Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant changes in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mitral regurgitation (MR) post-cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are increasingly recognized. However, uncertainty remains as to whether risk of CIED-associated TR and MR differs with right ventricular pacing (RVP) via CIED with trans-tricuspid RV leads, compared to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), conduction system pacing (CSP), and leadless pacing (LP). AIMS Synthesize extant data on risk and prognosis of significant post-CIED TR and MR across pacing strategies. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases published until October 31st, 2023. Significant post-CIED TR and MR were defined as ≥ moderate. RESULTS Fifty-seven TR studies (N=13,723 patients) and 90 MR studies (N =14,387 patients) were included. For all CIED, risk of post-CIED TR increased (pooled odds ratio (OR)=2.46 and 95% CI=1.88-3.22), while risk of post-CIED MR reduced (OR=0.74, 95% CI=0.58-0.94) after 12 and 6 months of median follow-up respectively. RVP via CIED with trans-tricuspid RV leads was associated with increased risk of post-CIED TR (OR=4.54, 95% CI=3.14-6.57) and post-CIED MR (OR=2.24, 95% CI=1.18-4.26). Binarily, CSP did not alter TR risk (OR=0.37, 95% CI=0.13-1.02), but significantly reduced MR (OR =0.15, 95% CI=0.03-0.62). CRT did not significantly change TR risk (OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.55-2.17), but significantly reduced MR with prevalence pre-CRT of 43%, decreasing post-CRT to 22% (OR =0.49, 95% CI=0.40-0.61). There was no significant association of LP with post-CIED TR (OR=1.15, 95% CI=0.83-1.59) or MR (OR=1.31, 95% CI=0.72-2.39). CIED-associated TR was independently predictive of all-cause mortality (pooled hazard ratio (HR)=1.64, 95% CI=1.40-1.90) after median of 53 months. MR persisting post-CRT independently predicted all-cause mortality (HR=2.00, 95% CI=1.57-2.55) after 38 months. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that, when possible, adoption of pacing strategies which avoid isolated trans-tricuspid RV leads may be beneficial in preventing incident or deteriorating atrioventricular valvular regurgitation and might reduce mortality.

J Appl Biomech 2024; 40:147-154. [PMID: 38176403 DOI: 10.1123/jab.2023-0217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the dose-response effect of a high-load, 6-repetition, maximum effort inertial flywheel (IFw) squat postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) protocol on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance metrics. Thirteen subjects completed 5 squat testing sessions: 1 session to determine back-squat 6-repetition maximum, 1 session to determine 6-repetition maximum IFw load, and 3 sessions to investigate the dose-response effect of an IFw PAPE protocol set at the load determined in the second session. In the IFw PAPE sessions, subjects completed either 1, 2, or 3 sets of IFw squats, then performed 5 CMJs over 12 minutes (1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 min post-IFw). All CMJ tests were conducted on a force platform where CMJ performance outcomes and impulse variables were calculated. There was no main time or volume effect for jump height, contact time, reactive strength index, peak force, or any of the impulse variables. A main time effect was identified for flight time (P = .006, effect size = 0.24) and peak power (P = .001, effect size = 0.28). The lack of change in jump height may indicate that too much fatigue was generated following this near-maximal IFw squat protocol, thereby reducing the PAPE effect.

Abstract
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) significantly reduces secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. However, uncertainty remains as to whether improvement in secondary MR correlates with improvement with mortality seen in CRT. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the association of persistent unimproved significant secondary MR (defined as moderate or moderate-to-severe or severe MR) compared to improved MR (no MR or mild MR) post-CRT with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and heart failure hospitalization. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases till July 31, 2022 identified studies reporting clinical outcomes by post-CRT secondary MR status. In 12 prospective studies of 4954 patients (weighted mean age 66.8 years, men 77.8%), the median duration of follow-up post-CRT at which patients were re-evaluated for significant secondary MR was 6 months and showed significant relative risk reduction of 30% compared to pre-CRT. The median duration of follow-up post-CRT for ascertainment of main clinical outcomes was 38 months. The random effects pooled hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of all-cause mortality in patients with unimproved secondary MR compared to improved secondary MR was 2.00 (1.57-2.55); p < 0.001). There was insufficient data to evaluate secondary outcomes in a meta-analysis, but limited data that examined the relationship showed significant association of unimproved secondary MR with increased cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalization. The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that lack of improvement in secondary MR post-CRT is associated with significantly elevated risk of all-cause mortality and possibly cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Future studies may investigate approaches to address persistent secondary MR post-CRT to help improved outcome in this population.

Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Versus Biventricular Pacing as Initial Strategy for Cardiac Resynchronization. JACC Clin Electrophysiol 2023; 9:1568-1581. [PMID: 37212761 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacep.2023.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an alternative to biventricular pacing (BiVp). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes between LBBAP and BiVp as an initial implant strategy for CRT. METHODS In this prospective multicenter, observational, nonrandomized study, first-time CRT implant recipients with LBBAP or BiVp were included. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization and all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcomes were acute and long-term complications. Secondary outcomes included postprocedural New York Heart Association functional class and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters. RESULTS A total of 371 patients (median follow-up of 340 days [IQR: 206-477 days]) were included. The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 24.2% in the LBBAP vs 42.4% in the BiVp (HR: 0.621 [95% CI: 0.415-0.93]; P = 0.021) group, driven by a reduction in HF-related hospitalizations (22.6% vs 39.5%; HR: 0.607 [95% CI: 0.397-0.927]; P = 0.021) without significant difference in all-cause mortality (5.5% vs 11.9%; P = 0.19) or differences in long-term complications (LBBAP: 9.4% vs BiVp: 15.2%; P = 0.146). LBBAP resulted in shorter procedural (95 minutes [IQR: 65-120 minutes] vs 129 minutes [IQR: 103-162 minutes]; P < 0.001) and fluoroscopy times (12 minutes [IQR: 7.4-21.1 minutes] vs 21.7 minutes [IQR: 14.3-30 minutes]; P < 0.001), shorter QRS duration (123.7 ± 18 milliseconds vs 149.3 ± 29.1 milliseconds; P < 0.001), and higher postprocedural left ventricular ejection fraction (34.1% ± 12.5% vs 31.4% ± 10.8%; P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS LBBAP as an initial CRT strategy resulted in a lower risk of HF-related hospitalizations compared to BiVp. A reduction in procedural and fluoroscopy times, shorter paced QRS duration, and improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction compared with BiVp were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epicardial access (EA) has emerged as an increasingly important approach for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and to perform other interventional cardiology procedures. EA is frequently underutilized because the current approach is challenging and carries a high risk of life-threatening complications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of the SAFER (Sustained Apnea for Epicardial Access With Right Ventriculography) epicardial approach. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent EA with the SAFER technique were included in this multicenter study. The primary efficacy outcome was the successful achievement of EA. The primary safety outcomes included right ventricular (RV) perforation, major hemorrhagic pericardial effusion (HPE), and bleeding requiring surgical intervention. Secondary outcomes included procedural characteristics and any complications. Our results were compared with those from previous studies describing other EA techniques to assess differences in outcomes. RESULTS A total of 105 patients undergoing EA with the SAFER approach from June 2021 to February 2023 were included. EA was used for ventricular tachycardia ablation in 98 patients (93.4%), left atrial appendage closure in 6 patients (5.7%), and phrenic nerve displacement in 1 patient (0.9%). EA was successful in all subjects (100%). The median time to EA was 7 minutes (IQR: 5-14 minutes). No cases of RV perforation, HPE, or need of surgical intervention were observed in this cohort. Comparing our results with previous studies about EA, the SAFER epicardial approach resulted in a significant reduction in major pericardial bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The SAFER epicardial approach is a simple, efficient, effective, and low-cost technique easily reproducible across multiple centers. It is associated with lower complication rates than previously reported techniques for EA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, the prediction of malignant ventricular arrhythmias has remained elusive. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether daily remote-monitoring data may predict appropriate ICD therapies for ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of IMPACT (Randomized trial of atrial arrhythmia monitoring to guide anticoagulation in patients with implanted defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization devices), a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial of 2,718 patients evaluating atrial tachyarrhythmias and anticoagulation for patients with heart failure and ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator devices. All device therapies were adjudicated as either appropriate (to treat ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) or inappropriate (all others). Remote monitoring data in the 30 days before device therapy were utilized to develop separate multivariable logistic regression and neural network models to predict appropriate device therapies. RESULTS A total of 59,807 device transmissions were available for 2,413 patients (age 64 ± 11 years, 26% women, 64% ICD). Appropriate device therapies (141 shocks, 10 antitachycardia pacing) were delivered to 151 patients. Logistic regression identified shock lead impedance and ventricular ectopy as significantly associated with increased risk of appropriate device therapy (sensitivity 39%, specificity 91%, AUC: 0.72). Neural network modeling yielded significantly better (P < 0.01 for comparison) predictive performance (sensitivity 54%, specificity 96%, AUC: 0.90), and also identified patterns of change in atrial lead impedance, mean heart rate, and patient activity as predictors of appropriate therapies. CONCLUSIONS Daily remote monitoring data may be utilized to predict malignant ventricular arrhythmias in the 30 days before device therapies. Neural networks complement and enhance conventional approaches to risk stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) living in rural areas have difficulty obtaining follow-up visits for device interrogation and programming in specialized healthcare facilities. OBJECTIVE To describe the use of an assisted reality device designed to provide front-line workers with real-time online support from a remotely located specialist (Realwear HTM-1; Realwear) during CIED assistance in distant rural areas. METHODS This is a prospective study of patients requiring CIED interrogation using the Realwear HMT-1 in a remote rural population in Colombia between April 2021 and June 2022. CIED interrogation and device programming were performed by a general practitioner and guided by a cardiac electrophysiologist. Non-CIED-related medical interventions were allowed and analyzed. The primary objective was to determine the incidence of clinically significant CIED alerts. Secondary objectives were the changes medical interventions used to treat the events found in the device interrogations regarding non-CIED related conditions. RESULTS A total of 205 CIED interrogations were performed on 139 patients (age 69 ± 14 years; 54% female). Clinically significant CIED alerts were reported in 42% of CIED interrogations, consisting of the detection of significant arrhythmias (35%), lead malfunction (3%), and device in elective replacement interval (3.9%). Oral anticoagulation was initiated in 8% of patients and general medical/cardiac interventions unrelated to the CIED were performed in 52% of CIED encounters. CONCLUSION Remote assistance using a commercially available assisted reality device has the potential to provide specialized healthcare to patients in difficult-to-reach areas, overcoming current difficulties associated with RM, including the inability to change device programming. Additionally, these interactions provided care beyond CIED-related interventions, thus delivering significant social and clinical impact to remote rural populations.

Abstract
Methodologies in applied sport science have predominantly driven a reductionist grounding to component-specific mechanisms to drive athlete training and care. While linear mechanistic approaches provide useful insights, they have impeded progress in the development of more complex network physiology models that consider the temporal and spatial interactions of multiple factors within and across systems and subsystems. For this, a more sophisticated approach is needed and the development of such a methodological framework can be considered a Sport Grand Challenge. Specifically, a transdisciplinary phenomics-based scientific and modeling framework has merit. Phenomics is a relatively new area in human precision medicine, but it is also a developed area of research in the plant and evolutionary biology sciences. The convergence of innovative precision medicine, portable non-destructive measurement technologies, and advancements in modeling complex human behavior are central for the integration of phenomics into sport science. The approach enables application of concepts such as phenotypic fitness, plasticity, dose-response dynamics, critical windows, and multi-dimensional network models of behavior. In addition, profiles are grounded in indices of change, and models consider the athlete's performance or recovery trajectory as a function of their dynamic environment. This new framework is introduced across several example sport science domains for potential integration. Specific factors of emphasis are provided as potential candidate fitness variables and example profiles provide a generalizable modeling approach for precision training and care. Finally, considerations for the future are discussed, including scaling from individual athletes to teams and additional factors necessary for the successful implementation of phenomics.

Abstract
Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMVr) is used to treat symptomatic, nonhospitalized patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) who are at high risk of progression to severe disease. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease are at a high risk of developing adverse events from COVID-19 and as a result have a higher likelihood of receiving NMVr. Ritonavir, the pharmaceutical enhancer used in NMVr, is an inhibitor of the enzymes of CYP450 pathway, particularly CYP3A4 and to a lesser degree CYP2D6, and affects the P-glycoprotein pump. Co-administration of NMVr with medications commonly used to manage cardiovascular conditions can potentially cause significant drug-drug interactions and may lead to severe adverse effects. It is crucial to be aware of such interactions and take appropriate measures to avoid them. In this review, we discuss potential drug-drug interactions between NMVr and commonly used cardiovascular medications based on their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties.

Abstract
An athlete's body plays an important role in their performance and well-being. However, game-relevant skills are better determinants of success, compared with physical fitness, in technically-driven team sports. In the professional era, over utilization of resources, in pursuit of physical optimization, can detract from time spent on priorities. Athletes' non-strategic, time-demanding focus on physical preparation/treatments resembles avian 'avoidance preening', whereby stressful situations trigger birds to excessively preen in place of more productive activities. The purpose of this commentary is to explore the behaviors of resource-rich professional teams and the roles of staff dedicated to optimizing physical performance, including circumstances that foster avoidance behavior and create the potential for practitioners to encourage co-dependent relationships with athletes. To cultivate healthy/productive environments, the following is recommended: I) recognition of non-productive avoidance behaviors; II) eschewing unjustified, fear promoting, pathoanatomical language; III) fostering collaborative approaches; IV) encouraging utilization of psychology services; V) recognizing that optimal physical function and feeling good is rarely the primary goal in professional team sports.

Abstract
Aims Atrial high rate episodes (AHREs) are associated with increased risks of thromboembolism and cardiovascular mortality. However, the clinical characteristics of patients developing AHRE of various durations are not well studied. Methods and results This was an ancillary analysis of the multicentre, randomized IMPACT trial. In the present analysis, we classified patients according to the duration of AHRE ≤6 min, >6 min to ≤6 h, >6 to ≤24 h and >24 h, and investigated the association between clinical factors and the development of each duration of AHRE. Of 2718 patients included in the trial, 945 (34.8%) developed AHRE. The incidence rates of each AHRE duration category were 5.4/100, 12.0/100, 6.8/100, and 3.3/100 patient-years, respectively. The incidence rates of AHRE >6 h were significantly higher in patients at high risk of thromboembolism (CHADS2 score ≥3) compared to those at low risk (CHADS2 score 1 or 2). Using Cox regression analysis, age ≥65 years and history of atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or atrial flutter (AFL) were risk factors for AHRE >6 min. In addition, hypertension was associated with AHRE >24 h (hazard ratio 2.13, 95% confidence interval 1.24–3.65, P = 0.006). Conclusion Atrial high rate episode >6 min to ≤6 h were most prevalent among all AHRE duration categories. Longer AHREs were more common in patients at risk of thromboembolism. Age and history of AF/AFL were risk factors for AHRE >6 min. Furthermore, hypertension showed a strong impact on the development of AHRE >24 h rather than age.
