Article Abstract

Recently, permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) has emerged as a viable pacing strategy for chronic ventricular pacing. It allows for recruitment of the native His Purkinje system thereby preventing pacing-induced ventricular dyssynchrony seen in traditional right ventricular pacing. Current tools allow for relatively good success rates for implantation. Understanding the various responses to HBP is crucial for long-term success. With better tools and unique pacing and sensing algorithms designed specifically for this form of pacing, HBP is likely to increase as a tool for long-term pacing therapy.

Tribenzoylarsine - A Benign Arsenic Precursor for InAs Nanocrystals.

Physical Chemistry, TU Dresden, Zellescher Weg 19, 01069, Dresden, Germany.

III-V semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as a benign alternative to II-VI and IV-VI NCs, which are restricted due to the toxicity of the comprising elements. While InP NCs advanced significantly, the development of infrared-emitting InAs NCs has been relatively slow-paced. This is due to the synthetic challenges arising from the highly covalent bonding in InAs and the limited range of available arsenic sources.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in heart failure, but prior interventions like percutaneous mitral annuloplasty may hinder lead placement. We present a 70-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe functional mitral regurgitation who previously received a Carillon device. Due to coronary sinus inaccessibility, left bundle branch area pacing optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy (LOT-CRT) was performed.

Background: Hypertension is a major global risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. In Greece, prevalence is about 40%, with many cases undiagnosed or poorly managed. While doctors remain central to diagnosis and treatment, community pharmacists, as accessible healthcare professionals, can support early detection and ongoing management.

Despite continued advancements in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) techniques, the incidence of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) remains substantial. Established predictors of PPI include advanced age, pre-existing electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, prosthetic valve type, implantation depth, and anatomical parameters, such as membranous septum length, which are currently under active investigation. In routine clinical practice, the management strategy often involves the temporary placement of a transvenous pacemaker lead, followed by a period of observation.

Neuromuscular diseases are often accompanied by various types of sleep-related breathing disorders, which can exacerbate the underlying condition and are associated with a poor prognosis. Early identification is essential, and interventions such as non-invasive ventilation, oxygen therapy, and respiratory rehabilitation should be initiated promptly to mitigate disease progression and improve outcomes. Nevertheless, the rates of missed and misdiagnosed cases remain common in clinical practice.
