The Impact of Standard Ablation Strategies for Atrial Fibrillation on Cardiovascular Performance in a Four-chamber Heart Model [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent cardiac arrhythmias in the industrialized world and ablation therapy is the method of choice for many patients. However, ablation scars alter the electrophysiological activation and the mechanical behavior of the affected atria.

Atrial flutter: more than just one of a kind.
Since its first description about one century ago, our understanding of atrial flutter (AFL) circuits has considerably evolved. One AFL circuit can have variable electrocardiographic (ECG) manifestations depending on the presence of pre-existing atrial ...

Abstract Aims Despite receiving guideline‐directed medical heart failure (HF) therapy, patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH‐LHD) experience higher mortality and hospitalization rates than the general HF population.

Aims Socioeconomic disparities have been reported in the outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We assessed the hypothesis that AF patients with higher income or educational level are more frequently initiated with oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy for stroke prevention.

Atrial flutter ablation in a case of diuretic resistant constrictive pericarditis
We present a 66 year old gentleman with constrictive pericarditis and persistent atrial flutter. Initial management with oral loop diuretics was successful until he developed persistent atrial flutter.

Automatic Mode Switching in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Automatic mode switching (AMS) algorithms were designed to prevent tracking of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) or other rapidly occurring signals sensed by atrial channels, thereby reducing the adverse hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences of a rapid ...

Cryoablation or Drug Therapy for Initial Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
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

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is defined by heart failure (HF) with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of at least 50%. HFpEF has a complex and heterogeneous pathophysiology with multiple co‐morbidities contributing to its presentation. Establishing the diagnosis of HFpEF can be challenging.

Single dose nebulized verapamil inhalation showed improvement in V/Q mismatch throught increase FVC. Nebulized verapamil inhalation improved gas exchanged and increased spO2. Nebulized verapamil inhalation for out‐patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improved spirometric parameter.

Catheter ablation of typical right atrial flutter in a 20‐day‐old neonate with tachycardiomyopathy
Background Fetal echocardiography can diagnose neonatal atrial flutter, which can cause heart failure in newborns. Little is known about catheter ablation in this population.
