Abstract

Cardiac cachexia and frailty are major complications of advanced heart failure (AHF). Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may provide valuable information regarding fluid balance, muscle mass and prognosis. The main concerns regarding the use of BIA in AHF patients remain arrhythmias and electromagnetic interferences with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Reliable data regarding patients on continuous-flow ventricular assist device (cf-VAD) remain scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of BIA in AHF patients on pro-arrhythmogenic therapy with an implanted CIED and/or with a cf-VAD. We prospectively performed 217 BIA measurements in 143 AHF patients at risk of severe arrhythmias due to inotropic support/a history of ventricular arrhythmias and/or treated with CIED, including 104 patients with an ICD, CRT or pacemaker and 95 patients with a cf-VAD. All patients were under continuous Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and clinical surveillance for 24 hours. No adverse events were observed during the 217 BIA measurements: No rhythm disturbances were documented in the telemetric monitoring during or within 30 minutes after the measurement. CIEDs showed no malfunction, regardless of the location meas...Continue Reading

Artificial Heart & Ventricular Assist Devices

Total artificial hearts (TAH) and ventricular assist devices (VADs) provide cardiac support for patients with end-stage heart disease and have significantly improved the survival of these patients. Discover the latest research on Artificial Heart and Ventricular Assist Devices here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
