Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies
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

Comparison of Two Different Pulsed Field Ablation Systems: The Dual Pulse System Study
ABSTRACT Background Recently, multiple pulsed field ablation (PFA)‐system were introduced for catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data comparing procedural performance, the extent of low‐voltage areas (LVA), and myocardial injury between different PFA‐systems in a real‐world setting remain scarce.

Acute Primary Pneumococcal Purulent Pericarditis With Cardiac Tamponade
Bacterial pericarditis is a rapidly progressive and highly fatal infection, and is often diagnosed postmortem in half of the cases. Even with drainage and antibiotics, the mortality rate is high. Gram-positive cocci, specifically Streptococcus penumoniae,

Impact of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Patients With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
ABSTRACT Introduction Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) reduces the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long‐term oral anticoagulation. However, outcomes after LAAC in patients requiring chronic immunosuppressive therapy (IMS) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate

ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF), yet outcomes remain suboptimal in persistent AF patients. Ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshal (VoM), an embryological remnant implicated in AF pathogenesis, may enhance ablation efficacy.

Cardiac Tamponade as Initial Presentation of Hodgkin Lymphoma
Cardiac involvement in malignant lymphoma is one of the least investigated subjects. Pericardial effusion is rarely symptomatic in patients of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Few case reports are available in the literature. There are case reports of diagnosed HL
