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,

Interplay of Probe Stability and Oscillation During Very‐High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation in Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leadless pacemakers are typically implanted in the mid‐septum of the right ventricle (RV) to mitigate the risk of perforation. However, reports on the precise location of these implants are limited. This study aimed to elucidate tine‐based leadless pacemaker position and presence of subclinical RV perforation through computed ...

NT‐proBNP as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon, Radiofrequency and Pulsed‐Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

PFA Under Deep Sedation and Non‐Invasive Monitoring in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Clinical data about pulsed field ablation (PFA) under deep sedation among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are limited, while the optimal periprocedural monitoring is not established. We report our experience in PFA among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and OSA, using a continuous non‐invasive respiratory and ...

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Advancing tele‐physiology: A chest patch solution for continuous, non‐invasive remote monitoring in a hypoxic environment

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin‐mounted sensors are thin, flexible and lightweight electronic devices that enable monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. The aim of this study was to provide pilot evidence for possible utilization of a sensorized patch for capturing the bodily response to hypoxia. The subsequent phases of the study comprised a case report and a
