- Screening for atrial fibrillation in high-risk nursing home residentsHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 1
- PreviewVarious methods have been implemented for screening of patients for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the yield has generally been low. Targeting high-risk patients may improve detection of asymptomatic AF, which could be of value if appropriate treatment could be initiated before a potential thromboembolic event.

- Wire countertraction for sheath placement through stenotic and tortuous veins: The “body flossing” techniqueHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 1
- PreviewInnominate vein stenosis and venous tortuosity are common findings during cardiac implantable electronic device upgrades or replacements and present a challenge to the implanting physician. Various techniques have been described to facilitate lead placement, including serial dilation, balloon venoplasty, and percutaneous access medial to the stenosis, each with its own benefits and risks.

- PreviewExtraction of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) leads is an essential skill to master in the management of patients presenting with CIED infection or the need for device upgrade and lead revision.1 Recently there has been renewed interest in His-bundle pacing as an alternative to biventricular pacing in order to provide cardiac resynchronization therapy2–5 or avoid right ventricular (RV) pacing.5 Although this may be a promising treatment strategy, it also brings to light the need for further understanding of lead management.

- Novel beta-blocker pretreatment prevents alcohol-induced atrial fibrillation in a rat modelHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 2
- PreviewA case report published in 2019 described a patient who presented with difficult-to-manage atrial fibrillation (AF) that consistently was associated with alcohol consumption. After the patient did not respond to drug therapy, a novel beta-blocker (BB) pretreatment regimen initiated immediately before alcohol consumption successfully prevented AF occurrence.

- Introducing a novel catheter–tissue contact feedback feature in robotic navigated catheter ablation: Utility, feasibility, and safetyHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 2
- PreviewThe quality of catheter–tissue contact is one of the most important determinants of catheter ablation (CA) success. The absence of catheter–tissue contact feedback has been regarded a major limitation of remote magnetic navigation (RMN)–guided CA. The e-Contact module (ECM) is a novel feature designed for RMN that measures the quality of catheter–tissue contact.

- Chronic dantrolene treatment attenuates cardiac dysfunction and reduces atrial fibrillation inducibility in a rat myocardial infarction heart failure modelHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 2
- PreviewCardiac ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) dysfunction and elevated diastolic Ca2+ leak have been linked to arrhythmogenesis not only in inherited arrhythmia syndromes but also in acquired forms of heart disease including heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus, stabilizing RyR2 may exert therapeutic effects in these conditions.

- A novel screening test for inappropriate shocks due to myopotentials from the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillatorHeart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 1
- PreviewThe subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is effective in preventing sudden cardiac death. Compared with transvenous ICDs, S-ICDs have a lower rate of inappropriate shocks (IASs) for supraventricular arrhythmias, but such shocks for T-wave oversensing (TWO) and extracardiac myopotentials are more common. No screening tests to identify patients at risk for IAS due to myopotential interference (MPI) currently are available.

- One size fits all, or do we have to rethink optimal programming in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators implanted for secondary prevention?Heart Rhythm O2Vol. 1Issue 2
- PreviewThere is no doubt that the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has revolutionized the treatment of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Over the last almost 4 decades, remarkable technological advances have made ICDs easier and safer to implant and widely accepted by patients and physicians. The delivery of ICD therapy for treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias is highly effective; however, the challenges of preventing unnecessary shocks remain to this day.
