Food Insecurity Among Medicare Beneficiaries in 2017–2022: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Food insecurity affects many older adults and is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes. However, most prior research has relied on cross‐sectional data, and evidence on predictors of subsequent food insecurity among Medicare beneficiaries remains limited. Methods We conducted a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of

Antiarrhythmic drug therapy and catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Catheter ablation and antiarrhythmic drug therapy are utilized for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF), but their comparative effectiveness, especially with contemporary treatment modalities, remains undefined. We conducted a systematic

Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Pre‐anaesthetic risk assessment and management of dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease: a spectrum of care narrative review

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Myxomatous mitral valve disease, an acquired valvular degeneration, is the most common cardiac disorder in dogs, affecting approximately 10% of dogs in primary care veterinary practice. Dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease frequently require anaesthesia for routine procedures.

The Effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Supraventricular and Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Heart Failure

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology
Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) frequently experience electrical disturbances, such as ventricular or atrial fibrillation (AF).

Present and future of antiarrhythmic therapy for atrial fibrillation: A review

Consilium Medicum
Despite the emergence and active development of interventional methods for the treatment of arrhythmias, to date, the use of antiarrhythmic drugs to recover and maintain sinus rhythm is the most significant and in demand in patients with paroxysmal and ...

Modified Anatomical Ablation Strategy for Mitral Isthmus

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Durable mitral isthmus (MI) block remains challenging in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EI‐VOM) enhances efficacy, but the minimal endocardial ablation extent post‐EI‐VOM is undefined.

Electrical storm after cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy: Signal‐averaged vector‐projected 187‐channel electrocardiogram‐based risk stratification for lethal arrhythmia

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2013
We describe treatment of atrial flutter and electrical storm presenting as incessant ventricular tachycardia (VT) after implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT‐D) in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome: A Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,

Incidence and Determinants of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy With Loss of and Impaired Consciousness

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are important in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, some appropriate ICD therapies may be considered unnecessary, delivered when patients do not experience symptoms of hemodynamic instability such as loss of consciousness.
