Hybrid Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Contemporary Overview

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PVI) is the cornerstone of invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, arrhythmia-free survival of a PVI only approach is suboptimal in patients with persistent and long-term persistent AF.

Durability of pulmonary vein isolation following cryoballoon ablation: Lessons from a large series of repeat ablation procedures

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Introduction: The second-generation cryoballoon (CB) has emerged in the last decade as an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). This study sought to analyze the rate of PV reconnection following CB ablation, evaluate the most frequent PV ...

Temporary cardiac pacing [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1999
Temporary cardiac pacing can be a life-saving manoeuvre. The indications and techniques are well established.1 The procedure is one of the ‘essential’ components of the training programme in general internal medicine. This may be desirable, but is it wise nowadays? Is it achievable? The traditional indication for a temporary cardiac pacemaker is heart

Life‐Threatening Bradycardia in Anti‐NMDA‐Receptor Encephalitis and a Novel Use for Permanent Pacing

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (pNMDARE) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder that can cause severe autonomic dysfunction, including symptomatic bradycardia and asystole. Dysautonomia can last for years, making it very challenging to manage.

Transoesophageal cardiac pacing [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1982
Summary An elderly patient, whilst undergoing anaesthesia for a total hip replacement, developed a marked bradydysrhythmia suggestive of sick sinus syndrome. The heart rate was unaffected by atropine 1.2 mg administered intravenously. Cardiac pacing was achieved by means of a non‐invasive transoesophageal pacemaking catheter.

The temporal trends and short‐ and long‐term mortality of people with acute myocardial infarction and rheumatoid arthritis: a nationwide cohort study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Aims We investigated whether a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects the quality of inpatient acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care and long‐term mortality post‐AMI. Methods We analysed data from 784,091 adults, 6,047 with a diagnosis of RA, from England and Wales hospitalised with AMI between 2005 and 2019 from the MINAP registry, linked ...
