Background The Aveir leadless pacemaker employs an active fixation method, enabling real-time monitoring of electrical parameters during implantation. However, comprehensive studies regarding the electrical parameters during this procedure are rare. Objective This study aims to analyze the electrical characteristics to further guide the implantation strategy and improve device stability and safety. Methods This multi-center retrospective study enrolled 119 patients (mean age 70.18 years; 59.58% female) who received the Aveir VR leadless pacemaker from November 2024 to May 2025 across ten centers in China. Intraprocedural variations in commanded electrogram (CEGM), current of injury (COI), impedance, pacing threshold, and sensing parameters were meticulously documented. Results CEGM mapping demonstrated various morphologies (R, RS, QR, QRS, and QS) aiding localization. During fixation, 58.82% of patients exhibited an increased COI from mapping to 0.5 turns, which was associated with reduced short-term pacing thresholds. From 0.5 to 1 turn, 52.94% showed further COI increases. ROC analysis revealed that an impedance increase has predictive value for short-term pacing thresholds, with an AUC of 0.634 and a cut-off value of 230 Ω (sensitivity 0.622, specificity 0.41). Lead stability showed a moderate correlation with impedance increase (ρ=0.44, P<0.001), while the correlation with COI was weak. Conclusion During Aveir implantation, CEGM variations guide site localization. Initial COI increases (0-0.5 turns) are linked to optimal short-term thresholds. Monitoring impedance increase is vital, as a threshold of 230 Ω serves as a key indicator of device stability and fixation quality. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Clinical Trial Not applicable. ### Funding Statement This research was funded by a grant from the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (Grant No. #3332024039). ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.

BACKGROUND:International studies have shown that use of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) could reduce lead-related complications while maintaining adequate defibrillation performance; however, data from the Chinese population or other Asian groups are limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS:SCOPE is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study. Two hundred patients with primary prevention indication for sudden cardiac death (SCD), who are candidates for S-ICD, will be enrolled. From the same population, another 200 patients who are candidates for transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (TV-ICD) will be enrolled after being matched for age, sex, SCD high-risk etiology (ischemic cardiomyopathy, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, ion channel disease, and other) and atrial fibrillation in a 1: 1 ratio with enrolled S-ICD patients. All the patients will be followed for 18 months under standard of care. RESULTS:The primary endpoint is proportion of patients free from inappropriate shock (IAS) at 18 months in the S-ICD group. The lower 95% confidence bound of the proportion will be compared with a performance goal of 90.3%, which was derived from the previous meta-analysis. The comparisons between S-ICD and TV-ICD on IAS, appropriate shock, and complications will be used as secondary endpoints without formal assumptions. CONCLUSIONS:This is the first prospective multicenter study focusing on the long-term performance of S-ICD in a Chinese population. By comparing with the data derived from international historical studies and a matched TV-ICD group, data from SCOPE will allow for the assessment of S-ICD in the Chinese population in a contemporary real-world implantation level and programming techniques, which will help us to further modify the device implantation and programming protocol in this specific population in the future.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of CT angiography combined with 3-lead dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG-3) in coronary heart disease (CHD) myocardial ischemia. Method The source of the cases is a total of 82 patients with CHD myocardial ischemia admitted from February 2019 to February 2021. The selected patients undergo DCG-3 examination first, and then receive CT angiography. The detection rate of DCG-3 examination and CT angiography combined with DCG-3 examination for CHD myocardial ischemia was counted, and the diagnostic efficiency was evaluated.Result The detection rate of CT angiography combined with DCG-3 was 93.90%, which was no significant difference compared with the detection rate of DCG-3 (89.02%) (P>0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity of CT angiography combined with DCG-3 for CHD myocardial ischemia was 96.10%, which was equivalent to 89.04% with DCG-3 alone (P>0.05);the specificity and accuracy of CT angiography combined with DCG-3 for CHD myocardial ischemia were 80.00% and 95.12%, respectively. Compared with DCG-3, the detection rate was 66.67% and 86.59%, which was significantly higher (P<0.05).Conclusion CT angiography combined with DCG-3 has high diagnostic efficiency in CHDX myocardial ischemia, and can be promoted in clinical practice.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. QT interval prolongation is a congenital or acquired condition that is associated with an increased risk of torsade de pointes (TdP), sudden cardiac death (SCD), and all-cause mortality in the general population. The prevalence of acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) is high, and various acquired conditions contribute to the prolonged QT interval in patients with CKD. More notably, the prolonged QT interval in CKD is an independent risk factor for SCD and all-cause mortality. In this review, we focus on the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, underlying mechanisms and treatments of aLQTS in CKD, promoting the management of aLQTS in CKD patients.

Using ECG-gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), we sought to develop and validate a new method to recommend left ventricular (LV) lead positions in order to improve volumetric response and long-term prognosis after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Seventy-nine patients received gated SPECT MPI at baseline, and echocardiography at baseline and follow-up. The volumetric response referred to a reduction of ≥ 15% in LV end-systolic volume 6 months after CRT. After excluding apical, septal, and scarred segments, there were three levels of recommended segments: (1) the optimal recommendation: the latest contracting viable segment; (2) the 2nd recommendation: the late contracting viable segments whose contraction delays were within 10° of the optimal recommendation; and (3) the 3rd recommendation: the viable segments adjacent to the optimal recommendation when there was no late contracting viable segment. After excluding 11 patients whose LV lead was placed in apical or scarred segments, 75.6% of the patients concordant to recommended LV segments (n = 41) responded to CRT while 51.9% of those with non-recommended LV lead locations (n = 27) were responders (P = .043). Response rates were 76.9%, 76.9% , and 73.3% (P = .967), respectively, when LV lead was implanted in the optimal recommendation (n = 13), the 2nd recommendation (n = 13), and the 3rd recommendation (n = 15). LV leads placed at recommended segments reduced composite events of all-cause mortality or heart failure (HF) rehospitalization compared with pacing at non-recommended segments (log-rank χ2 = 5.623, P = .018). Pacing in the recommended LV lead segments identified on gated SPECT MPI was associated with improved volumetric response to CRT and long-term prognosis.
目的 探讨巴尼地平,氨氯地平和缬沙坦在它们各自血浆游离治疗浓度下对急性心肌缺血与再灌注心律失常发生的作用.方法 用兔左心室冠状动脉灌流楔形标本作为急性心肌缺血与再灌注的模型,记录跨壁心电图和心肌收缩力.并对心肌缺血后再灌注静脉流出液的乳酸浓度进行测量.在进行急性心肌缺血30 min之前,给兔左心室冠状动脉灌流楔形的灌流液中分别加入巴尼地平、氨氯地平和缬沙坦.总缺血时间为40 min,然后再灌注10 min.巴尼地平、氨氯地平和缬沙坦的作用与同一时间匹配的对照组相比.结果 巴尼地平(0.2 nmol/L)、氨氯地平(1.5 nmol/L)和缬沙坦(2μmol/L)对正常灌流兔左心室楔形标本QRS间期,QT间期以及频率依赖性心肌收缩力正阶梯效应无显著影响.巴尼地平组,急性心肌缺血与再灌注的室性早搏,室性心动过速(VT)或心室颤动发生率显著减少.心肌缺血与再灌注时,巴尼地平组的7个标本0例(0/7)发生了VT或心室颤动;对照组10个标本在心肌缺血时5个标本(5/10)以及在再灌注时7个标本(7/10)发生了VT或心室颤动(P<0.01).巴尼地平减小室性早搏、VT或心室颤动的趋势比氨氯地平和缬沙坦更为明显.巴尼地平也显著减少急性心肌缺血后再灌注乳酸的释放.结论 与氨氯地平和缬沙坦相比,巴尼地平对缺血与再灌注心肌有更加显著的保护作用,其结果减少急性心肌缺血与再灌注心律失常的发生.
compare the predictive value of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels calculated by the two formulas for all-cause mortality in patients with chronic total occlusive disease (CTO) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods 671 patients with CTO who underwent PCI from June 2013 to October 2017. Preoperative baseline eGFR was calculated using the Chinese modified modification of diet in renal disease (cMDRD) equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, and patients were grouped (group A eGFR≥90 ml/min·1.73 m2; Group B 90ml/min·1.73 m2>eGFR≥60 ml/min·1.73 m2; Group C eGFR<60 ml/min·1.73 m2). Follow-up was conducted by telephone questionnaire, etc. The main study endpoint was all-cause death. The Cox regression risk model was used to estimate the risk ratio of eGFR, including eGFR univariate analysis and multiple-correction model analysis (corrected age, gender, smoking, body mass index, diabetes, low-density lipoprotein and other common risk factors for coronary heart disease). Results Of the 671 CTO patients who underwent PCI, 471 (70.2%) were successful, 200 (29.8%) failed, and 64 (9.5%) died. Univariate analysis of eGFR-cys showed that the difference in HR values between the three groups was statistically significant; the trend test was P<0.001, and the difference was statistically significant. eGFR-cys as a continuous variable (per 10 ml/min·1.73 m2) had HR=0.810, 95%CI: 0.374~0.894, P<0.01. In combination with the trend test, there was a linear relationship between eGFR-cys level and all-cause mortality risk. For every 10 ml/min·1.73 m2 of eGFR, the risk of all-cause mortality decreased by 19%. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), after the model correction, the above differences are still statistically significant. The difference in HR and trend test between the three groups was statistically significant by eGFR-cMDRD single factor analysis, but the difference was not statistically significant after model correction. Conclusions In patients with CTO undergoing PCI, eGFR-cys may be a stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than eGFR-cMDRD.
Timothy syndrome is a rare disorder caused by CACNA1C gene mutations and characterized by multi-organ system dysfunctions, including ventricular arrhythmias, syndactyly, dysmorphic facial features, intermittent hypoglycemia, immunodeficiency, developmental delay, and autism. Because of the low morbidity and high mortality at a young age, it remains a huge challenge to establish a diagnosis and treatment system to manage Timothy syndrome patients. Here, we aim to provide a detailed review of Timothy syndrome, discuss the mechanisms underlying dysfunctional Cav1.2 due to CACNA1C mutations, and provide some new emerging evidences in treating Timothy syndrome from cell to bedside, promoting the management of this rare disease. Impact statement The knowledge of Timothy syndrome (TS) caused by dysfunctional Cav1.2 channel due to CACNA1C mutations is rapidly evolving as novel technologies of electrophysiology are introduced and our understanding of the mechanisms of TS develops. In this review, we focus on the TS-related dysfunctional Cav1.2 and the underlying mechanisms. We update TS-related CACNA1C mutations in a precise way over the past 20 years and summarize all reported TS patients based on their clinical presentations and molecular mechanisms, respectively. We hope this review will provide a new comprehensive way to better understand the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying TS from cell to bedside, promoting the management of TS in practice.
The placement of left ventricular (LV) pacing lead at the latest activation sites with viable myocardium confers better cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response ([1–3][1]). However, placing LV lead at the appropriate site remains a challenge for achieving an adequate CRT response. This
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT)is an effective treatment for chronic heart failure patients.However,approximately 30% of recipients exhibit no response to CRT and the position of left ventricular(LV)lead is thought to be an important factor associated with no response. Majority of the related studies indicated that implantation of LV leads at the sites of the latest activation and away from scar can significantly improve the response to CRT. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI)phase analysis(PA)is a novel method to assess LV mechanical dyssynchrony,the site of the latest activation and scar burden to recommend the suitable position for LV lead. Therefore,randomized,controlled trials using SPECT to guide LV lead implantation to improve CRT response is needed. Rationale GUIDE-CRT study applies pre-operation SPECT MPI AP to evaluate LV mechanical dyssynchrony and distribution of scar and identify the site of the latest activation segment away from scar as optimal pacing site. The feasibility and effectiveness of SPECT MPI PA in guiding LV lead implantation to improve CRT response will be verified. Design Patients with standard CRT indications will be enrolled in 19 centers in China and randomized to two groups(Guided vs.Control). All the patients will undergo baseline echocardiographic assessment,and SPECT imaging to identify the optimal LV lead positions from 13 LV segments. In the Guided group,the implanters will receive SPECT imaging guidance and attempt to place the LV leads to the target positions define as the LV lead is at or close to the latest activation segment away from scar. In the Control group,the patients will undergo routine LV lead implantation. All patients receive 6-month follow-up echocardiographic assessment to evaluate CRT response. The primary endpoint is reduction of LV end-systolic volume(LVESV). The secondary endpoints include reduction of LV end-diastolic volume, changes of LV ejection fraction,and CRT response rate defined as a relative decrease of LVESV by ≥ 15% from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Conclusion SPECT guided LV lead implantation will obviously improve CRT efficacy.
Objective:To investigate the relationship between thyroid functions and platelet test results among acute myocardial infarction patients who received percutaneous coronary intervention therapy.Methods:A total of 122 patients between Dec 2014 and Feb 2016 hospitalized in our hospital of were enrolled in this study and divided into unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardiac infarction (AMI) groups with 45 cases and 77 cases,respectively.The basic clinical indicators were analyzed,HbA1c,blood glucose,LDL-c,HDL-c,TG,LPA,CREA,UA,hsCRP,BNP,CKMB,cTNI,and D-Dimer between the two groups were also compared.Cardiac function was evaluated by EF (%).Quartile group were adopted based on serum FT3 (nmol/L) levels.Test results of platelet such as PLT,MPV,PDW,and P-LCR,hsCRP,D-Dimer among the different FT3 groups were then compared and the relationship of MPV and FT3 in the AMI group were also analyzed.Results:The levels of hsCRP and BNP,CKMB,cTNI,and D-Dimer between UA and AMI groups had a significantly statistical difference(P<0.01).There were also significant differen in FT3 and FT4 levels(P<0.01),while TSH,TT3 and TT4 didn't show any statistical differences between these two groups (P>0.05).In the FT3 quartile groups,the lower of the FT3,the higher of MPV,hsCRP and D-Dimer.Conclusion:FT3 might be negatively related with MPV,hsCRP and D-Dimer,Low FT3 may predict the clinical risks of AMI.
