Abstract

COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving public health emergency that has largely impacted the provision of healthcare services around the world. The challenge for electrophysiology teams is double; on one side preventing disease spread by limiting all nonessential face-to-face interactions, but at the same time ensuring continued care for patients who need it. These guidelines contain recommendations regarding triaging in order to define what procedures, device checks and clinic visits can be postponed during the pandemic. We also discuss best practices to protect patients and healthcare workers and provide guidance for the management of COVID-19 patients with arrhythmic conditions.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.

"Stammzell-Pflaster" gegen geschwächte Herzen: Hoffnung oder Hype?

Eine Nature-Publikation zur Behandlung der Herzinsuffizienz mit von Stammzellen abgeleiteten Herzzellen sorgt in Publikumsmedien für Wirbel. Deren Erkenntnisse sind in der Tat spektakulär – und gleichzeitig vorläufig und ernüchternd.
