- Abstract
Background: Patients with stable coronary artery disease and diabetes with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly those with previous stenting, are at high risk of ischaemic events. These patients are generally treated with aspirin. In this trial, we aimed to investigate if these patients would benefit from treatment with aspirin plus ticagrelor. Methods: The Effect of Ticagrelor on Health Outcomes in diabEtes Mellitus patients Intervention Study (THEMIS) was a phase 3 randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, done in 1315 sites in 42 countries. Patients were eligible if 50 years or older, with type 2 diabetes, receiving anti-hyperglycaemic drugs for at least 6 months, with stable coronary artery disease, and one of three other mutually non-exclusive criteria: a history of previous PCI or of coronary artery bypass grafting, or documentation of angiographic stenosis of 50% or more in at least one coronary artery. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either ticagrelor or placebo, by use of an interactive voice-response or web-response system. The THEMIS-PCI trial comprised a prespecified subgroup of patients with previous PCI. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (measured in the intention-to-treat population). Findings: Between Feb 17, 2014, and May 24, 2016, 11 154 patients (58% of the overall THEMIS trial) with a history of previous PCI were enrolled in the THEMIS-PCI trial. Median follow-up was 3·3 years (IQR 2·8–3·8). In the previous PCI group, fewer patients receiving ticagrelor had a primary efficacy outcome event than in the placebo group (404 [7·3%] of 5558 vs 480 [8·6%] of 5596; HR 0·85 [95% CI 0·74–0·97], p=0·013). The same effect was not observed in patients without PCI (p=0·76, pinteraction=0·16). The proportion of patients with cardiovascular death was similar in both treatment groups (174 [3·1%] with ticagrelor vs 183 (3·3%) with placebo

International audience; Approximately 10% of ischemic strokes are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) first diagnosed at the time of stroke. Detecting asymptomatic AF would provide an opportunity to prevent these strokes by instituting appropriate anticoagulation. The AF-SCREEN international collaboration was formed in September 2015 to promote discussion and research about AF screening as a strategy to reduce stroke and death and to provide advocacy for implementation of country-specific AF screening programs. During 2016, 60 expert members of AF-SCREEN, including physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, health economists, and patient advocates, were invited to prepare sections of a draft document. In August 2016, 51 members met in Rome to discuss the draft document and consider the key points arising from it using a Delphi process. These key points emphasize that screen-detected AF found at a single timepoint or by intermittent ECG recordings over 2 weeks is not a benign condition and, with additional stroke factors, carries sufficient risk of stroke to justify consideration of anticoagulation. With regard to the methods of mass screening, handheld ECG devices have the advantage of providing a verifiable ECG trace that guidelines require for AF diagnosis and would therefore be preferred as screening tools. Certain patient groups, such as those with recent embolic stroke of uncertain source (ESUS), require more intensive monitoring for AF. Settings for screening include various venues in both the community and the clinic, but they must be linked to a pathway for appropriate diagnosis and management for screening to be effective. It is recognized that health resources vary widely between countries and health systems, so the setting for AF screening should be both country- and health system-specific. Based on current knowledge, this white paper provides a strong case for AF screening now while recognizing that large randomized outcomes studies would be helpful to strengthen the evidence base.

- Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may be activated during atrial fibrillation (AF); our aim was to evaluate the level of aldosterone in patients with either permanent AF, persistent AF scheduled for cardioversion or patients in sinus rhythm (SR). We hypothesized that an increased level of aldosterone is found in patients with AF, decreasing in patients with restored SR.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: During atrial fibrillation (AF), the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may be activated. In this study, our aim was to evaluate at a long-term follow-up visit the levels of plasma aldosterone and natriuretic peptides as markers of neurohormonal remodeling in patients with earlier, documented AF in relation to present heart rhythm, clinical data, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We hypothesized that increased levels of aldosterone and natriuretic peptides were significantly associated with present AF as markers of RAAS activation during the arrhythmia. METHODS: We studied 158 patients with earlier ECG-documented AF followed by restored sinus rhythm (SR) attending a follow-up visit 2.6 years (mean) after primary inclusion. RESULTS: At follow-up, 93 patients had SR. Heart rhythm at follow-up visit (SR/AF), plasma aldosterone, plasma N-terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (Nt-proBNP), plasma N-terminal pro Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (Nt-proANP), LVEF, medication, and clinical characteristics were recorded. Standard linear multiple regression analysis including age, sex, weight, hypertension, congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, present AF at follow-up, total duration of AF disease, ongoing medication, and the LVEF as explanatory variables showed that only ongoing treatment with diuretics was significantly associated (likelihood ratio test, p = 0.0057) with a raised log-transformed plasma aldosterone, although present AF at follow-up was related to a high aldosterone level (p = 0.09). For the natriuretic peptides, present AF at follow-up (p < 0.0001), age (p < 0.0001), female gender (p = 0.0047), ischemic heart disease (p = 0.0154), and ongoing treatment with sotalol (p = 0.0003) were all independently associated with high log-transformed plasma Nt-proANP. Likewise, present AF at follow-up (p = 0.0008) as well as age (p < 0.0001) were associated with high log-transformed plasma Nt-proBNP. CONCLUSION, During atrial fibrillation (AF), the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may be activated. In this study, our aim was to evaluate at a long-term follow-up visit the levels of plasma aldosterone and natriuretic peptides as markers of neurohormonal remodeling in patients with earlier, documented AF in relation to present heart rhythm, clinical data, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We hypothesized that increased levels of aldosterone and natriuretic peptides were significantly associated with present AF as markers of RAAS activation during the arrhythmia.

- Abstract
This review aims to evaluate systematically the safety and efficacy of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (PLAAO) in stroke prevention for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). A systematic review of peer-reviewed journals on PLAAO before June 2011 was performed on three electronic databases. Fourteen studies were identified for evaluation. Overall, implantation was successful in 93% of all cases. Periprocedural mortality and stroke rates were 1.1% and 0.6%, respectively. The incidences of pericardial effusion/cardiac tamponade and device embolisation were 4% and 0.7%, respectively. At the time of the latest follow-up (up to 40 months), the overall incidence of stroke among all studies was 1.4% per annum. Existing evidence suggests that PLAAO is a relatively safe treatment for patients with AF. However, there is a need for further evaluation of its efficacy in the form of large and well-designed randomised controlled trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia and a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Among the gene defects previously associated with AF is a gain of function of the slowly activating delayed rectifier potassium current IKs, secondary to mutations in KCNQ1. Coexpression of KCNE5, the gene encoding the MiRP4 beta-subunit, has been shown to reduce IKs.Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that mutations in KCNE5 are associated with AF in a large cohort of patients with AF.Methods: One-hundred fifty-eight patients with AF were screened for mutations in the coding region of KCNE5.Results: A missense mutation involving substitution of a phenylalanine for leucine at position 65 (L65F) was identified in one patient. This patient did not have a history of familial AF, and neither KCNQ1 nor KCNE2 mutations were found. Transient transfection of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing IKs(KCNQ1+KCNE1) with KCNE5 suppressed the developing and tail currents of IKs in a concentration-dependent manner. Transient transfection with KCNE5-L65F failed to suppress IKs, yielding a current indistinguishable from that recorded in the absence of KCNE5. Developing currents recorded during a test pulse to +60 mV and tail currents recorded upon repolarization to -40 mV both showed a significant concentration-dependent gain of function in IKs with expression of KCNE5-L65F vs KCNE5-WT.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that a missense mutation in KCNE5 may be associated with nonfamilial or acquired forms of AF. The arrhythmogenic mechanism most likely is a gain of function of IKs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Background: Delay of atrial electrical conduction measured as prolonged signal-averaged P wave duration (SAPWD) could be due to atrial enlargement. Here, we aimed to compare different atrial size parameters obtained from echocardiography with the SAPWD measured with a signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG).Methods: In 74 patients scheduled for elective echocardiography, an SAECG was recorded directly after the echocardiogram. We measured the SAPWD and registered clinical characteristics. The correlation between the SAPWD and the left atrial diameter (LAD), left atrial volume (LAV), right atrial volume (RAV), and total atrial volume (TAV) was analyzed by linear regression analyses. The effect of concomitant risk factors on TAV and the SAPWD was examined.Results: Linear regression analysis showed that the correlation between the SAPWD and the LAD was significant (R(2)= 0.11, P = 0.03). However, LAV (R(2)= 0.15, P = 0.009), RAV (R(2)= 0.27, P = 0.0003), and TAV (R(2)= 0.37, P < 0.0001) were more strongly correlated to the SAPWD. The TAV and the SAPWD were not significantly associated with coexisting risk factors.Conclusions: The SAPWD is significantly correlated to the atrial size; most strongly to the TAV. The size of the right atrium, with the sinus node area, appears to affect the SAPWD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Objectives To assess the long term risk of development of permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) in relation to the signal-averaged P wave duration (SAPWD), clinical and echocardiographic characteristics. Methods We studied 131 consecutive patients (88 M; median age 67 (29-87) years) with an earlier successful cardioversion of long-lasting AF to sinus rhythm (SR) at a long-term control visit. Electrocardiographic, clinical, and echocardiographic parameters had all been assessed at the primary cardioversion. The patients were classified as having persistent or permanent AF; permanent AF defined as accepted arrhythmia. Four patients could not be classified due to death or unclear treatment strategy; their data were censored. At the follow-up time, 67 patients had developed permanent AF. The predictive value of age, gender, hypertension, duration of the AF episode before cardioversion longer than one year, total duration of AF disease longer than two years, a left atrium diameter above 50 mm on the echocardiogram, the duration of the follow-up period, and the SAPWD on the probability of development of permanent AF was assessed by use of a logistic regression model. Results The median duration of the follow-up period was 2.68 (0.22-4.61) years. Only prolonged SAPWD (odds ratio (OR) 1.32 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-1.61, p = 0.0067) and the duration of the follow-up period (OR 1.72 with a 95% CI 1.09-2.71, p = 0.020) were significantly associated with an increased risk of established permanent AF. Conclusions Prolonged SAPWD is a risk factor for development of permanent AF. Patients with this indication of advanced electrophysiological remodelling should be monitored closely and in case of recurrent AF rate control strategy should be considered early in the course.

- Abstract
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease that can lead to severe heart complications, i.e. congestive heart failure, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The latter are associated with poor prognosis in SSc. The aim of this study was to test whether infra-clinical myocardial dysfunction can be detected in patients with SSc free from cardiovascular symptoms. Methods: Global LV, and segmental right ventricular longitudinal strain (2D-speckle tracking strain) were quantified by transthoracic echocardiography to assess ventricular deformations in 48 patients suffering from SSc and 40 matched control subjects. Results: Despite normal LVEF, patients presenting SSc had significantly impaired LV GLS in compared to controls (17.9 +/- 3.04 % vs -19.4+/- 2.3 %; p= 0.01). By contrast, there was no significant difference on lateral and inferior RV strain between patients and controls. Decreased LV deformation was detected in patients regardless of pulmonary injury, i.e. restrictive syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc had impaired (GLV?) LV and RV strains in 4 and 2 chamber views compared to those presenting a limited form of cutaneous SSc, with respectively, -18.9 +/- 3.47% vs -16.6+/- 3.70%, p=0.039 and -19.7+/- 2.93% versus -17.6+/- 3.40% p=0.047. Conclusion: Speckle-tracking strain analysis can detect infra-clinical impairment of LV myocardial function in patients with SSc who are free from any cardiovascular symptoms regardless of SSc impact on pulmonary function.

Contains fulltext : 215333.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Patients with stable coronary artery disease and diabetes with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly those with previous stenting, are at high risk of ischaemic events. These patients are generally treated with aspirin. In this trial, we aimed to investigate if these patients would benefit from treatment with aspirin plus ticagrelor. METHODS: The Effect of Ticagrelor on Health Outcomes in diabEtes Mellitus patients Intervention Study (THEMIS) was a phase 3 randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, done in 1315 sites in 42 countries. Patients were eligible if 50 years or older, with type 2 diabetes, receiving anti-hyperglycaemic drugs for at least 6 months, with stable coronary artery disease, and one of three other mutually non-exclusive criteria: a history of previous PCI or of coronary artery bypass grafting, or documentation of angiographic stenosis of 50% or more in at least one coronary artery. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either ticagrelor or placebo, by use of an interactive voice-response or web-response system. The THEMIS-PCI trial comprised a prespecified subgroup of patients with previous PCI. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (measured in the intention-to-treat population). FINDINGS: Between Feb 17, 2014, and May 24, 2016, 11 154 patients (58% of the overall THEMIS trial) with a history of previous PCI were enrolled in the THEMIS-PCI trial. Median follow-up was 3.3 years (IQR 2.8-3.8). In the previous PCI group, fewer patients receiving ticagrelor had a primary efficacy outcome event than in the placebo group (404 [7.3%] of 5558 vs 480 [8.6%] of 5596; HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.74-0.97], p=0.013). The same effect was not observed in patients without PCI (p=0.76, pinteraction=0.16). The proportion of patients with cardiovascular death was similar in both treatment groups (174 [3.1%] with ticagrelor vs 183 (3.3%) with placebo; HR 0.96 [95% CI 0.78-1.18], p=0.68), as well as all-cause death (282 [5.1%] vs 323 [5.8%]; 0.88 [0.75-1.03], p=0.11). TIMI major bleeding occurred in 111 (2.0%) of 5536 patients receiving ticagrelor and 62 (1.1%) of 5564 patients receiving placebo (HR 2.03 [95% CI 1.48-2.76], p

- Abstract
Background: Oxygen therapy is commonly administered to patients with acute cardiovascular conditions during hospitalisation. Both hypoxaemia and hyperoxia can cause harm, making it essential to maintain oxygen saturation (SpO
2 ) within a target range. Traditionally, oxygen administration is manually controlled by nursing staff, guided by intermittent pulse oximetry readings. This study aimed to compare standard manual oxygen administration with automated oxygen administration (AOA) using the O2matic device., Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, 60 patients admitted to a cardiac department with an acute cardiovascular condition requiring oxygen therapy were randomised to either standard care (manual oxygen administration) or AOA via the O2matic device. The primary outcome was the percentage of time spent within the desired SpO2 range (92%-96% or 94%-98%) over 24 hours., Results: Patients had a mean age of 75.8±12.4 years, with an average SpO2 of 93%. Those in the AOA group (n=25) spent significantly more time within the target SpO2 range (median 87.0% vs 60.6%, p<0.001) compared with the standard care group (n=28). Time spent below the desired SpO2 range was significantly lower in the AOA group (7.9% vs 33.6%, p<0.001). No significant differences in time spent above the desired SpO2 range were observed between the two groups., Conclusions: AOA with the O2matic device is superior to standard manual control in maintaining SpO2 within the target range in patients hospitalised with acute cardiovascular conditions. The automated systems significantly reduce the time spent in hypoxaemia without increasing hyperoxia., Trial Registration Number: NCT05452863., Competing Interests: Competing interests: Coauthors EFH and JDH hold shares in O2matic, and EFH is a board member; however, they did not receive any fees or support from O2matic in relation to this trial.

- Abstract
Introduction: Intravenous loop diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary oedema since the 1960s and have a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 guidelines for acute heart failure (AHF). While the diuretic effect of loop diuretics is well established, it remains unclear how furosemide influences pulmonary congestion and cardiac filling pressures in the hyperacute phase before significant diuresis occurs., Methods: This was a prospective study of adult patients with AHF and objective signs of pulmonary congestion admitted to the cardiac ward. Remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) will directly measure lung fluid content, and cardiac filling pressures will be assessed by echocardiography with Doppler and strain analysis., Conclusions: This study will examine if furosemide leads to a hyperacute reduction in pulmonary congestion assessed by ReDS independent of diuretic effects in patients with AHF. We hypothesise that the haemodynamic effect of furosemide shown on pulmonary congestion may explain the subjective instant relief in patients with AHF receiving furosemide., Funding: Dr. Grand's salary during this project is supported by a research grant from the Danish Cardiovascular Academy funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation grant number NNF20SA0067242 and by the Danish Heart Foundation., Trial Registration: This protocol was approved by the Scientific Ethical Committee, H-23029822, and the Danish Data Protection Agency P-2013-14703. The protocol was registered with ClinicalTrial.org on 29 August 2023 (Identifier: NCT06024889)., (Published under Open Access CC-BY-NC-BD 4.0. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.)

- Abstract
Background: Metabolic effects of empagliflozin treatment include lowered glucose and insulin concentrations, elevated free fatty acids and ketone bodies and have been suggested to contribute to the cardiovascular benefits of empagliflozin treatment, possibly through an improved cardiac function. We aimed to evaluate the influence of these metabolic changes on cardiac function in patients with T2D., Methods: In a randomized cross-over design, the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (E) was compared with insulin (I) treatment titrated to the same level of glycemic control in 17 patients with type 2 diabetes, BMI of > 28 kg/m
2 , C-peptide > 500 pM. Treatments lasted 5 weeks and were preceded by 3-week washouts (WO). At the end of treatments and washouts, cardiac diastolic function was determined with magnetic resonance imaging from left ventricle early peak-filling rate and left atrial passive emptying fraction (primary and key secondary endpoints); systolic function from left ventricle ejection fraction (secondary endpoint). Coupling between cardiac function and fatty acid concentrations, was studied on a separate day with a second scan after reduction of plasma fatty acids with acipimox. Data are Mean ± standard error. Between treatment difference (ΔT: E-I) and treatments effects (ΔE: E-WO or ΔI: I -WO) were evaluated using Students' t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test as appropriate., Results: Glucose concentrations were similar, fatty acids, ketone bodies and lipid oxidation increased while insulin concentrations decreased on empagliflozin compared with insulin treatment. Cardiac diastolic and systolic function were unchanged by either treatment. Acipimox decreased fatty acids with 35% at all visits, and this led to reduced cardiac diastolic (ΔT: -51 ± 22 ml/s (p < 0.05); ΔE: -33 ± 26 ml/s (ns); ΔI: 37 ± 26 (ns, p < 0.05 vs ΔE)) and systolic function (ΔT: -3 ± 1% (p < 0.05); ΔE: -3 ± 1% (p < 0.05): ΔI: 1 ± 2 (ns, ns vs ΔE)) under chronotropic stress during empagliflozin compared to insulin treatment., Conclusions: Despite significant metabolic differences, cardiac function did not differ on empagliflozin compared with insulin treatment. Impaired cardiac function during acipimox treatment, could suggest greater cardiac reliance on lipid metabolism for proper function during empagliflozin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes., Trial Registration: EudraCT 2017-002101-35, August 2017., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite diabetes affects the myocardium, risk prediction models do not include myocardial function parameters. Myocardial performance index (MPI) reflects left ventricular function. The prognostic value of MPI has not been evaluated in large-scale diabetes populations., Methods and Results: We evaluated two prospective cohort studies: Thousand&1 (1093 individuals with T1D) and Thousand&2 (1030 individuals with T2D). Clinical data, including echocardiography, were collected at baseline. We collected follow-up data from national registries. We defined major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) as incident events of hospital admission for acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, stroke, or all-cause mortality. For included individuals (56% male, 54 ± 15 years, MPI 0.51 ± 0.1, 63% T1D), follow-up was 100% after median of 5.3 years (range: 4.8-6.3). MPI was associated with MACE (HR 1.2, 95%CI 1.0-1.3, P = 0.012, per 0.10-unit increase) and heart failure (HR 1.3, 95%CI 1.1-1.6, P = 0.005, per 0.10-unit increase) after adjusting for clinical and echocardiographic variables. MPI predicted MACE and heart failure better in T1D than T2D (P = 0.031 for interaction). MPI added discriminatory power to the Steno T1 Risk Engine, based on clinical characteristics, in predicting MACE [area under the curve (AUC) from 0.77 to 0.79, P = 0.030] and heart failure (AUC from 0.77 to 0.83, P = 0.009) in T1D., Conclusion: MPI is independently associated with MACE and heart failure in T1D but not T2D and improves prediction in T1D. Echocardiographic assessment in T1D may enhance risk prediction., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: P.G.J. reports lecture fees from Astra Zeneca.

- Abstract
Background: Current recommendations regarding the use of surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) closure to prevent thromboembolisms lack high-level evidence. Patients undergoing open-heart surgery often have several cardiovascular risk factors and a high occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF)-with a high recurrence rate-and are thus at a high risk of stroke. Therefore, we hypothesized that concomitant LAA closure during open-heart surgery will reduce mid-term risk of stroke independently of preoperative AF status and CHA
2 DS2 -VASc score., Methods: This protocol describes a randomized multicenter trial. Consecutive participants ≥18 years scheduled for first-time planned open-heart surgery from cardiac surgery centers in Denmark, Spain, and Sweden are included. Both patients with a previous diagnosis of paroxysmal or chronic AF, as well as those without AF, are eligible to participate, irrespective of their CHA2 DS2 -VASc score. Patients already planned for ablation or LAA closure during surgery, with current endocarditis, or where follow-up is not possible are considered noneligible. Patients are stratified by site, surgery type, and preoperative or planned oral anticoagulation treatment. Subsequently, patients are randomized 1:1 to either concomitant LAA closure or standard care (ie, open LAA). The primary outcome is stroke, including transient ischemic attack, as assigned by 2 independent neurologists blinded to the treatment allocation. To recognize a 60% relative risk reduction of the primary outcome with LAA closure, 1,500 patients are randomized and followed for 2 years (significance level of 0.05 and power of 90%)., Conclusions: The LAACS-2 trial is likely to impact the LAA closure approach in most patients undergoing open-heart surgery., Trial Registration: NCT03724318., Competing Interests: Disclosures All authors declare that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with any financial or nonfinancial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Background: A key decision in the treatment of atrial fibrillation is choosing between a rhythm control strategy or a rate control strategy as the main strategy. When choosing rate control, the optimal heart rate target is uncertain. The Danish Atrial Fibrillation trial is a randomized, multicenter, two-group, superiority trial comparing strict rate control versus lenient rate control in patients with either persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation at inclusion. To prevent bias arising from selective reporting and data-driven analyses, we developed a predefined description of the statistical analysis., Methods: The primary outcome of this trial is the physical component score of the SF-36 questionnaire. A total of 350 participants will be enrolled based on a minimal important difference of 3 points on the physical component score of the SF-36 questionnaire, a standard deviation of 10 points, a statistical power of 80% (beta of 20%), and an acceptable risk of type I error of 5%. All secondary, exploratory, and echocardiographic outcomes will be hypothesis-generating. The analyses of all outcomes will be based on the intention-to-treat principle. We will analyze continuous outcomes using linear regression adjusting for "site," type of atrial fibrillation at inclusion (persistent/ permanent), left ventricular ejection fraction (≥ 40% or < 40%), and the baseline value of the outcome (all as fixed effects). We define our threshold for statistical significance as a p-value of 0.05 and assessments of clinical significance will be based on the anticipated intervention effects defined in the sample size and power estimations. Thresholds for both statistical and clinical significance will be assessed according to the 5-step procedure proposed by Jakobsen and colleagues., Discussion: This statistical analysis plan will be published prior to enrolment completion and before any data are available and is sought to increase the validity of the DANish Atrial Fibrillation trial., Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04542785.

- Abstract
Aims: To evaluate a family-focused intervention for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in addition to conventional care and to establish its effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), anxiety, depression, AF symptoms, and family support., Background: AF is a widespread heart disease affecting the well-being of patients and their family members physically and psychologically. Supporting patients and their family members could potentially facilitate regaining family strength and improve HRQoL., Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed AF were randomised to standard care or additional family-focused intervention with change in global score of the Atrial Fibrillation Quality of Life Questionnaire (AFEQT) as primary outcome after six months' follow-up. Secondary outcomes included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score, the European Heart Rhythm Association score, the Ice Expressive Family Functioning Questionnaire, and the Ice Family-Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ)., Results: Sixty-eight patients received standard care (n = 35) or family focused intervention (n = 33). The median change at the six-month follow-up on the global AFEQT score was 4.17 (-1.46-9.17) in the control group and 5.83 (-2.5-30) in the intervention group, yielding a median difference of -1.67 (p = 0.500). Change in ICE-FPSQ showed significant positive scores in favour of intervention (p < 0.001); other secondary outcome changes were non-significant., Conclusion: The family-focused intervention had a small positive but non-significant effect on HRQoL compared to standard care. To address the impact of AF on the patients and family members seems to improve anxiety and depression scores and perceived family support., Competing Interests: Enter: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2023 Rosenstrøm et al.

- Abstract
Current evidence base for atrial fibrillation (AF) screening is insufficient. An important finding in the STROKESTOP study was that non-participants had significantly worse outcomes. In a group of potentially non-participants feasibility of opportunistic screening in a domiciliary setting with municipality preventive home visits to citizens ≥75 years was investigated. Handheld ECG device was used by trained municipality caregivers followed by cardiologist assessment. Eighty-five percent consented to being screened, and seven of 477 screened were found with AF. Opportunistic screening in preventive home visits had a high participation rate and was feasible. Randomized trials are needed before making any firm conclusions.

- Abstract
Patients with non-ischemic systolic heart failure (HF) have increased risk of sudden cardiovascular death (SCD). The initiation and substrate for ventricular arrhythmias remains poorly understood. Our purpose was to describe the relationship between cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and Holter recorded ventricular arrhythmic activity. Patients from the DANISH trial underwent a Holter-recording and a CMR-scan. The presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) and premature ventricular contractions (PVC) were examined in relation to presence and amount of LGE. Outcome measures were all-cause mortality and SCD. Overall, 180 patients were included. LGE was present in 86 (47%). NSVT occurred in 72 (40%), not different according to LGE status (p = 0.65). The amount of LGE was not correlated to the occurrence of NSVT (p = 0.40). The occurrence of couplet PVCs (p = 0.997), frequent PVCs (p = 0.12), PVCs in bigemini (p = 0.29), in trigemini (p = 0.26), or in quadrimini (p = 0.35) did not differ according to LGE status. LGE was significantly associated with risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.14; 95% CI 1.05-4.37, p = 0.04). NSVT did not increase risk of all-cause mortality in either patients with LGE (HR 1.00; 95% CI 0.46-2.16, p = 0.996) or without LGE (HR 1.37; 95% CI 0.46-4.08, p = 0.57). There was no interaction between LGE and NSVT for the risk of all-cause mortality (p = 0.62). In patients with non-ischemic systolic HF there was no relationship between the presence of LGE and NSVT or any other Holter recorded ventricular tachyarrhythmia. LGE was associated with increased risk of mortality, independent of the presence of NSVT., (© 2022. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.)

- Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a rapid shift towards telephone consultations (TC) in the out-patient clinic setting with little knowledge of the consequences. The aims of this study were to evaluate patient-centred experiences with TC, to describe patterns in clinical outcomes from TC and to pinpoint benefits and drawbacks associated with this type of consultations., Methods: This mixed methods study combined an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. A quantitative, retrospective observational study was conducted employing data from all 248 patients who received TC at an out-patient cardiology clinic during April 2020 with a one-month follow-up. Semi-structured interviews were conducted; Ten eligible patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic by purposive sampling., Results: Within the follow-up period, no patients died or were acutely hospitalised. Approximately one in every four patients was transferred to their general practitioner, while the remaining three-quarter of the patients had a new examination or a new consultation planned. The cardiologist failed to establish contact with more than a fifth of the patients, often due to missing phone numbers. Ten patients were interviewed. Five themes emerged from the interviews: 1) Knowing an estimated time of the consultation is essential for patient satisfaction, 2) TC are well perceived when individually adapted, 3) TC can be a barrier to patient questions, 4) Video consultations should only be offered to patients who request it, and 5) Prescriptions or instructions made via TC do not cause uncertainty in patients., Conclusions: The TC program was overall safe and the patients felt comfortable. Crucial issues include precise time planning, the patient's availability on the phone and a correct phone number. Patients stressed that TC are unsuitable when addressing sensitive topics. A proposed visitation tool is presented., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

- Abstract
Background: Men and women may respond differently to certain therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, including implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). In an extended follow-up study of the DANISH trial (Danish Study to Assess the Efficacy of ICDs in Patients With Non-Ischemic Systolic Heart Failure on Mortality), adding 4 years of additional follow-up, we examined the effect of ICD implantation according to sex., Methods: In the DANISH trial, 1116 patients with nonischemic systolic heart failure were randomized to receive an ICD (N=556) or usual clinical care (N=550). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality., Results: Of the 1116 patients randomized in the DANISH trial, 307 (27.5%) were women. During a median follow-up of 9.5 years, women had a lower associated rate of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60 [95% CI, 0.47-0.78]) cardiovascular death (HR, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.46-0.84]), nonsudden cardiovascular death (HR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.42-0.85]), and a numerically lower rate of sudden cardiovascular death (HR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.40-1.25]), compared with men. Compared with usual clinical care, ICD implantation did not reduce the rate of all-cause mortality, irrespective of sex (men, HR, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.69-1.06]; women, HR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.64-1.50]; P interaction=0.51). In addition, sex did not modify the effect of ICD implantation on sudden cardiovascular death (men, HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.36-0.92]; women, HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.26-1.77]; P interaction=0.76)., Conclusions: In patients with nonischemic systolic heart failure, ICD implantation did not provide an overall survival benefit, but reduced sudden cardiovascular death, irrespective of sex., Registration: URL: https://www., Clinicaltrials: gov; Unique identifier: NCT00542945.

- Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterised by elevated plasma glucose, free fatty acid (FFA) and insulin concentrations, and this metabolic profile is linked to diabetic cardiomyopathy, a diastolic dysfunction at first and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Shifting cardiac metabolism towards glucose utilisation has been suggested to improve cardiovascular function and CVD risk, but insulin treatment increases overall glucose oxidation and lowers lipid oxidation, without reducing CVD risk, whereas SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) increase FFA, ketone body concentrations and lipid oxidation, while decreasing insulin concentrations and CVD risk. The aim of the present study is to elucidate the importance of different metabolic profiles obtained during treatment with a SGLT2i versus insulin for myocardial function in patients with T2D., Methods and Analyses: Randomised, crossover study, where 20 patients with T2D and body mass index>28 kg/m
2 receive 25 mg empagliflozin daily or NPH insulin two times per day first for 5 weeks followed by a 3-week washout before crossing over to the remaining treatment. Insulin treatment is titrated to achieve similar glycaemic control as with empagliflozin. In those randomised to insulin first, glycaemia during an initial empagliflozin run-in period prior to randomisation serves as target glucose. Metabolic and cardiac evaluation is performed before and at the end of each treatment period.The primary endpoint is change (treatment-washout) in left ventricular peak filling rate, as assessed by cardiac MRI with and without acute lowering of plasma FFAs with acipimox. Secondary and explorative endpoints are changes in left atrial passive emptying fraction, left ventricular ejection fraction, central blood volume and metabolic parameters., Ethics and Dissemination: This study is approved by the Danish Medicines Agency (ref. nr.: 2017061587), the Danish Data Protection Agency (ref. nr.: AHH-2017-093) and the Capital Region Ethics Committee (ref. nr.: H-17018846). The trial will be conducted in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki and all participants will provide oral and written informed consent. Our results, regardless of outcome, will be published in relevant scientific journals and we also will seek to disseminate results through presentations at scientific meetings., Trial Registration Number: EudraCT: 2017-002101., Competing Interests: Competing interests: SM and NBJ have received research grants from Boehringer Ingelheim and JJH serves on advisory boards for Novo Nordisk., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Identification of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy who may benefit from prophylactic implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator. We hypothesized that periodic repolarization dynamics (PRD), a marker of repolarization instability associated with sympathetic activity, could be used to identify patients who will benefit from prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation., Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of DANISH (Danish ICD Study in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy), in which patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%, and elevated NT-proBNP (N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptides) were randomized to ICD implantation or control group. Patients were included in the PRD substudy if they had a 24-hour Holter monitor recording at baseline with technically acceptable ECG signals during the night hours (00:00-06:00). PRD was assessed using wavelet analysis according to previously validated methods. The primary end point was all-cause mortality. Cox regression models were adjusted for age, sex, NT-proBNP, estimated glomerular filtration rate, LVEF, atrial fibrillation, ventricular pacing, diabetes, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and mean heart rate. We proposed PRD ≥10 deg
2 as an exploratory cut-off value for ICD implantation., Results: A total of 748 of the 1116 patients in DANISH qualified for the PRD substudy. During a mean follow-up period of 5.1±2.0 years, 82 of 385 patients died in the ICD group and 85 of 363 patients died in the control group ( P =0.40). In Cox regression analysis, PRD was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28 [95% CI, 1.09-1.50] per SD increase; P =0.003). PRD was significantly associated with mortality in the control group (HR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.25-1.81]; P <0.001) but not in the ICD group (HR, 1.04 [95% CI, 0.83-1.54]; P =0.71). There was a significant interaction between PRD and the effect of ICD implantation on mortality ( P =0.008), with patients with higher PRD having greater benefit in terms of mortality reduction. ICD implantation was associated with an absolute mortality reduction of 17.5% in the 280 patients with PRD ≥10 deg2 (HR, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.34-0.84]; P =0.006; number needed to treat=6), but not in the 468 patients with PRD <10 deg2 (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.77-1.78]; P =0.46; P for interaction=0.01)., Conclusions: Increased PRD identified patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy in whom prophylactic ICD implantation led to significant mortality reduction.- Published

- Abstract
Objectives: In this extended follow-up study of the DANISH (Danish Study to Assess the Efficacy of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Patients with Non-ischemic Systolic Heart Failure on Mortality) trial, adding 4 years of additional follow-up, we examined the effect of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation according to baseline N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level., Background: In the DANISH trial, NT-proBNP level at baseline appeared to modify the response to ICD implantation., Methods: In the DANISH trial, 1,116 patients with nonischemic systolic HF were randomized to receive an ICD (N = 556) or usual clinical care (N = 550). Outcomes were analyzed according to NT-proBNP levels (below/above median) at baseline. The primary outcome was death from any cause., Results: All 1,116 patients in the DANISH trial had an available NT-proBNP measurement at baseline (median: 1,177 pg/mL; range: 200-22,918 pg/mL). There was a trend toward a reduction in all-cause death with ICD implantation, compared with usual clinical care, in patients with NT-proBNP levels lower than the median (HR: 0.75 [95% CI: 0.55-1.03]), but not in those with higher NT-proBNP levels (HR: 0.95 [95% CI: 0.74-1.21]) (P
interaction = 0.28). Similarly, ICD implantation significantly reduced the rate of cardiovascular (CV) and sudden cardiovascular death (SCD) in patients with NT-proBNP levels lower than the median (CV death, HR: 0.69 [95% CI: 0.47-1.00]; SCD, HR: 0.37 [95% CI: 0.19-0.75]), but not in those with higher levels (CV death, HR: 0.94 [95% CI: 0.70-1.25]; SCD, HR: 0.86 [95% CI: 0.49-1.51]) (Pinteraction = 0.20 and 0.08 for CV death and SCD, respectively)., Conclusions: Lower baseline NT-proBNP levels could identify patients with nonischemic systolic HF who may derive benefit from ICD implantation.

- Abstract
Aims: Improved risk stratification to identify non-ischaemic heart failure patients who will benefit from primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is needed. We examined the potential of ventricular arrhythmia to identify patients who could benefit from an ICD., Methods and Results: A total of 850 non-ischaemic systolic heart failure patients with left ventricle ≤35% and elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptides had a 24-h Holter monitor recording performed. We examined present non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), defined as ≥3 consecutive premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with a rate of ≥100/min, and number of PVCs per hour stratified into low (<30) and high burden (≥30) groups. Outcome measures were overall mortality, sudden cardiac death (SCD), and cardiovascular death (CVD). In total, 193 patients died, 49 from SCD and 125 from CVD. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (365 patients) was significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-2.03; P = 0.02] and to CVD (HR 1.89; CI 1.25-2.87; P = 0.003). High burden PVC (352 patients) was associated with increased all-cause mortality (HR1.38; CI 1.00-1.90; P = 0.046) and with CVD (HR 1.78; CI 1.19-2.66; P = 0.005). There was no statistically significant association with SCD for neither NSVT nor PVC. In interaction analyses, neither NSVT (P = 0.56) nor high burden of PVC (P = 0.97) was associated with survival benefit from ICD implantation., Conclusion: Ventricular arrhythmia in non-ischaemic heart failure patients was associated with a worse prognosis but could not be used to stratify patients to ICD implantation., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

- Abstract
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia with a prevalence of approximately 2% in the western world. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of death and morbidity. In many patients, a rate control strategy is recommended. The optimal heart rate target is disputed despite the results of the the RAte Control Efficacy in permanent atrial fibrillation: a comparison between lenient vs strict rate control II (RACE II) trial.Our primary objective will be to investigate the effect of lenient rate control strategy (<110 beats per minute (bpm) at rest) compared with strict rate control strategy (<80 bpm at rest) on quality of life in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation., Methods and Analysis: We plan a two-group, superiority randomised clinical trial. 350 outpatients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation will be recruited from four hospitals, across three regions in Denmark. Participants will be randomised 1:1 to a lenient medical rate control strategy (<110 bpm at rest) or a strict medical rate control strategy (<80 bpm at rest). The recruitment phase is planned to be 2 years with 3 years of follow-up. Recruitment is expected to start in January 2021. The primary outcome will be quality of life using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire (physical component score). Secondary outcomes will be days alive outside hospital, symptom control using the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life, quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire (mental component score) and serious adverse events. The primary assessment time point for all outcomes will be 1 year after randomisation., Ethics and Dissemination: Ethics approval was obtained through the ethics committee in Region Zealand. The design and findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals as well as be made available on ClinicalTrials.gov., Trial Registration Number: NCT04542785., Competing Interests: Competing interests: JBF (PI), IR, WB, EEN, FS-H, ODP, UG, CG and JCJ report no competing interests.

- Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) in heart failure (HF) patients has been associated with a worse outcome. Similarly, excessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA) has been linked to development of AF, stroke, and death. This study aimed to investigate AF and ESVEA's association with outcomes and effect of prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation in nonischemic HF patients., Methods: A total of 850 patients with nonischemic HF, left ventricle ejection fraction ≤35%, and elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptides underwent 24 hours Holter recording. The presence of AF (≥30 seconds) and ESVEA (≥30 supraventricular ectopic complexes (SVEC) per hour or run of SVEC ≥20 beats) were registered. Outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death (CVD), and sudden cardiac death (SCD)., Results: AF was identified in 188 patients (22%) and ESVEA in 84 patients (10%). After 4 years and 11 months of follow-up, a total of 193 patients (23%) had died. AF was associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.44; confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.99; P = .03) and CVD (HR 1.59; CI 1.07-2.36; P = .02). ESVEA was associated with all-cause mortality (HR 1.73; CI 1.16-2.57; P = .0073) and CVD (HR 1.76; CI 1.06-2.92; P = .03). Neither AF nor ESVEA was associated with SCD. ICD implantation was not associated with an improved prognosis for neither AF (P value for interaction = .17), nor ESVEA (P value for interaction = .68)., Conclusions: Both AF and ESVEA were associated with worsened prognosis in nonischemic HF. However, ICD implantation was not associated with an improved prognosis for either group., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a tumor arising from the adrenal medulla, most frequent benign and, due to the excretion of catecholamines, a rare cause of hypertension. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma can be challenging because of its episodic nature, unspecific symptoms and rarity. Consequently, treatment can be delayed with serious consequences for the patient. We present a case report regarding a young man with episodes of severe hypertension over a period of at least 9 years. Ultimately, with a possible trigger effect from the intake of multiple energy drinks, the patient presented with severe hypertension, symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome, abnormal laboratory parameters and echocardiography suggestive of severe cardiomyopathy. The patient's pheochromocytoma was incidentally identified in a computed tomography scan during the initial workup. Although a rare condition, pheochromocytoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis, especially in young patients presenting with unexplained hypertension, chest pain and cardiac dysfunction., (© The Author(s) 2021.

- Abstract
Background: In patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) or persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) symptom burden and fear of hospital readmission are major causes of reduced quality of life. We attempted to develop a prediction model for future atrial fibrillation hospitalization (AFH) risk in PAF and PeAF patients including all previously experienced AFHs in the analysis, as opposed to time to first event., Methods: Recurrent event survival analysis was used to model the impact of past AFHs on the risk of future AFHs. A recurrent event was defined as a hospitalization due to a new episode of AF. Death or progression to permanent AF were included as competing risks., Results: We enrolled 174 patients with PAF or PeAF, mean follow up duration was 1279 days, and 325 AFHs were observed. Median patient age was 63.0 (IQR 52.2-68.0), 29% had PAF, and 71% were male. Highly significant predictors of future AFH risk were PeAF (HR 3.20, CI 2.01-5.11) and number of past AFHs observed (HR for 1 event: 2.97, CI 2.04-4.32, HR for ≥2 events: 7.54, CI 5.47-10.40)., Conclusion: In PAF and PeAF patients, AF type and observed AFH frequency are highly significant predictors of future AFH risk. The developed model enables risk prediction in individual patients based on AFH history and baseline characteristics, utilizing all events experienced by the patient. This is the first time recurrent event survival analysis has been used in AF patients., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
