Device detected atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. CV = coefficient of variation; RDI = Respiratory disturbance index. ABSTRACT Using pacemaker‐derived thoracic impedance monitoring, sleep apnea severity and its night‐to‐night variability can be continuously tracked in patients with implanted cardiac devices.

Modified Anatomical Ablation Strategy for Mitral Isthmus
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.

ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

Early Mobilization After Pacemaker Implantation
ABSTRACT Background The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is leading to a rise in procedure‐related complications. Objective This trial aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of early mobilization and the possibility of same‐day discharge following permanent pacemaker implantation.

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula
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
