Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as a supraventricular tachycardia with rapid uncoordinated atrial activation, beat-to-beat irregularity and frequently rapid ventricular rate.2 It is the most frequently observed sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice.3 An estimated 12 million individuals in the EU and 2.3–10 million in the US have AF, and these numbers are expected to increase as the age of…

Management goals in patients with stable coronary disease or chronic coronary syndrome include controlling symptoms and reducing the risk of future cardiovascular events.1,2 Randomised trials conducted in the bare metal stents era have indicated that an invasive management strategy, which includes coronary angiography, followed by percutaneous or surgical revascularisation, if indicated, was not…

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease that without specific therapy is characterised by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), leading to right ventricular failure and ultimately death. Among the conditions associated with PAH, connective tissue disease-associated PAH (CTD-PAH) is linked with the gravest prognosis (one-year survival of 50%) without…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) requires complex management to prevent adverse outcomes. To succeed with AF, patients need to learn specialised medical terminology and the self-care skills and activation to interpret and report symptoms. AF care involves long-term adherence to medications with deleterious side-effects, such as antiarrhythmics and anticoagulants. The patient experience of AF is further…

Introduction
Since the inception of cardiac pacing, the favoured site has been the right ventricular apex (RVA). The RVA is popular as it is usually straightforward, provides stable lead position and is associated with few complications.
A critical re-evaluation of this practice is occurring, however. There is accumulating evidence that RVA pacing causes adverse effects on left ventricular (LV)…

Atrial fibrillation(AF), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world, is considered to be a rising epidemic.1–3 In the US alone, approximately 2.7 million people are affected by AF4 and this figure is projected to increase to an estimated 16 million by 2050.5 The rising prevalence of AF is mainly attributable to the ageing population6 and survival from other cardiovascular…
