Jan 27th, 2023 - This review offers an overview of the evidence in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of remote monitoring implantable devices. Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable devices has become more and more popular in recent years as healthcare is ...

Jan 18th, 2023 - Adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and without known atrial fibrillation or pacemaker/implantable cardiac defibrillation will undergo implantable loop recorder implantation. No direct interventions will be performed. Prospective obser...

Jan 17th, 2023 - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is suspected as the main cause of stroke in the majority of patients presenting with cryptogenic stroke (CS). Implantable loop recorders (ILR's) are indicated for detecting AF in these patients. The short term (<1 month) a...

Jan 17th, 2023 - New-onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) is one of the most frequent complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and is associated with delayed high degree atrio-ventricular block (AVB). The objective of this study was to d...

Jan 12th, 2023 - Implantable loop recorder (ILR) is still underutilized in clinical practice, especially in the setting of elderly patients with recurrent, traumatic, unexplained syncope. Data on the actual risk of traumatic syncopal recurrence during ILR monitori...

Jan 18th, 2023 - Adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and without known atrial fibrillation or pacemaker/implantable cardiac defibrillation will undergo implantable loop recorder implantation. No direct interventions will be performed. Prospective obser...

Dec 22nd, 2022 - This is an exploratory, single group, observational study involving patients recruited from the dialysis patient population of the London Health Science Centre (LHSC) Regional Renal Program. Recruited patients will undergo insertion of the Reveal ...

Nov 2nd, 2022 - Within four weeks of consent, subjects will have an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) (Medtronic LINQ) device implanted. Subjects will be given a transmitter/charger and a Patient Care Assistant which they will be required to keep for the duration o...

Oct 27th, 2022 - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. AF is associated with obesity and the co-morbidities of obesity, including hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which increase left atrial (LA) size and decrease LA functi...

Oct 10th, 2022 - Patients who have ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation at least 48 hours after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a higher risk of sudden cardiac death. Current guidelines recommend that for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, pa...

Jan 25th, 2022 - While experts agreed with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's (USPSTF) finalized recommendations that affirmed no recommendation for atrial fibrillation (Afib, AF) screening in middle-age and older adults without symptoms, they noted that th...

Dec 20th, 2021 - Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed. Researchers tested two continuous ECG monitori...

Oct 4th, 2021 - In the early days of the pandemic, we were debating the merits of telemedicine to avoid bringing patients into the office. I was very much in favor of telemedicine, but some of my colleagues argued that seeing patients in person in the clinic gave...

Aug 29th, 2021 - UPDATED AUGUST 30, 2021 // Maybe short, asymptomatic bouts of atrial fibrillation (AF) that show up on long-term, continuous monitoring aren't worth hunting for just so oral anticoagulation (OAC) can be started, even in elderly people with other s...

Aug 23rd, 2021 - This transcript has been edited for clarity. I'm Dr Neil Skolnik. Today we are going to discuss the 2021 Guideline for the Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) from the American Heart Association/America...
