Prognostic Significance and Factors Associated With Worsening LV Dilatation in Heart Failure
Among patients with a hospitalization or ED visit for HF and at least two echocardiograms at least 6 months apart, failure to decrease LVESD by at least 3.13% or an increase in LVEDD of 1.33% were associated with the composite of all‐cause death, HF hospitalization, and ED visits for HF. Figure created using Canva and Servier Medical Art. ED, emergency

Abstract Background Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Telephone‐assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (TCPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) improve survival, but traditional emergency systems face delays due to traffic and geography.

Device‐detected atrial high‐rate episodes (AHREs) lasting ≥ 6 min identify a transient period of increased clinical risk in ICD patients. During the 60‐day peri‐AHRE period, risks of appropriate ICD shock, any appropriate ICD therapy, and cardiac hospitalization were significantly increased.

Electrogram Transition Patterns During Atrial Antitachycardia Pacing‐Mediated Termination
Among 1,641 aATP‐terminated episodes in 38 patients, six electrogram transition patterns were identified. Irregular post‐aATP activity was the most common pattern preceding termination, regardless of pre‐aATP regularity (47% in regular and 63% in irregular pre‐aATP episodes). Episodes with irregular pre‐aATP activity took longer to terminate (median 13

Clinical Advantages and Pitfalls of Pulsed Field Ablation: How to Prevent ALH Syndrome
Pulsed‐field (PF) Ablation Index (combined with average contact force and number of PF pulses) accurately predicted lesion depth in the prospective validation study. Importantly, no lesion formation was observed in the absence of electrode–tissue contact when the ablation electrode was positioned only 1–2 mm away from the endocardium. ABSTRACT Catheter
