Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Electrocardiographic R Wave Peak Time: Correlation With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease and Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electrocardiographic parameters have emerged as valuable noninvasive markers for risk stratification in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aims This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between R wave peak time (RWPT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity, and to assess its prognostic value for in‐hospital major adverse cardiac ...

Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is the most common method, and cryoballoon ablation is the second most

Bioprosthetic Valve Fracturing in Valve‐in‐Valve TAVI: Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcomes in Failing Perimount Aortic Bioprostheses—A Multicenter Registry

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data comparing clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of bioprosthetic valve fracturing (BVF) and “standard”‐postdilatation during valve‐in‐valve transcatheter heart valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) are lacking. The authors aimed to analyze hemodynamic and clinical outcomes of BVF compared to “standard”‐postdilatation during ViV‐TAVI ...

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the cardiovascular system through a lumped-parameter approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of people in the Western countries and, due to the widespread impact on the population and its medical relevance, is largely investigated in both clinical and bioengineering ...

An Euroheart‐Based Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry in Vietnam: Design, Rationale, and Preliminary Results

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background As a cardiac interventional procedure, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly becoming the most widely adopted across the globe. With increasing implementation in practice, the use of PCI registries to evaluate safety and effectiveness has grown internationally.
