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.

WATCHMAN versus LACbes® device for percutaneous left atrial appendage closure: a single-center, propensity-matched study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Different left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) devices have been introduced into the clinical setting. A new dual-seal mechanism LACbes® occluder with isogenous barbs for LAAC has been designed to facilitate easier delivery and improve safety.

Pacing Ratio Changes of an Implanted Permanent Pacemaker After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In some patients, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with conduction disturbances, necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation (PMI). The clinical course of conduction disturbances after PMI, based on the type of TAVI valve, remains unclear.

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.

Electrophysiological efficacy of temperature-controlled bipolar radiofrequency† [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE Clinical success of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation depends on persistent block of electrical conduction across the ablation lines. The fate of ablations performed with temperature-controlled bipolar radiofrequency (RF) is unknown.

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
