Introduction: Long-term cardiac monitoring has become more accessible with the advent of consumer-oriented wearable devices. Smartwatches (SWs) hold promise for extended rhythm monitoring owing to their availability and direct electronic health record (EHR) integration. We studied the clinical consequences of SW implementation in patients with palpitations.

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.

Background: Cardiac laminopathies, associated with mutations in the LMNA gene, are a rare inherited disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations. There are currently no data on the association between supraventricular re-entrant tachycardias and LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.
Case Summary: A 26-year-old male presented with either wide-QRS tachycardia with a left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern or narrow QRS tachycardia, as well as a history of palpitations since age 15.

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.

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), also called noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCM), is a myocardial disease that affects children and adults. Morphological features of LVNC include a noncompacted spongiform myocardium due to the presence of excessive trabeculations and deep recesses between prominent trabeculae. Incidence and prevalence rates of this disease remain contentious due to varying clinical phenotypes, ranging from an asymptomatic phenotype to fulminant heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, and sudden death.
