Long-term survival in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy: the importance of performing atrio-ventricular junction ablation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Aims To investigate the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on survival in heart failure (HF) patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and the role of atrio-ventricular junction (AVJ) ablation in these patients. Methods and results

Among 2061 hospitalized HFmrEF patients, low albumin, albumin‐to‐creatinine ratios (ACR), and elevated urea‐to‐albumin ratios (UAR) independently predicted long‐term all‐cause mortality, but not HF‐related rehospitalization. The UAR and ACR did not provide a clinically significant predictive advantage over albumin levels alone. Abstract Background This

Outcomes of Focused Double Extrastimuli Mapping and Ablation in Ventricular Tachycardia
ABSTRACT Background Conventional substrate mapping for scar‐related ventricular tachycardia (VT) often fails to fully delineate critical arrhythmogenic components. Functional mapping strategies using extrastimuli have shown promise but are limited by procedural complexity.

Background Physiologic pacing is increasingly used as an alternative when there is a failure in cardiac resynchronization therapy, with more challenging situations expected consequently.

In heart failure, renin‐angiotensin system inhibitor (RASI) use was associated with less skeletal muscle wasting in patients with diabetes, but not in those without diabetes (significant interaction). The association in diabetes was more evident at lower plasma 3‐methylhistidine levels than at higher levels, suggesting a potential biomarker‐defined ...
