Summary: This study describes the complications associated with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) treatment in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The results show that during long-term follow-up, approximately 41% of patients experienced potentially life-saving ICD therapy, while 27% had complications requiring surgery, mainly lead-related complications.

Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease caused by deposition of misfolded AL or ATTR amyloid fibrils in the myocardium, resulting in restrictive cardiomyopathy and potential death. Ventricular arrhythmias are common, especially in AL, and can be due to several mechanisms including inflammatory cascade activation and systemic amyloid deposition. There is an increased risk of sudden cardiac death in cardiac amyloidosis, particularly in AL. The use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in cardiac amyloidosis remains controversial, as there is limited evidence for their effectiveness in primary prevention.(c) 2023 Japanese College of Cardiology.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of changes in patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic on the arrhythmic and clinical condition of patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The findings showed that the reduction of in-person visits did not result in a deterioration of the patients' arrhythmic and clinical condition.

Summary: This study showed that myocardial scar characterization based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can improve risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmia occurrence in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who received an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD). The analysis revealed that total scar mass and border zone mass independently predicted appropriate ICD therapy, suggesting the importance of myocardial scar assessment in determining the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in this patient population.

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: The study found apparent non-linear associations between night-time heart rate and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTAs) and ICD shocks. An increasing incidence of VTAs and ICD shocks was observed at both low and high levels of night-time heart rate, with a night-time heart rate of 50-70 bpm potentially being the optimal therapeutic target for the management of ICD/CRT-D recipients.

Summary: The benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) in non-ischemic systolic heart failure (NICM) patients is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of ventricular arrhythmias in NICM patients with ICD. The results showed that ventricular arrhythmias occurred in approximately one-fourth of NICM and ICD patients, and were associated with worse prognosis compared to those without sustained ventricular arrhythmias.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the effectiveness and safety of oral mexiletine in adult patients with structural heart disease and implantable cardioverter defibrillators for recurrent ventricular arrhythmia. The results showed that mexiletine reduced the number of ICD therapies, especially in patients where catheter ablation was not successful or contraindicated. However, in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, mexiletine seemed to be less effective than catheter ablation. The main side effects of mexiletine were related to gastrointestinal and neurological systems.

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: Large-scale studies on modern populations with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are lacking. The UMBRELLA study analyzed the incidence of arrhythmia, device interventions, and mortality in a diverse group of real-world ICD patients with different heart disorders. Results showed that patients with certain heart conditions had higher risks of appropriate ICD therapies, while patients with other conditions had lower risks. Regardless of the cause, contemporary ICD patients with heart failure-related disorders had a similar risk of ICD life-saving interventions and death.

Summary: The study analyzed data from the RAID trial and found that ranolazine treatment reduced VTA burden in patients at high risk, particularly in those without concomitant AAD therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-treated patients, and patients without atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the addition of ranolazine did not affect VTA burden in patients already on AADs or those with AF.

Summary: Coronary artery spasm (CAS) can cause severe and prolonged vessel constriction, leading to lethal ventricular arrhythmia. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been associated with CAS. Optimal medical treatment is the first-line therapy for CAS, while patients who have experienced aborted sudden cardiac death may benefit from implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation.

Summary: Metabolomics analysis identified dysregulated metabolites associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and potential biomarkers. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators reduce sudden cardiac death, but current strategies for patient selection and risk stratification are inefficient.

Summary: The study suggests that the levels of CRP and D-dimer are closely related to in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients, with elevated levels of CRP and D-dimer being significant predictors of in-hospital mortality. Patients with lower levels of CRP and D-dimer have extremely low in-hospital mortality rates.

Summary: Patients with heart failure may die suddenly or progressively. The LHFRS model was used to study the mode of death in a cohort of acute heart failure patients, and it was found to be significantly associated with sudden cardiac death and heart failure death. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Summary: Frailty in older patients with acute heart failure (AHF) negatively impacts clinical outcomes. Adding electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to early rehabilitation may improve treatment effects. In this study, the EMS group showed significant improvements in quadriceps' isometric strength and SPPB compared to the control group, with no significant differences in other indexes of physical function and cognitive function.
