Feijen M, Egorova AD, Kuijken T, Bootsma M, Schalij MJ, van Erven L
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) significantly contribute to the prevention of sudden cardiac death in selected patients. However, it is essential to identify those who are likely to not have benefit from an ICD and to defer a pulse generator exchange. Easily implementable guidelines for individual risk stratification and decision making are lacking. This study investigates the 1-year mortality of patients who underwent an ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator...

Valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy: reappraisal of their interplay.
Ajmone Marsan N, Graziani F, Meucci MC, Wu HW, Lillo R, Bax JJ, Burzotta F, Massetti M, Jukema JW, Crea F
Cardiomyopathies and valvular heart diseases are typically considered distinct diagnostic categories with dedicated guidelines for their management. However, the interplay between these conditions is increasingly being recognized and they frequently coexist, as in the paradigmatic examples of dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which are often complicated by the occurrence of mitral regurgitation. Moreover, cardiomyopathies and valvular heart diseases can have a shared aetiol...
