#EHRAtopicweek on SCD prevention in HF 💥 SCD still claims far too many lives in HF — despite major therapeutic advances 🔍 Landmark trials like MADIT, SCD-HeFT, and PARADIGM-HF confirm that the SCD burden remains high, especially in HFrEF, but it's not exclusive to reduced EF 📊 A post-hoc propensity score–matched analysis of TOPCAT Americas showed that AF may be an independent risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in HFpEF 🔗bit.ly/4kl3nOR @escardio @EuropaceEiC

#EHRAtopicweek 💡Transvalvular CIED leads & tricuspid regurgitation – what’s behind it? 🧵Mechanisms include: 1️⃣ Valve perforation or entanglement 2️⃣ Leaflet impingement 3️⃣ RV pacing-induced dysfunction 4️⃣ Lead-related adhesions or post-extraction injury 🔍 Imaging & pacing strategy matter 👉 Find out more here: 🔗bit.ly/3RKtySB #EHRA_ESC @escardio

#EHRAtopicweek 🚨 Planning #TTVI? Consider the lead Transvenous lead extraction can reduce device-valve interference—but at a cost: 🔸 TR risk ↑ (up to 15%) 🔸 Dwell time >10y = ↑ complications 🔸 Careful imaging & team discussion = 🔑 🔧 #TLE is safer than ever—but not risk-free: 🩸 1.7% major comp | 0.5% mortality 🎯 Dwell time >10y, multiple leads = high risk 💡 Still, TLE may be key to successful #TTVI Plan early. Choose wisely. 🔗bit.ly/3RKtySB

#EHRAtopicweek With more patients living longer with CIEDs, transcatheter tricuspid interventions bring new risks. 🔍 Lead jailing can result in: 1⃣Lead failure 2⃣Device-related infections 3⃣Extraction challenges 4⃣Unknown long-term outcomes 📉 In some series, up to 1 in 3 leads may be jailed 🧠 Careful device assessment is essential—especially in pacemaker-dependent patients or those with prior infections 👉 Explore the latest data on lead-device-valve interactions and the need for multidisciplinary planning before TTVI 🔗bit.ly/3RKtySB
