For almost 35 years, the Swiss Working Group for Interventional Cardiology of the Swiss Society of Cardiology has evaluated and assessed the invasive diagnostic and therapeutic heart interventions performed annually in Switzerland. The aim of this survey, which was completed by 36 centres using a standardised questionnaire, was to report the data for the year 2020. Overall, 53,088 coronary angiographies with 48.8% subsequent percutaneous coronary interventions, i.e., 8.6% less than in 2019, were performed. Regarding structural interventions, there were 1790 transcatheter aortic valve implantations, with a decrease of 6.4% compared with 2019. This decrease was most likely due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its consequences on the Swiss healthcare system. Full article

Schulungsprogramme für Patientinnen und Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz sind in der Schweiz nicht reglementiert und unterliegen den starken Einflüssen von zur Verfügung stehenden finanziellen Ressourcen, vorhandenem Personal und den involvierten Stakeholdern. Am Universitätsspital Basel wird seit über 20 Jahren ein Schulungsprogramm angeboten. In diesem A rtikel werden die Herausforderungen und Veränderungen beschrieben, welche zur heutigen Form geführt haben. Die Analyse der Entwicklung wird anhand des Reflexionsmodells von Rolfe durchgeführt. Für die Auswertung werden die elektronischen Schulungsprotokolle und die Patientenbefragung beigezogen. Insgesamt zeigen sich eine hohe Patientenzufriedenheit und eine steigende Zahl von Schulungssequenzen. Eine Verbesserung des Informationsflusses bezüglich der Schulungsinhalte an das ambulante Betreuungsnetz sollte angegangen werden. Full article

We present the first case of implantation of a novel singlechamber leadless pacemaker capable of atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing in a patient with COVID-19 and complete AV block. This device not only promotes AV synchrony, but also eliminates risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax and pocket complications, such as haematoma and infection and may therefore be considered a valuable alternative to a dual-chamber pacemaker.
