Propafenone efficacy in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2004
Efficacy and safety of class IС antiarrhythmic agent, propafenone, was investigated in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), after single-dose load and during long-term preventive treatment.

Acute Efficacy of Pulsed‐Field Ablation of the Mitral Isthmus Using a Pentaspline Catheter and Two Different Ablation Settings

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is limited data regarding the use of pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) for mitral isthmus (MI) ablation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim was to assess the acute efficacy of MI ablation using a pentaspline PFA catheter with two different ablation settings.

Very High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Premature Ventricular Complexes From Sites With Suboptimal Catheter Stability

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction While very high‐power short‐duration (vHPSD) ablation has been shown to be safe and effective for ablation of atrial fibrillation, the utility of vHPSD ablation for targeting premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) remains unclear.

Fall-related injuries in a nursing home setting: is polypharmacy a risk factor?

BMC Health Services Research, 2009
Background Polypharmacy is regarded as an important risk factor for fallingand several studies and meta-analyses have shown an increased fall risk in users of diuretics, type 1a antiarrhythmics, digoxin and psychotropic agents.

Impact of Pulsed Field Ablation Dosing on Outcome After Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a Pentaspline Ablation Catheter: A Prospective Comparison of 8 Versus 16 Applications

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non‐thermal ablation modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). For the pentaspline catheter, eight applications per pulmonary vein (PV) are considered standard, with four in basket configuration and four in flower configuration.

Andersen-Tawil Syndrome [PDF]

, 2006
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare condition consisting of ventricular arrhythmias, periodic paralysis, and dysmorphic features. In 2001, mutations in KCNJ2, which encodes the α subunit of the potassium channel Kir2.1, were identified in patients ...

Predictors of Atrial High‐Rate Episodes and Inappropriate Device Therapy in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy can prevent sudden cardiac death, but poses a risk of inappropriate device therapy (IDT), which is linked to worse outcomes and reduced quality of life. On the other hand, ICDs can function as an early warning system for atrial arrhythmias.

Autonomic Profile Changes after Pulsed‐Field versus Thermal Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation is an established therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), with thermal ablation as a standard modality. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal alternative that selectively ablates myocardium while sparing collateral tissue. Its comparative autonomic impact relative to thermal ablation remains unclear.
