Remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter defibrillators: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials Open
Background Remote monitoring (RM) of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) has been widely adopted as the standard follow-up strategy [1]. Observational data [2,3] has suggested morbidity and mortality reduction associated with RM …

Rationale and design of the IRON-AF study: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study to assess the effect of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in patients with atrial fibrillation and iron deficiency Open
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with significantly impaired quality-of-life. Iron deficiency (ID) is prevalent in patients with AF. Correction of ID in other patient populations with intravenous iron supplementation has…

Impact of sensing vector on insertable cardiac monitor detection of P and R wave amplitude Open
Background P-wave visibility is useful for diagnosis of atrial arrhythmias via insertable cardiac monitors (ICM). Purpose To compare the sensing capability of ICM with different vector length: Medtronic REVEAL LINQ (45mm) vs. Biotronik Bio…

Magnetic resonance imaging in non-conditional pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Aims There is growing evidence that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning in patients with non-conditional cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can be performed safely. Here, we aim to assess the safety of MRI in patients wit…

49-03: Arrhythmogenic Features of Channels of Surviving Myocytes in Post-Infarct Patients With and Without Spontaneous VT Open
Introduction: The arrhythmogenic characteristics of surviving myocyte channels in ventricles with post-infarct scarring and sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) compared to post-infarct ventricles without spontaneous VT are u…

49-05: Defining arrhythmogenic ventricular scar using time- and voltage-domain mapping (V-T-mapping): a new approach to ventricular tachycardia channel localization during sinus rhythm Open
Aims: In ventricular scar, the impulse spread is slow as it traverses multiple split and zigzag channels of surviving muscle. We aimed to evaluate electrograms in the scar to determine their local delay in relation to the onset of ventricu…

136-02: Effect of Loss of Heart Rate Variability on T-wave Heterogeneity and QT Variability in Heart Failure Patients: Implications in Ventricular Arrhythmogenesis Open
Background: A diminishing value of heart rate variability (HRV) robustly increases vulnerability to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, yet the electrophysiological mechanism of this dynamic relationship is still not well understood.…
