Article Abstract

Introduction: Physician burnout is a common problem across the field of medicine, resulting in significant negative personal and work-related consequences. We set out to explore the prevalence of burnout in cardiac electrophysiologists (EPs).

Methods: A national registry of EPs (N = 112) was sent a two-item questionnaire, established and validated to assess the experience of Burnout. In total, 51 EPs completed the questionnaire from 2020 to 2023.

Results: 36% of the sampled cardiac electrophysiologists reported burnout, and 26% reported feelings of callousness.

Conclusion: This significant number of EPs experiencing symptoms of burnout underscores the critical need for enhanced focus on the EP workforce.

Severe, untreated tricuspid regurgitation is associated with worse clinical outcomes. While isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery has been linked to poor long-term outcomes, transcatheter TV therapies, including edge-to-edge repair and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), have emerged as effective alternatives and have been shown to improve outcomes, leading to their regulatory approval in the United States. Conduction system abnormalities are commonly seen among patients undergoing TTVR due to the close proximity of the atrioventricular node and the His bundle to the TV annulus.

Background: The prevalence of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in Tunisia is rising because of increased life expectancy and broader indications. This has led to a higher incidence of complications related to vascular access, device pockets, leads, and patient characteristics.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, types, and predictors of complications occurring within the first year after CIED implantation and to profile the demographic and epidemiologic characteristics of CIED recipients in Tunisia.

Background: Remote monitoring (RM) is the standard of care for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Data deluge from RM of CIEDs is one of the major challenges being faced by cardiac device clinics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to highlight the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reducing data deluge from CIEDs and to elucidate its performance in augmenting the traditional device clinic workforce.
