TL;DR: The transmtiral dispersion of repolarization in LQTS patients was assessed using Holter system and spatial QT dispersion was measured from 12 lead ECG and 3 channel Holter tape as a difference between the shortest and the longest QT interval between leads.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that TpTe reflects transmural dispersion of repolarization is supported and may serve as a marker of risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with coronary artery disease and survivors of myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: There was no further dislodgment of RVOT defibrillation leads or other lead related complications during a follow-up of 23 ± 9 months, and active‐fixation ICD leads should be considered to limit the risk of electrode dislodgement.

TL;DR: Tall stature, enhanced LVEDD, decreased LVEF and amiodarone therapy increase the risk of a high DFT in ICD recipients, and chronic amiodARone therapy increases three times therisk of elevated DFT.

TL;DR: The purpose of this European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) prospective snapshot survey is to provide an overview of the factors influencing patient selection for the implantation of a particular type of device: subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) or transvenous implantableCardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) or back-up defibrillators (TV-ICd) across a broad range of tertiary European centres.
