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.

ABSTRACT Background Accurate pre‐procedural differentiation of right (RVOT) versus left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) origin in idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias may facilitate procedural planning and mapping strategy. However, existing 12‐lead ECG criteria show variable performance and often fail to provide clear discrimination when ...

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...

ABSTRACT Background In Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome, accurate localization of accessory pathways before catheter ablation can improve procedural planning and efficiency. Several 12‐lead electrocardiographic (ECG) algorithms have been proposed, but their diagnostic performance has not been consistently established.

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast
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
