Abstract

The subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy had a major impact on cardiac care.A survey to evaluate the dynamic changes in arrhythmia care during the first five waves of COVID-19 in Italy (first: March-May 2020; second: October 2020-January 2021; third: February-May 2021; fourth: June-October 2021; fifth: November 2021-February 2022) was launched.A total of 127 physicians from arrhythmia centers (34% of Italian centers) took part in the survey. As compared to 2019, a reduction in 40% of elective pacemaker (PM), defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization devices (CRT) implantations, with a 70% reduction for ablations, was reported during the first wave, with a progressive and gradual return to pre-pandemic volumes, generally during the third-fourth waves, slower for ablations. For emergency procedures (PM, ICD, CRT, and ablations), recovery from the initial 10% decline occurred in most cases during the second wave, with some variability. However, acute care for atrial fibrillation, electrical cardioversions, and evaluations for syncope showed a prolonged reduction of activity. The number of patients with devices which started remote monitoring increased by 40% during the first wave, but then the adoption of remote monitoring declined.The dramatic and profound derangement in arrhythmia management that characterized the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was followed by a progressive return to the volume of activities of the pre-pandemic periods, even if with different temporal dynamics and some heterogeneity. Remote monitoring was largely implemented during the first wave, but full implementation is needed.

Abstract

COVID-19 outbreak had a major impact on the organization of care in Italy, and a survey to evaluate provision of for arrhythmia during COVID-19 outbreak (March–April 2020) was launched. A total of 104 physicians from 84 Italian arrhythmia centres took part in the survey. The vast majority of participating centres (95.2%) reported a significant reduction in the number of elective pacemaker implantations during the outbreak period compared to the corresponding two months of year 2019 (50.0% of centres reported a reduction of > 50%). Similarly, 92.9% of participating centres reported a significant reduction in the number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantations for primary prevention, and 72.6% a significant reduction of ICD implantations for secondary prevention (> 50% in 65.5 and 44.0% of the centres, respectively). The majority of participating centres (77.4%) reported a significant reduction in the number of elective ablations (> 50% in 65.5% of the centres). Also the interventional procedures performed in an emergency setting, as well as acute management of atrial fibrillation had a marked reduction, thus leading to the conclusion that the impact of COVID-19 was disrupting the entire organization of health care, with a massive impact on the activities and procedures related to arrhythmia management in Italy.

Abstract

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare primary cardiomyopathy with genetic etiology, resulting from an abnormality of myocardial development during embryogenesis. It carries an elevated risk of left ventricular dysfunction, thromboembolic events and malignant arrhythmias. We report the case of LVNC associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and ankyrin 2 ( ANK2 ) mutation at the genetic test. An 18-year-old competitive athlete visited our medical center to undergo the diagnostic investigations protocol preparatory to the release of the suitability for competitive practice. The echocardiographic examination shows LVNC without ventricular remodeling (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 53%, global longitudinal strain (GLS) -18.3%). The echocardiographic diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), which revealed dense hypertrabeculation in the left ventricular apex and lateral wall. The cardiogenetic investigation showed a c.9145C>T variant (p.Arg3049Trp) identified in the ANK2 gene. This mutation is associated in the literature with rare cases of LVNC. The patient underwent an extended Holter monitoring which excluded ventricular arrhythmic events but showed two brief episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Despite the absence of significant ventricular remodeling, considering the presence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and the presence of a mutation in the ANK2 gene, which has several variants related to high-risk phenotypes, it has been decided to suspend the competitive practice, and is defined an adequate clinical-diagnostic follow-up., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest relevant to this article., (Copyright 2025, De Masi De Luca et al.)
