The year in cardiovascular medicine 2020: arrhythmias
Summary of the progress in arrhythmias in 2020. RACE4 and ALL-IN indicated that integrated nurse-led care improves outcomes in AF patients.3,4 The same was reported for early rhythm control therapy15 and cryoablation as initial AF treatment.25,26 Subcutaneous ICD was non-inferior to classical transvenous ICD therapy in PRAETORIAN.54 One mechanistic study showed that autoantibodies against misexpressed actin, keratin, and connexin-43 proteins create a blood-borne biomarker profile enhancing diagnosis of Brugada syndrome.50 Another mechanistic study indicated that transseptal LV pacing yields similar improvement in contracti...

What Makes Us Tick?Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young all received a share of the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm
The existence of an internal biological clock has been known since ancient times, but the inner workings of that clock —what makes life on earth tick—remained a mystery until the three American geneticists investigated the clock’s inner workings and explained how plants, mammals, and humans adapt their circadian rhythm to synchronize with the Earth’s rotation.

Where is renal nerve ablation going?Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) has been introduced to reduce sympathetic nerve activity by interrupting afferent and efferent sympathetic nerve signalling.1 While early trials demonstrated heterogeneous changes in blood pressure (BP),2,3 the second generation of sham-controlled trials were able to reaffirm proof of concept for RDN.4 –6
In both the absence (SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED)4 and the presence (SPYRAL HTN-ON MED)5 of antihypertensive medication, radiofrequency-based RDN using the Symplicity Spyral multielectrode RDN catheter (Medtronic; Galway, Ireland) lowered office and ambulatory BP.Similarly, in the sham-controlled RADIANCE-HTN SOLO trial, RDN using the ultrasound-based Paradise catheter system (Recor; Palo Alto, CA, USA) significantly reduced daytime ambulatory systolic BP between baseline and 2  months in patients without concomitant antihypertensive medications.6A third catheter system, the Peregrine catheter-system (Ablative Solutions; San Jose...

A rescued left ventricle free wall rupture in MINOCA
A 64-year-old woman presented to our emergency department complaining of acute chest pain. Her history included: arterial hypertension, overweight, smoking; implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant for ventricular fibrillation ascribed to vasospastic angina (2012); ICD lead infective endocarditis treated by surgical device removal (right minithoracotomy approach) and complicated by pericardial effusion (2018).
