Background: The learning curve for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using "single-shot" pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is thought to be short. 3D electro-anatomical mapping (3D-EAM) might provide adjunctive information to shorten the learning curve and improve lesion durability.
Objective: To analyze procedural performance markers over time for PVI using PFA and 3D-EAM.

We describe a case of a woman in her 70s who presented with acute chest pain and ST-segment elevation on ECG. Multimodality cardiac imaging confirmed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy alongside a pedunculated left ventricular mass, presumed to be a thrombus, with suspected embolisation to the left anterior descending artery, triggering an acute myocardial infarction. She received guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure and anticoagulation for the thrombus.

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac channelopathy marked by QT interval prolongation and increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. While variants in , , and explain most cases, many remain genetically unexplained. This study emphasizes the value of genetic testing in diagnosis and individualized therapy.

Aims: Cardiac arrhythmias are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and are associated with poor outcomes. Their impact on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs is increasingly recognized. The incremental economic burden of arrhythmias in patients with COPD and the impact of early detection using ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG) monitors remain unknown.

Stroke-heart syndrome (SHS) is associated with early mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, reliable methods for timely risk stratification remain elusive. Combined monitoring of neurohormonal activation and electrocardiography may help identifying early mortality risk in SHS patients.
