Comparative Efficacy of Continuous Versus Patch ECG Monitoring in Detecting Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Post Catheter Ablation: Insights From the REAL‐AF Registry

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Effective monitoring of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following catheter ablation is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. Various monitoring strategies exist, but effectiveness comparisons remain underexplored. Objective This study compares the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias detected by continuous versus patch ECG ...

Techniques for Identification of Left Ventricular Asynchrony for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure

open access: yes, 2005
The most recent treatment option of medically refractory heart failure includes cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by biventricular pacing in selected patients in NYHA functional class III or IV heart failure. The widely used marker to indicate left

Amiodarone‐related thyroid dysfunction and associated outcomes in patients with heart failure—A nationwide cohort study

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Amiodarone increases the risk of thyroid dysfunction, but the prognostic significance of this complication in patients with heart failure (HF) is uncertain. This study investigates the association between amiodarone‐related thyroid dysfunction and risk of HF hospitalization or death in a nationwide cohort.

Association Between Sleep Quality and Oxidative Stress in Postoperative Cardiovascular Patients—A Pilot Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
In 15 postoperative cardiac surgery patients, venous reactive oxygen species (ROS) measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) over 48 h showed no consistent circadian pattern. Higher ROS was associated with lower subjective sleep efficiency and more nocturnal awakenings, but not with other sleep measures.

Real‐World Treatment of Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation

open access: yes, 2011
Atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure are two major and even growing cardiovascular conditions that often coexist. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an important, device-based, non-pharmacological approach in a selected group of chronic heart
