    Abstract Following the development of permanent transvenous cardiac pacing in the 1960s, the costs of pacemakers quickly led to their reuse in both developed countries and in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). Legal, ethical, and industrial factors gradually resulted in the termination of reuse in developed countries. Without health care budgets to pay for costly pacemaker technologies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and other groups have provided support to physicians and hospitals treating patients with heart block in LMICs. Multiple other academic and private groups have also assisted such patients in LMICs. Pacemaker companies have provided physicians and hospitals with new devices (that have an expired package date or through charitable donations). Greater care of preparing and cleaning refurbished devices have demonstrated overwhelmingly the safety and effectiveness of reused devices. More recently, cardiac resynchronization therapy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have also been reused in patients in LMICs. While the globalization of noncommunicable diseases continues, patients with rhythm disorders in LMICs can no longer be left behind. While patients in developed countries only receive new devices to treat rhythm disorders, the practice of reused cardiac implantable electronic devices will expand in LMICs, until equal access to device technologies be made available to all.

    Series title Fast facts
    Abstract Our understanding of the mechanisms and management of cardiac arrhythmias has improved dramatically in recent years thanks to continuing basic research coupled with technological advances. 'Fast Facts: Cardiac Arrhythmias' translates this improved understanding into straightforward guidance for managing patients presenting with signs of cardiac arrhythmia. The third edition of this highly readable handbook has been thoroughly updated to include recent pharmacological advances, such as the gradual replacement of warfarin anticoagulation with the novel direct oral anticoagulants. Also discussed are technological advances, including the use of smartphone and smartwatch systems to record heart rhythms, and the latest thinking on catheter and surgical ablation. New chapters have been added on the management of syncope and sudden cardiac death. These complement well-illustrated chapters describing normal conduction within the heart, the underlying mechanisms of arrhythmias and general investigation and management principles, as well as chapters discussing the definition, causes, diagnosis and management of specific arrhythmias. Other highlights include chapters on the rare, but increasingly recognized, inherited arrhythmias, as well as on the use of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Of interest to primary care practitioners, nurses, medical students, technicians and cardiologists in training, this practical review of the mechanisms of heart rhythm abnormality and the contemporary therapies available provides a useful resource for improving patient care. Contents: • Normal conduction and mechanisms of arrhythmias • Presentation • Syncope • Sudden cardiac death • Investigation • Management principles • Supraventricular arrhythmias • Atrial flutter and atypical atrial flutter • Atrial fibrillation • Ventricular arrhythmias • Rare and inherited arrhythmias • Cardiac devices: pacemakers and defibrillators
