Evaluating cardiac anatomy as a predictor for success after pulmonary vein isolation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Atrial Fibrillation is a condition characterized by the production of ectopic beats by the heart. One common treatment for Atrial Fibrillation is catheter guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), however this treatment is only effective in ...

Fibrillation in patients subjected to coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2003
ObjectiveAtrial fibrillation is the most frequently encountered postoperative arrhythmic complication after coronary artery bypass grafting. Ischemic preconditioning has proved a potent endogenous factor in suppressing ischemia-reperfusion–induced ...

Extinction Dynamics of Cardiac Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2018
During episodes of atrial fibrillation, the heart's electrical activity becomes disorganized and shows fragmenting spiral waves. To systematically address how this pattern terminates using spatially extended simulations exceeds current computational ...

Cryoablation or Drug Therapy for Initial Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation may be more effective in maintaining sinus rhythm. METHODS We randomly

The safety of direct transeptal puncture using a radiofrequency guidewire combined with a 17Fr pulsed field ablation sheath

Scientific Reports
Transseptal puncture (TSP) is widely used in catheter-based cardiac interventions to gain left atrial (LA) access, but its workflow has remained largely unchanged and is still a source of serious complications.

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with diabetes mellitus

Heart Rhythm O2, 2020
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Few studies have compared clinical outcomes after catheter ablation between patients with and those without DM.

Glycemic control is associated with atrial structural remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to be a strong risk factor for development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, how DM and glycemic control affect the pathogenesis of AF has not been sufficiently investigated ...

Genetic mutations in African patients with atrial fibrillation: Rationale and design of the Study of Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation in an African Population (SIGNAL) [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to understand genetic associations with atrial fibrillation in ethnically diverse populations. There are no such data from sub-Saharan Africa, despite the fact that atrial fibrillation is one of the fastest growing ...

Incidence, duration, pattern, and burden of de novo atrial arrhythmias detected by continuous ECG monitoring using an implantable loop recorder following ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus

Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal, 2020
Background: Following cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation, many patients with atrial flutter (AFL) are diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF). The incidence, duration, pattern, and burden of AF remain undefined.
