Investigating the role of electroanatomical mapping in single‐shot pulsed field catheter ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Introduction Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a form of nonthermal energy that has been recently introduced for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). A multi‐electrode pentaspline catheter for delivery of PFA guided by fluoroscopy has become widely available for

Impact of a Multidisciplinary Treatment Pathway for Atrial Fibrillation in the Emergency Department on Hospital Admissions and Length of Stay: Results of a Multi‐Center Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Variability in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the emergency department (ED) leads to avoidable hospital admissions and prolonged length of stay (LOS).

Cardiac arrhythmias and pacing [PDF]

Srce i krvni sudovi, 2012
In the last two years, a number of land-mark clinical trials have been published which further our understanding and clinical management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Two of the major goals in the treatment of this condition include reducing pro-gression or recurrence of the arrhythmia and decrea-sing the risk of cardiovascular events ...

Emergency Department Visits for Atrial Fibrillation in the United States: Trends in Admission Rates and Economic Burden From 2007 to 2014

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly prevalent public health problem and one of the most common causes of emergency department (ED) visits. We aimed to investigate the trends in ED visits and hospital admissions for AF.

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: An Initial Experience

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S‐ICD) has been developed to avert risks associated with transvenous defibrillator leads. The technology is attractive for younger patients, such as those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Long-term Outcome of Pulmonary Vein Isolation Versus Amiodarone Therapy in Patients with Coexistent Persistent AF and Congestive Heart Failure

Cardiac Failure Review, 2020
Although pharmacological rhythm control of AF in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) does not seem to provide any benefit over rate control, catheter ablation of AF has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. These results

Pulsed Field Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Review

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a promising nonthermal ablation alternative for treating atrial fibrillation (AF). By delivering ultra-rapid high-energy electrical pulses, PFA induces irreversible electroporation, selectively targeting ...

Intracardiac Echocardiography-guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a suitable alternative to oral anticoagulant therapy to prevent stroke in patients with AF. Most procedures are performed under transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) guidance, which facilitates transseptal ...
