Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Clinical Utility of Tissue Proximity Indication With a Variable‐Loop Circular Catheter for Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The variable‐loop circular catheter (VLCC, VARIPULSE) is a pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) catheter equipped with a Tissue Proximity Indication (TPI) function, which monitors catheter‐tissue contact. Although TPI‐negative sites have been reported to contribute to gap formation, no studies have evaluated the utility of real‐time function.

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Dynamic Behavior of Left Atrial Low‐Voltage Areas in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Implications for Substrate‐Guided Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Patient selection and analysis flow diagram. The exact pre‐inclusion denominator and reliable reason‐specific exclusion counts could not be reconstructed because a prospectively maintained screening log was unavailable. The diagram summarizes the final study cohort and analysis‐specific sample sizes. AF, atrial fibrillation; LVA, low‐voltage area; SR1,

Terminal S Wave Pattern in Lead V3 as a Simple Marker for Ventricular Tachycardia Risk Stratification in Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT). This risk is most commonly related to slow conduction within the septal isthmus, which is defined as the region between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) patch and adjacent valvular annuli.
