Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in High‐Risk Patients: Real‐World Outcomes From a Multicenter Israeli Registry

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Transvenous pacemakers are effective but carry significant short‐ and long‐term complications. Leadless pacemakers were developed to overcome these limitations, however, data in high‐risk patients ineligible for transvenous systems remain limited.

Structural and functional characteristics of myocard in patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2015
Aim. To study structural and functional characteristics of myocard in patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia in clinical practice.

Cryoballoon Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone achieves modest arrhythmia freedom in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) offers a single‐shot alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that streamlines procedural workflow.

Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2012
Focal point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation has shown considerable success in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, it is not without limitations.

Rising Comorbidity Burden in Inpatient Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: Temporal Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Atrial late potentials: paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia versus paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

International Journal of Cardiology, 1993
The atrial signal averaged electrocardiogram has been used to detect patients at risk for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but not yet for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The P-wave-triggered signal-averaged electrocardiogram, during sinus rhythm, was obtained from 97 subjects divided in groups as follows: 30 controls (Group C), 38 patients with

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulation strategies/regimen used for managing thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage. Methods Thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage was detected via transesophageal echocardiography in 83 patients, most often during a stroke

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.

A new approach to an old disease: Ageing, arrhythmogenic substrate and the role of risk‐factor modification in atrial fibrillation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Anteroposterior Diameter of the Left Atrium Determines the Occurrence of Left Atrial Tachycardia in Non-paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients after Catheter Ablation

Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia
Objectives:             The relationship between left atrial (LA) size and atrial fibrillation (AF) is well-established. However, the specifics of LA regional remodeling and its connection to left atrial tachycardia (LA-AT) post-ablation in patients ...
