Sequential Hybrid Procedure for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association, 2015
Background Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation yields an unsatisfactorily high number of failures. The hybrid approach has recently emerged as a technique that overcomes the limitations of both surgical and catheter procedures alone. Methods and Results

Presenting Pattern of Atrial Fibrillation and Outcomes of Early Rhythm Control Therapy

open access: yes, 2022
BACKGROUND: Whether atrial fibrillation (AF) pattern or timing of AF therapy modifies the effectiveness of early rhythm control (ERC) is not known.OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients presenting with ...

Ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation

open access: yesIn a Good Rhythm, 2018
Atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia which causes deterioration of the quality of life and increases frequency of hospitalizations. It also causes a significant increase in the risk of stroke, heart failure and other thrombo-embolic complications. Ablation is more effective than pharmacological treatment in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation,

Role of cardiac resynchronization therapy in the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation: A single-center prospective study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Albeit several studies examined the association between cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in heart failure (HF), results are still unclear and quite conflicting.

Animal models for investigating post‐stroke cognitive impairment: A neurovascular trafficking perspective

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Animal models enable mechanistic testing of how ischemic injury disrupts neurovascular trafficking and drives cognitive vulnerability after stroke. Complementary models capture distinct vascular, cellular, white matter, and cognitive features of PSCI.

Effect of sacubitril/valsartan on sinus rhythm maintenance after catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation without reduced ejection fraction heart failure: a study protocol for a multi-center, open-label, randomized, controlled, superiority clinical trial

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
IntroductionA high recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation was monitored after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Sacubitril/valsartan can improve outcomes for patients with heart failure and ventricular tachycardia, but few studies ...

Catheter Ablation versus Thoracoscopic Surgical Ablation in Long Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (CASA-AF): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

open access: yesTrials, 2018
Background Atrial fibrillation is the commonest arrhythmia which raises the risk of heart failure, thromboembolic stroke, morbidity and death. Pharmacological treatments of this condition are focused on heart rate control, rhythm control and reduction in

Mechanical Thrombectomy Versus Medical Management for Large Ischemic Core Stroke Identified before Inter‐Hospital Transfer: A Post Hoc Analysis of the LASTE Trial

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective This study assessed the efficacy of thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke because of large‐vessel occlusion (AIS‐LVO) initially admitted to primary stroke centers (PSC) and subsequently transferred to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC), with a large ischemic core identified before transfer.

N-terminal arginines modulate plasma-membrane localization of Kv7.1/KCNE1 channel complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background and Objective: The slow delayed rectifier current (IKs) is important for cardiac action potential termination. The underlying channel is composed of Kv7.1 α-subunits and KCNE1 β-subunits.
