Combination of electrophysiological mapping, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and atrial appendectomy in a 5-year-old girl with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA) is uncommon and the most difficult arrhythmia to eliminate. Therefore, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) caused by AT

NT‐proBNP as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon, Radiofrequency and Pulsed‐Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

Electrocardiographic changes in dog after injection of different doses of the venom of the scorpion Odonthobuthus

Iranian South Medical Journal, 2005
There is scant information about biological effects of the venoms of scorpions on different organs. Sixteen healthy native dogs aged about 2 years with average body weight of 18.5 kg of both sexes were selected for this study.

Incidental Arrhythmias During Atrial Fibrillation Screening With Repeat 7‐Day Holter ECGs in a Hospital‐Based Patient Population

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) may reveal incidental arrhythmias of relevance. The aim of this study was to describe incidental arrhythmias detected during screening for AF in the STAR‐FIB (Predicting SilenT AtRial FIBrillation in ...

Effects of Endocardial Microwave Energy Ablation [PDF]

, 2005
Until recently the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) consisted primarily of palliation, mostly in the form of pharmacological intervention. However because of recent advances in nonpharmacologic therapies, the current expectation of patients and ...

Left Ventricular wall Thickness and Decrement Evoked Potentials in Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Preprocedural imaging can improve the success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify infarct regions. We sought to determine whether an association exists between left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) as obtained ...

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Multiple consecutive daily therapeutic plasma exchange using exclusively albumin replacement fluid in low bleeding risk patients is associated with only rare and mild bleeds

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) using exclusively albumin replacement fluid depletes coagulation factors, particularly fibrinogen, and concerns about performing multiple consecutive daily procedures due to iatrogenic bleeding exist. Fibrinogen testing to guide bleeding risk stratification is vague.
