Cardiac tamponade in hypothyroidism [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2014
Pericardial effusion in overt hypothyroidism is common (incidence 3–6%), but cardiac tamponade and pretamponade as a presentation in newly diagnosed hypothyroidism is rare. For patients diagnosed with cardiac tamponade without sinus tachycardia, hypothyroidism should be suspected.1 Evaluation of hypothyroidism is often overlooked during the initial ...

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

Cardiac Tamponade as the Initial Presentation of Coexistent Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Addison’s Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports
Cardiac tamponade is a rare presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), occurring in less than 1% of cases. Its coexistence with primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) represents an even rarer clinical scenario.

Prospective Trial of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of High Dominant Frequencies After Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Non‐Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAD‐AF Trial): A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In persistent AF, adjunctive dominant frequency‐guided ablation after pulmonary vein isolation did not significantly improve outcomes. Limited overlap between high‐frequency sites and low‐voltage areas suggests functional–structural dissociation, while right atrial low‐voltage burden predicts recurrence.

Mechanical Circulatory Support During Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catheter ablation is an established therapy for ventricular tachycardia (VT); however, hemodynamic instability frequently limits procedural mapping and success. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices are increasingly used to maintain end‐organ perfusion during VT ablation, yet their impact on clinical outcomes remains ...

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.

Cardiac tamponade: an uncommon presenting feature of systemic lupus erythematosus, a case-based review

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2020
Although pericarditis is the most prevalent cardiac involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac tamponade is extremely infrequent notably as the first manifestation of the disease.

Implementation of a Standardized Nurse‐Guided Heparinization Protocol Improves Anticoagulation During Left Atrial Ablation Procedures

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
A standardized, nurse‐led heparinization protocol significantly improves the speed, consistency, and precision of achieving therapeutic ACT levels during left atrial ablation, while reducing excessive anticoagulation and maintaining a comparable safety profile to conventional operator‐guided dosing.

Cardiac Tamponade in Taiwan

Japanese Circulation Journal, 1997
We retrospectively reviewed all of the patients who were treated for cardiac tamponade at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between January 1991 and December 1995. There were a total of 112 patients (57 males, 55 females) with a mean age of 51 +/- 14 years (53 +/- 15, 49 +/- 13, respectively). Dyspnea was the most common complaint (85%).
