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.

High-intensity, external electric fields (HIEF) have been used in research and therapy for abnormal generation/propagation of the cardiac electrical activity (e.g., defibrillation), and for promoting access of membrane-impermeant molecules into the cytosol through electropores.

Aims: There is a lack of data from randomized clinical trials comparing treatment outcomes between conduction system pacing (CSP) modalities and biventricular pacing (BVP) in symptomatic patients with refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) scheduled for atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA). The CONDUCT-AF investigates whether CSP is non-inferior to BVP in improving left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with symptomatic AF undergoing AVNA.
Methods: This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multicentre clinical trial conducted across 10 European centres, enrolling 82 patients with symptomatic AF, HF with reduced LVEF, and narrow QRS.

Training structures such as every minute on minute (EMOM), as many repetitions as possible (AMRAP), and rounds for time (RFT) have gained popularity for improving sport performance and general health. However, limited research exists on how different relative loads affect neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory responses. This study aimed to compare acute effects on heart rate (HR), mean propulsive velocity (MPV), velocity loss, and pacing in participants performing AMRAP, EMOM, and RFT using the same absolute but varying relative loads.

Background: A high burden of right ventricular pacing (RVP) increases the risk of hospitalization because of heart failure. Data on predictive factors for high burden of RVP in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited.
Objective: This study aimed to identify predictors of high RVP burden in patients with current indications for PPI after TAVR.
