Light Chain Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance: Diagnosis, Biology, and Clinical Management

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light chain monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (LC‐MGUS) is defined by an abnormal serum free light chain ratio and elevated involved light chain in the absence of a detectable immunoglobulin heavy chain on immunofixation and of end‐organ damage attributable to a plasma cell disorder.

Barriers and Enablers to Clinician Behaviour‐Change in the Emergency Department: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The emergency department is a challenging environment in which to implement and sustain change, due to unpredictable workloads, the undifferentiated nature of patient presentations and high staff turnover. Synthesising factors that impact practice change in the emergency department is needed to support evidence‐based practice ...

Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Clinical Utility of Tissue Proximity Indication With a Variable‐Loop Circular Catheter for Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The variable‐loop circular catheter (VLCC, VARIPULSE) is a pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) catheter equipped with a Tissue Proximity Indication (TPI) function, which monitors catheter‐tissue contact. Although TPI‐negative sites have been reported to contribute to gap formation, no studies have evaluated the utility of real‐time function.

Safety and Utility of Smartphone‐Based Heart Monitors in Pediatric Patients With Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Smartphone heart monitors in pediatric CIEDs: A pilot study. Smartphone heart monitors did not induce EMI in children with CIEDs, enabling reliable heart rate measurement and accurate identification of ventricular non‐captures. ABSTRACT Background Portable heart monitors enable on‐demand electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and enhance symptom‐rhythm ...

Time‐Dependent Diagnostic Yield and Therapeutic Impact of Implantable Loop Recorders, Brugada Syndrome as the Exception

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Diagnostic yield and therapeutic impact varied substantially according to the indication for implantation. Actionable diagnoses were concentrated in the early follow‐up period for syncope and palpitations, whereas late atrial fibrillation detection after cryptogenic stroke could still modify antithrombotic management. In contrast, patients with Brugada

Clinical Outcomes After Catheter Ablation in Patients With Structural Heart Disease and Ventricular Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), recurrent VF may be treated with catheter ablation by targeting triggering premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and/or ventricular scar homogenization. Data on optimal ablation strategies in patients with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) remain limited.
