Summary: This study found that patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are at higher risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and cardiac arrests (CA) compared to patients without AF.

Summary: This study revealed differing perceptions among clinicians and patients regarding familiarity, educational experiences, and preferences in handling remote monitoring data for cardiovascular implantable devices. Key issues identified include knowledge and understanding, managing alerts, and cost transparency. Despite high levels of trust in the technology, important knowledge gaps and conflicting views persist.

Summary: In a study comparing outcomes of older patients receiving S-ICD and TV-ICD, it was found that there were no significant differences in terms of all-cause mortality, device reoperation, device removal for infection, device reoperation without infection, cardiovascular readmission, and recurrent all-cause readmission.

Summary: This study found that since the era of recalled ICD leads, the durability of ICD leads has remarkably improved and the incidence of lead failures with non-recalled ICD leads has been less than that for PM leads.

Summary: This study analyzed the outcomes of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Among 4,924 patients who received an S-ICD implant, 101 had CHD. The study found that S-ICDs are effective and safe in patients with CHD.

Summary: This study reports the 5-year outcomes of EFFORTLESS registry patients with early generation subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) devices. The study found that the spontaneous shock efficacy remained consistently high over the 5-year period and very few patients required replacement with a transvenous device. Additionally, early arrhythmic episodes did not predict later complications.

Summary: This study aimed to compare outcomes of epicardial versus transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in children. The results showed that epicardial ICDs had more early and late complications compared to transvenous ICDs, but the association between ICD lead dysfunction and reintervention was no longer significant after controlling for confounding factors such as age and weight. Additionally, pleural coils were associated with better outcomes than epicardial coils in this population.

Summary: A biodegradable pacemaker without external leads has been developed to improve the safety of temporary cardiac pacing. This fully implantable pacemaker can control cardiac rate and rhythm postoperatively before dissolving completely. Tested in various animal and human models, this approach overcomes key disadvantages of traditional temporary pacing devices.

Summary: This study reports on the mode of death and outcomes with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM). The study found that patients with ATTR-CM and primary prevention ICD infrequently receive appropriate device therapy without differing in mode of death, which was mainly related to progressive heart failure, compared to those without ICD.

Summary: Many previously unexplained life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) in young individuals are now recognized to be genetic in nature and are ascribed to a growing number of distinct inherited arrhythmogenic diseases. Risk assessment for SCD in patients with inherited arrhythmogenic diseases is challenging due to their lower frequency compared to coronary disease. Semi-automated systems are increasingly being used to dictate therapeutic choices, but their tendency to favour implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation may not always be justified.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate device-related complications in a large real-world multicenter S-ICD cohort. Over 23.2 months of follow-up, the overall complication rate was 9.3%. Early unanticipated device battery depletions occurred in 2.2% of patients, while lead fracture was observed in 0.3%.

Summary: The number of ICD implantations in Kazakhstan is steadily increasing, but the rate of S-ICD implantation remains low due to factors such as insufficient personnel training, high device costs without reimbursement, and lack of pacing function. There is a need for deliberate strategies to remove policy barriers for implementing innovative cardiac implantable electronic devices implantation like S-ICD in the country.

Summary: This study investigated the utility and safety of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) in patients <= 18 years old. The results suggested that S-ICDs can effectively prevent sudden cardiac death in the pediatric population with a low incidence of lead complications or device infections. The number of suitable sensing vectors did not change during the patients' growth.

Summary: In CRT nonresponders, the use of the LV MSP feature is safe and associated with a conversion rate of around 50%, with only a small projected reduction in CRT-defibrillator battery longevity. LV MSP should be considered in the management of CRT nonresponders.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of atrio-ventricular junctional ablation (AVJA) in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed that AVJA did not significantly improve echocardiographic or clinical outcomes, but overall, CRT was effective in patients with AF.

Summary: Lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), presence of an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), higher blood glucose levels, end-stage renal disease, and liver cirrhosis were identified as predictors of hospital admissions for ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in patients with cardiomyopathy. In addition to hospital admissions for VA, lower LVEF and a history of coronary artery disease or heart failure were the main predictors of ICD therapy in this population.
