Leucocyte-derived micro-RNAs as candidate biomarkers in Brugada syndrome Open
Aims Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in patients with Brugada syndrome remains a major challenge. Contemporary risk prediction models have only modest predictive value. The aim of this study was to assess the role of micro-RNA…

Twiddler Syndrome without Lead Dislodgment Discovered by Remote Monitoring Open
Twiddler syndrome is an uncommon yet dangerous phenomenon usually resulting in lead displacement with loss of capture of cardiac implantable electronic devices. In this case report, we present an interesting case of Twiddler syndrome witho…

Ventricular Arrhythmia in Septal and Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: The French-Canadian Experience Open
Background: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (aHCM) is thought to have a more benign clinical course compared to septal HCM (sHCM), but most data have been derived from Asian cohorts. Comparative data on clinical outcome in Caucasian aHC…

Findings of remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter defibrillators during the COVID‐19 pandemic Open
Background Monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices was highly impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic considering the high volume of in‐person visits for regular follow‐up. Recent recommendations highlight the important role of remo…

A Novel Wearable Device for Continuous Ambulatory ECG Recording: Proof of Concept and Assessment of Signal Quality Open
Diagnosis of arrhythmic disorders is challenging because of their short-lasting, intermittent character. Conventional technologies of noninvasive ambulatory rhythm monitoring are limited by modest sensitivity. We present a novel form of we…

136-81: Validation of a novel single lead heart rhythm monitor Open
CardioSTAT TM is a new “patch-like” single lead heart rhythm monitor. Recording is made through 2 electrodes positioned in a lead 1- like configuration. In a previous study, we validated atrial fibrillation detection compared to 12-lead EC…

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation versus Escalation of Antiarrhythmic Drugs Open
In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and an ICD who had ventricular tachycardia despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy, there was a significantly lower rate of the composite primary outcome of death, ventricular tachycardia storm, or appr…
