Pulsed‐Field Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation in EU‐PORIA Registry
A total of 457 persistent AF patients from EU‐PORIA were included in this trial and Propensity score matched (PSM) analysis was conducted. The Kaplan‐Meier curve of all‐atrial arrhythmia‐free survival for (A) all persistent patients and (B) patients who underwent PSM conducted to the higher recurrence rate in PVI + α group.

Catheter Ablation Improves Ventilatory Efficiency in Atrial Fibrillation‐Mediated Cardiomyopathy
ABSTRACT Background Exercise Oscillatory Ventilation (EOV) and a steep ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2) slope are features of ventilatory inefficiency on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), both associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). The prevalence in patients with co‐existent atrial fibrillation (AF) and the impact of

ABSTRACT Leadless pacemakers as the Medtronic Micra AV, have improved cardiac pacing by reducing complications associated with traditional systems. However, achieving high atrioventricular synchrony (AVS) remains a challenge, especially in patients with a high pacing burden.

The extent of pulmonary vein electrical connection predicts the success of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. ABSTRACT Background Identification of persistent AF (PsAF) patients who may be cured with stand‐alone pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) would allow more efficient ablation strategies. Intuitively, the benefit

In a clinical trial of a novel sealant‐based VCD to achieve hemostasis following endovascular procedures, patients randomized to receive the MYNX CONTROL VENOUS VCD had decreased TTH, TTA, and TDE, as compared to patients who received MC. ABSTRACT Background While manual compression (MC) remains the standard of care to achieve hemostasis, a novel ...

ABSTRACT This state‐of‐the‐art review is based on the Philippe Coumel Lecture in 2024 (Figure 1). It highlights the confluence of two major cardiovascular epidemics, atrial fibrillation and heart failure, with preserved ejection fraction. In these conditions, advances in electrophysiology and heart failure physiology are intertwined and are integrated ...
