Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Devices for Prevention of Atrial Tachyarrhythmias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and, although its importance has been underestimated even in recent years, we are now becoming aware of its clinical transcendence1,2,3.

Haemodynamic consequences of targeted single- and dual-site right ventricular pacing in adults with congenital heart disease undergoing surgical pulmonary valve replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aims The purpose of this study was to create an epicardial electroanatomic map of the right ventricle (RV) and then apply post-operative-targeted single- and dual-site RV temporary pacing with measurement of haemodynamic parameters.

Left Ventricular Pacing In Patients With Congestive Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) using biventricular (BIV) pacing has proved its effectiveness to correct myocardial asynchrony and improve clinical status of patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) and widened QRS. Despite a different

Tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardíaca avanzada mediante estimulación biventricular. Experiencia inicial en una serie de 22 casos consecutivos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Recent data suggest that biventricular pacing may play an important role in treating advanced heart failure in the presence of a significant interventricular and/or intraventricular conduction disorder by correcting cardiac ...

Low energy defibrillation in human cardiac tissue: a simulation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We aim to assess the effectiveness of feedback controlled resonant drift pacing as a method for low energy defibrillation. Antitachycardia pacing is the only low energy defibrillation approach to have gained clinical significance, but it is still suboptimal.

Temporary cardiac pacing [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate 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

Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation: Effects on neuromodulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the mainstay of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, and PVI with cryoballoon catheter (CB) ablation (CB-A) has proven to be as effective and safe as radiofrequency ablation (RF-A).

Control of cardiac alternans in a mapping model with memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We investigate a map-based model of paced cardiac muscle in the presence of closed-loop feedback control. The model relates the duration of an action potential to the preceding diastolic interval as well as the preceding action potential duration and thus has some amount of `memory.' We find that the domain of control depends on this memory ...

Post-TAVR patients with atrial fibrillation: are NOACs better than VKAs?—A meta-analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the efficacy of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) with traditional anticoagulants vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) post transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR ...
