Management of Arrhythmias After Heart Transplant Current State and Considerations for Future Research

Jose A. Joglar et al.

Summary: Orthotropic heart transplantation is the most effective therapy for end-stage heart failure patients, with a median survival of around 13 years. However, complications such as arrhythmias are common post-transplantation, with factors like autonomic denervation and rejection contributing to their occurrence. The use of the bicaval technique and minimizing ischemic time are current surgical standards to reduce the risk of future arrhythmias.

Factors Predisposing to Survival After Resuscitation for Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Santo Ricceri et al.

Summary: In this 4-year countywide study of OHCAs, only one-third were sudden, of which one-half were resuscitated to hospitalization and 1 in 5 survived to discharge. Arrhythmic cause predicted survival and nearly one-half of nonsurvivors had nonarrhythmic causes, suggesting that SCA survivors are not equivalent to SCDs. Early identification of nonarrhythmic SCAs, such as neurologic emergencies, may be a target to improve OHCA survival.
