Modified Anatomical Ablation Strategy for Mitral Isthmus
ABSTRACT Background Durable mitral isthmus (MI) block remains challenging in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EI‐VOM) enhances efficacy, but the minimal endocardial ablation extent post‐EI‐VOM is undefined.

This graphical abstract presents a comprehensive analysis of probe stability and oscillation during very high‐power short‐duration (vHPSD) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation. The findings indicate that oscillation velocity serves as a more reliable predictor of impedance drop and temperature changes than contact force alone ...

Abstract Background Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) therapy relies on reliable right ventricular leads for pacing, sensing, and defibrillation. The INVICTA DF4 lead is an active‐fixation, quadripolar design intended to optimize implant workflow and long‐term safety and performance. Methods APOLLO was a prospective, multicenter, single‐arm,

FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.
