Pulsed‐Electrical Field Ablation Completes Pulsed‐Field Ablation—Lessons Learned on Tissue Proximity Indication in Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF) is the current cornerstone for AF ablation. Besides thermal ablation techniques, nonthermal pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is rapidly transforming the way PVI is achieved. As every new technology has its own learning curve, we would like to report the lessons we learned by ...

Intermittent Ventricular Pre‐Excitation: Clinical Features and Electrophysiological Properties

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intermittent ventricular pre‐excitation has long been considered a low‐risk marker for sudden death. Accessory pathways (APs) with high‐risk intermittent antegrade conductive properties may exist, but this still represents a gray area in current guidelines.

Coexistence of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia and Idiopathic Left Ventricular Outflow-Tract Tachycardia [PDF]

, 2005
Double tachycardia is a relatively rare condition. We describe a 21 year old woman with history of frequent palpitations. In one of these episodes, she had wide complex tachycardia with right bundle branch and inferior axis morphology.

Impact of Pulmonary Vein Isolation on Atrial Fibrillation Organisation: Correlation of Intracardiac and Surface Electrocardiogram Measures

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Electrical activity in atrial fibrillation (AF) ranges from organized focal drivers to multiple wavelet re‐entry. Understanding the effect of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) on AF organization is clinically important, as it may optimize treatment strategies and outcomes.

Percutaneous Catheter Ablation of Epicardial Accessory Pathways. [PDF]

, 2017
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the treatment of choice in patients with accessory pathways (APs) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Endocardial catheter ablation has limitations, including the inability to map and ablate intramural or ...

Hemolysis Induced by Pulsed‐Field Ablation of Atrial Arrhythmias: A Comparative Analysis of Current Systems

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Real world, clinical comparison of hemolysis induced by different pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) platforms. Focal PFA catheters induce less hemolysis per procedure and application compared to large‐footprint catheters. ABSTRACT Introduction Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology associated with dose‐dependent hemolysis as a recently ...

Galectin-3 in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is an emerging biomarker in heart failure that is involved in fibrosis and inflammation. However, its potential value as a prognostic marker in atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown.
