Averaged Impedance Drop Estimates Conduction Gap During Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 501-509, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background EnSite X provides a module to filter oscillated generator impedance signals due to cardiac beating/respiration (averaged impedance drop, AID). TactiFlex ablation catheter Sensor Enabled (TFSE) is the latest product to incorporate a contact‐force sensor with a flexible tip but without lesion‐estimating parameters.

Impact of Pulsed Field Ablation Dosing on Outcome After Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a Pentaspline Ablation Catheter: A Prospective Comparison of 8 Versus 16 Applications

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 583-592, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non‐thermal ablation modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). For the pentaspline catheter, eight applications per pulmonary vein (PV) are considered standard, with four in basket configuration and four in flower configuration.

Autonomic Profile Changes After Pulsed‐Field Versus Thermal Ablation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 296-307, March 2026.
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.

Multimodal Measurement and Stimulation System to Investigate the Effects of Noninvasive Electrical Stimulation of the Phrenic Nerve

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Mechanical ventilation, as performed daily in intensive care units, can lead to ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. A reduction in diaphragmatic force generation can occur within the first 24 h.

The hypoxic ventilatory response and arousal burden predict the magnitude of ventilatory long‐term facilitation in humans with obstructive sleep apnoea

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1441-1453, 1 March 2026.
Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

Maximal strength and voluntary activation of adductor pollicis after a single session of acute intermittent hypercapnia or acute intermittent hypoxia

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 877-892, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can increase maximal strength of limb muscles in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), but it is mostly untested in people without SCI. Acute intermittent hypercapnia (AIC) may engage similar respiratory circuits to AIH, but the effects of AIC on human limb motor output are unknown.
