Despite an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death among dialysis patients, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have not been shown to improve mortality and are associated with high complication rates. Subcutaneous (S-)ICDs may reduce the risk of complications for eligible dialysis patients, but safety and benefits vs transvenous (TV-ICDs are unknown.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an accepted standard to exclude left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus before direct current cardioversion (DCCV) for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although TEE-guided DCCV is considered an efficacious means to expedite restoration of sinus rhythm, TEE requires sedation and carries a small procedural risk of esophageal trauma, bleeding, or perforation.1 In addition, some individuals have esophageal pathology for which TEE is contraindicated, or they may have a nondiagnostic TEE evaluation for exclusion of LAA thrombus secondary to variations in esophageal–cardiac orientation or acoustic artifacts.

Almost half of physicians report being uncomfortable with electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation, underscoring the need for high-quality ECG training. There are 2 major strategies for teaching ECG interpretation. Pattern recognition (PR) involves reading ECGs solely as graphic images, after being taught the underlying pathophysiology behind the ECG patterns. Inductive-deductive reasoning (IDR) requires logical thought mechanisms, using clinical context and algorithms, to reach a correct diagnosis.
