Transcriptomic Remodeling of Pulmonary Vein Sleeves Suggests a Role in Atrial Arrhythmogenesis in Thoroughbred Horses

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Myocardial sleeves of the pulmonary veins in racehorses with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation exhibit upregulated pathways associated with tissue structure remodeling. Pathways related to the extracellular matrix and cellular components differ significantly from those in healthy horses.

Sex-related differences in risk factors, type of treatment received and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute stroke: Results from the RAF-study (Early Recurrence and Cerebral Bleeding in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation) [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor of thromboembolism. Women with atrial fibrillation are at a higher overall risk for stroke compared to men with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to evaluate for sex differences

Progression From Paroxysmal to Sustained Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated With Increased Adverse Events

Stroke, 2018
Background and Purpose— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmic disorder among the elderly and sometimes progresses from paroxysmal to sustained (persistent or permanent) types.

Initial UK Experience of Focal Pulsed Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) offers potential safety and efficacy advantages for catheter ablation. Delivering this energy source using pre‐existing contact force sensing catheters and mapping systems is attractive due to familiarity and accessibility.

Autonomic Profile Changes after Pulsed‐Field versus Thermal Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation is an established therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), with thermal ablation as a standard modality. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal alternative that selectively ablates myocardium while sparing collateral tissue. Its comparative autonomic impact relative to thermal ablation remains unclear.

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.

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 ...

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.
