half of patients with symptomatic severe AS… View more

Treatment of Fetal and Neonatal Arrhythmias
Author(s): Ali N Zaidi , Pamela S Ro Added: 3 years ago
Fetal and neonatal arrhythmias are diverse in type and severity. They include both tachycardias and bradycardias.1 The innate physiological properties of the fetal and neonatal myocardium make it more vulnerable to these high or low ventricular rates. Irregularities of fetal and neonatal cardiac rhythm commonly occur and rarely have serious consequences;however, it is important to realize that… View more
