Efficacy and Safety of Dronedar one in Overweight and Obesity: Post Hoc Analysis of the ATHENA Trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Obesity represents a prevalent condition with multiple comorbidities, including atrial fibrillation (AF). Dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic drug (AAD), has demonstrated efficacy in patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Non-invasive estimation of left atrial dominant frequency in atrial fibrillation from different electrode sites: Insight from body surface potential mapping [PDF]

, 2014
© 2014, CardioFront LLC. All rights reserved. The dominant driving sources of atrial fibrillation are often found in the left atrium, but the expression of left atrial activation on the body surface is poorly understood.

Myocardial and Neural Damage due to Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Pulsed Electric Field and Thermal Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using thermal energy—radiofrequency (RF) or cryoablation (CRYO)—is associated with direct myocardial injury and collateral neural damage. In contrast, pulsed electric field (PEF) energy has emerged as a neural‐sparing alternative.

Screening versus routine practice in detection of atrial fibrillation in patients aged 65 or over: Screening versus routine practice in detection cluster randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2007
Objectives : To assess whether screening improves the detection of atrial fibrillation (cluster randomisation) and to compare systematic and opportunistic screening.

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity: Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with obesity undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been mixed. Clinical data in the context of pulsed field ablation (PFA) are currently limited in this patient cohort.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome: A Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,

Short- and long-term experience in pulmonary vein segmental ostial ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation* [PDF]

Introduction: Segmental ostial pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is considered a potentially curative therapeutic approach in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Logistic regression analysis of populations of electrophysiological models to assess proarrythmic risk. [PDF]

, 2016
Population-based computational approaches have been developed in recent years and helped to gain insight into arrhythmia mechanisms, and intra- and inter-patient variability (e.g., in drug responses). Here, we illustrate the use of multivariable logistic

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke

Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2011
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is perhaps the most underdiagnosed mechanism of apparent cryptogenic stroke (CS). Various studies have shown that increasing the duration of monitoring can increase the diagnosis of PAF in CS.We compared demographic and risk factors for ischemic stroke across different TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Atrioventricular Node Ablation in a Real‐World Population

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While interventional strategies have expanded the options for long term rhythm restoration, rate control continues to play a pivotal role in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias; however, pharmacologic strategies alone often fail in achieving effective rate control.
