Abstract

COVID-19 outbreak had a major impact on the organization of care in Italy, and a survey to evaluate provision of for arrhythmia during COVID-19 outbreak (March–April 2020) was launched. A total of 104 physicians from 84 Italian arrhythmia centres took part in the survey. The vast majority of participating centres (95.2%) reported a significant reduction in the number of elective pacemaker implantations during the outbreak period compared to the corresponding two months of year 2019 (50.0% of centres reported a reduction of > 50%). Similarly, 92.9% of participating centres reported a significant reduction in the number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantations for primary prevention, and 72.6% a significant reduction of ICD implantations for secondary prevention (> 50% in 65.5 and 44.0% of the centres, respectively). The majority of participating centres (77.4%) reported a significant reduction in the number of elective ablations (> 50% in 65.5% of the centres). Also the interventional procedures performed in an emergency setting, as well as acute management of atrial fibrillation had a marked reduction, thus leading to the conclusion that the impact of COVID-19 was disrupting the entire organization of health care, with a massive impact on the activities and procedures related to arrhythmia management in Italy.

Neu im Fachgebiet Innere Medizin

Neue chemotherapiefreie Kombinationstherapie punktet bei CLL

Zwischenergebnisse der Phase-III-Studie AMPLIFY sprechen dafür, dass die zeitlich begrenzte Behandlung mit Acalabrutinib und Venetoclax fitte Personen mit chronischer lymphatischer Leukämie länger leben lässt als eine Chemoimmuntherapie.

NRG1-Fusionen als neues, klinisch relevantes Target

Ergebnisse einer Phase-II-Studie deuten darauf hin, dass ein gegen HER3 und HER2 gerichteter Antikörper bei verschiedenen NRG1-Fusions-positiven Tumoren wirksam sein könnte. In den USA ist die Substanz bereits beschleunigt zugelassen worden.

Die aktuelle S3-Leitlinie zu CLL strotzt vor Neuerungen

Vor kurzem wurde eine neue, grundlegend überarbeite Version der S3-Leitlinie Chronische Lymphatische Leukämie (CLL) veröffentlicht.  Zu den wichtigsten Änderungen gehört, dass die Chemoimmuntherapie auf dem Rückzug ist.

Obinutuzumab verbessert Therapie der Lupus-Nephritis

In einer internationalen Studie führte die zusätzliche Gabe von Obinutuzumab zur Standardtherapie bei fast der Hälfte der Patientinnen und Patienten mit Lupus-Nephritis zu einem vollständigen Ansprechen der Nieren und war damit wirksamer als die Standardtherapie allein.
