Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.Abstract Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Preprocedural imaging can improve the success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify infarct regions. We sought to determine whether an association exists between left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) as obtained ...

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Clinical data about pulsed field ablation (PFA) under deep sedation among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are limited, while the optimal periprocedural monitoring is not established. We report our experience in PFA among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and OSA, using a continuous non‐invasive respiratory and ...

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...
