Night‐To‐Night Variability in Sleep Apnea Is Associated With Persistence and Burden of Device‐Detected Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Device detected atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. CV = coefficient of variation; RDI = Respiratory disturbance index. ABSTRACT Using pacemaker‐derived thoracic impedance monitoring, sleep apnea severity and its night‐to‐night variability can be continuously tracked in patients with implanted cardiac devices.

Modified Anatomical Ablation Strategy for Mitral Isthmus

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
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.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with the Watchman device: a systematic review

Advances in Interventional Cardiology
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed arrhythmia in the world and its prevalence increases with age. The main and most severe complication of AF is ischemic stroke.

Real‐World Treatment of Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation

Left Internal Mammary Artery Injury After Pacemaker Lead Implant—Case Report and Review of Literature

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We hereby report a case of a 75‐year‐old patient who developed a large left‐sided hemopneumothorax after a routine dual‐chamber pacemaker insertion. The rare complication was caused by the pacing lead injuring the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) after perforating the right ventricle.

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Left atrial appendage closure in a patient previously implanted with an interatrial shunt device: a case report

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Patients with previous interatrial shunt device (IASD) implantation may face greater challenges during future left atrial interventional procedures. Herein, we report the first case of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in a patient with previous IASD ...

Prognostic impact of increase in left atrial volume following left atrial appendage closure: Insights from the OCEAN-LAAC registry

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an effective therapy to prevent thromboembolic events among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Digital N‐of‐1 trials and their application in experimental physiology

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditionally, studies in experimental physiology have been conducted in small groups of human participants, animal models or cell lines. Identifying optimal study designs that achieve sufficient power for drawing proper statistical inferences to detect group level effects with small sample sizes has been challenging. Moreover, average effects
