Little is known about phenotypes and risk markers of life-threatening arrhythmic events in athletes with ventricular arrhythmia.
Targeted hypothermia, as used after cardiac arrest, increases electrical and mechanical systolic duration. We wanted to explore the electromechanical relations during hypothermia at 33 °C.
The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) Scientific Initiatives Committee performed a global survey to evaluate current practice for the assessment and management of patients with suspected and confirmed chronic coronary syndromes.
We aimed to assess the prevalence of mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) and to explore the association with aortic disease and mitral valve surgery in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS).
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). A model was recently developed to predict incident sustained VA in ARVC patients. However, since this outcome may overestimate the risk for SCD, we aimed to specifically predict life-threatening VA (LTVA) as a closer surrogate for SCD.
