Late Extraction of Micra AV and Implantation of Right Atrial Leadless Pacemaker
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Tine‐based leadless pacemakers have been commercially implanted over the last 10 years. Retrieval of older devices is rarely discussed and based on rare case reports only. Methods A retrospective review of an extraction case of a Micra AV leadless pacemaker was performed. Internal Review Board approval was obtained.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) during hospitalization for heart failure (HFH) is uncertain, because hospitalized patients were routinely excluded from landmark CRT trials. Despite this, CRT implantation during HFH is common.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Contemporary, real‐world adherence to guideline‐directed transvenous cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) extraction for patients with CIED infections in the US remains incompletely characterized. As such, we sought to evaluate national trends in CIED extraction and identify factors associated with extraction and in ...

Advanced Conduction Disease After Incident Heart Failure in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.Central Figure. Advanced Conduction Disease After Incident HF in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. ABSTRACT Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with progressive cardiac conduction disease, heart failure (HF) and increased mortality. However, the association of incident HF with conduction disease and survival in DM1 is not well defined ...
