Long‐term outcomes of electrical storm patients listed for urgent heart transplantation but not transplanted acutely Open
Aims Refractory electrical storm (ES) is a life‐threatening condition in which heart transplantation (HTx) can be proposed. Nevertheless, the shortage of donors and subsequent outcomes question its place as a rescue strategy. We aim to des…

First-in-human trial of atrial fibrillation ablation using real-time tissue optical assessment to predict pulsed field lesion durability Open
Aims Loss of bipolar electrograms immediately after pulsed field ablation (PFA) makes lesion durability assessment challenging. Objective The aim of this trial (NCT 06700226) was to evaluate a novel ablation system that can optically predi…
View article: Incidence of ventricular arrhythmias after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation or replacement, and driving restriction consequences
Incidence of ventricular arrhythmias after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation or replacement, and driving restriction consequences Open
Primary prevention patients, such as those who have undergone device replacement, have a low risk of ventricular arrhythmia, which could lead to a reduction in their driving restriction period. Secondary prevention patients experienced a h…

Drug therapy and catheter ablation for management of arrhythmias in continuous flow left ventricular assist device’s patients: a Clinical Consensus Statement of the European Heart Rhythm Association and the Heart Failure Association of the ESC Open
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an increasingly used strategy for the management of patients with advanced heart failure. Although these devices effectively improve survival, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are common with a…
