Methods and results Patients with clinical ICD indication are eligible for the trial. Upon inclusion, patients will undergo non-invasive risk stratification, including beat-to-beat variability of repolarization (BVR), T-wave alternans, T-wave morphology variables, ambient arrhythmias from Holter, heart rate variability, and heart rate turbulence. Non-invasive or invasive programmed electrical stimulation will assess inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias, with the latter including recordings of monophasic action potentials and assessment of restitution properties. Established candidate genes are screened for variants. The primary endpoint is all-cause mortality, while one of the secondary endpoints is ICD shock risk. A mean follow-up of 3.3 years is anticipated. Non-invasive testing will be repeated annually during follow-up. It has been calculated that 700 patients are required to identify risk predictors of the primary endpoint, with a possible increase to 1000 patients based on interim risk analysis. Conclusion The EUTrigTreat clinical study aims to overcome current shortcomings in sudden cardiac death risk stratification and to answer several related research questions. The initial patient recruitment is expected to be completed in July 2012, and follow-up is expected to end in September 2014.

Background In typical AFL, the PPI from entrainment at the CTI is expected to closely match the tachycardia cycle-length (TCL). Methods Sixty patients with confirmed CTI-dependent AFL were retrospectively analyzed and grouped into short (<= 30 ms) or long (>30 ms) PPI-TCL. Thereafter, we prospectively studied 16 patients to acquire the PPI-TCL at 4 CTI sites with entrainment at pacing cycle-lengths (PCLs) 10 to 40 ms shorter than the TCL. Conduction times during AFL and entrainment were compared in 5 segments of the AFL circuit. Results Eleven patients (18%) in the retrospective analysis had a long PPI-TCL after entrainment from the CTI. Subjects with long PPI-TCL had similar baseline characteristics but greater beat-to-beat TCL variability. In the prospective cohort, PPI-TCL was influenced by the difference between PCL and TCL and site of entrainment. Conduction delays associated with a long PPI-TCL were located predominantly in the segment activated first by the paced orthodromic wave front, and were mainly due to local pacing latency, as confirmed by the use of monophasic action potential catheters. Conclusions A long PPI upon entrainment of typical AFL from the CTI is common and due to delayed conduction with entrainment. Whether these findings apply to other macro-re-entrant tachycardias warrants further investigation.

We aimed to evaluate the effect of CRT alone and CRT + AOP on CSA in CHF patients and to compare the influence of CRT on CHF between CSA positive and CSA negative patients. Methods and results Thirty patients with CRT indication underwent full night polysomnography, echocardiography, exercise testing, and neurohumoral evaluation before and 3 months after CRT implantation. In CSA positive patients (60%), two additional steep studies were conducted after 3 months of CRT, with CRT alone or CRT + ACIP, in random order. Cardiac resynchronization therapy resulted in significant improvements of NYHA class, left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, VO(2)max, and quality of life irrespective of the presence of CSA. Cardiac resynchronization therapy also reduced the central apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) (33.6 +/- 14.3 vs. 23.8 +/- 16.9 h(-1); P < 0.01) and central apnoea index (17.3 +/- 14.1 vs. 10.9 +/- 13.9 h(-1); P < 0.01) without altering steep stages.
