Post-TAVI Branch Block May Be Fatal (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- Patients who develop left bundle-branch block following transcatheter aortic valve implantation are at an increased risk of death, researchers found.

CRT May Help in Some Cases of Cardiomyopathy (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- Some patients have a cardiomyopathy induced by left bundle branch block in the absence of structural heart disease that can be resolved with cardiac resynchronization therapy, a ret...

Study Shows Little Connection Between The Onset Of Osteoarthritis And Single Or Double Bundle ACL Surgeries

Osteoarthritis progression is not more likely in patients who have undergone single-bundle ACL reconstruction, says researchers presenting their work at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Med...

Routine screening with echocardiogram can detect more cases of RHD

Routine screening with echocardiogram can detect three times as many cases of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) as clinical examinations, offering a novel approach in preventing this common disease, accor...

Pacing Both Ventricles Best for Heart Block (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- For patients with atrioventricular block and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, biventricular pacing improves outcomes compared with standard right ventricular pacing, a...

Pacing Both Ventricles Best for Heart Block Patients

For patients with atrioventricular block and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, biventricular pacing improves outcomes better than standard right ventricular...

Study shows little connection between onset of OA and single or double bundle surgery

Osteoarthritis progression is not more likely in patients who have undergone single-bundle ACL reconstruction, says researchers presenting their work today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Spor...

Results of the randomized studies on cardiac resynchronization therapy and the reevaluation of the cardiac ventricular activation in left bundle branch block.

If New York Heart Association Class II-IV heart failure is present, and ejection fraction ≤35%, electrocardiographic QRS width ≥ 120 ms in the presence of left bundle branch block, cardiac resynch...

Resolution of left bundle branch block-induced cardiomyopathy by cardiac resynchronization therapy.

The study sought to describe a specific syndrome characterized by isolated left bundle branch block (LBBB) and a history of progressive left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, successfully treated by cardi...

Left bundle-branch block induced by transcatheter aortic valve implantation increases risk of death.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel therapy for treatment of severe aortic stenosis. Although 30% to 50% of patients develop new left bundle-branch block (LBBB), its effect on cl...

Special features of right bundle branch block in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.

We searched for special features in patients with complete and incomplete right bundle branch block diagnosed as having arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia. Whether right bundle...

Predictive factors and long-term clinical consequences of persistent left bundle branch block following transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable valve.

This study evaluated the predictive factors and prognostic value of new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with a ba...
