Persistent phrenic nerve palsy after atrial fibrillation ablation: Follow-up data from The Netherlands Heart Registration

, 2022
Background Persistent phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) is an established complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, especially during cryoballoon and thoracoscopic ablation.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Objectives: In this study, the serum level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was studied as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of a persistent form of atrial fibrillation. Methods: The study included 46 patients with a persistent

A case of non-invasive topical diagnostics with successful ablation during persistent atrial fibrillation

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2019
Treatment of persistent and long-persistent forms of atrial fibrillation remains a pressing issue. Using a personalized approach can help to more successfully eliminate arrhythmias and reduce the return probability.

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Left atrial wall stress distribution and its relationship to electrophysiologic remodeling in persistent atrial fibrillation

, 2012
Background—Atrial stretch causes remodeling that predisposes to atrial fibrillation. We tested the hypothesis that peaks in left atrial (LA) wall stress are associated with focal remodeling.\ud \ud Methods and Results—Nineteen patients underwent LA ...

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation ablation

, 2015
This chapter summarizes the ablation strategy approaches described in the literature for the treatment of long-standing persistent AF and more extensively the author's approach that we believe allows a better outcome at the long-term follow-up. Pulmonary

Effect of selective IK,ACh inhibition by XAF-1407 in an equine model of tachypacing-induced persistent atrial fibrillation

, 2020
Background and Purpose: Inhibition of the G-protein gated ACh-activated inward rectifier potassium current, IK,ACh may be an effective atrial selective treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF).
