Aim: This study aimed to establish general consensus on a systematic needs assessment model to determine eligibility for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) as part of secondary prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). Specific objectives included identifying relevant needs assessment criteria and establishing consensus on referral criteria.

Methods: A Delphi study was conducted following the ACCORD guidelines (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document) with participation of an international, multi-disciplinary expert panel including physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, across primary and secondary care as well as academic research.

Background: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TICM) is typically reversible with rhythm control, but individual susceptibility remains poorly understood and may reflect genetic predisposition.

Case Summary: A 66-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) presented with new-onset heart failure. Genetic testing identified a likely pathogenic heterozygous ABCC9 gene variant (c.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following anatomic lung resection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite its frequency, there remains limited consensus on optimal pharmacologic management in this population, particularly in the context of balancing efficacy with the unique risks associated with thoracic surgery. This report aims to draw attention to the clinical significance of POAF in thoracic surgery, particularly following pulmonary resections, by presenting a representative case and contextualizing it through a focused review of current literature and consensus guidelines.

Background: The recurrence of arrhythmia following catheter ablation of macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia (MRAT) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is poorly understood.

Objective: To better describe the incidence, mechanisms, and predictors of recurrent atrial arrhythmia following MRAT ablation in rTOF.

Methods: Patients with rTOF ≥18 years of age who underwent radiofrequency ablation for MRAT (typical/cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter, incisional/scar-mediated MRAT, upper and lower-loop reentry, or left atrial MRAT) at Duke University Hospital from 1996 to 2023 were identified.

Background: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare, life-threatening form of heart failure occurring in late pregnancy or postpartum, with variable clinical course and outcomes. We report preliminary clinical and echocardiographic findings from a national Italian registry of PPCM patients METHODS: The study was approved by the institutional Ethics Committee and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05878041).
