Transthoracic Echocardiography‐Guided Implantation of Aveir VR Leadless Pacemaker Without Fluoroscopy

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemaker implantation traditionally relies on fluoroscopy and contrast‐guided techniques. However, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, the use of contrast carries a risk of nephrotoxicity, and fluoroscopy leads to additional ionizing radiation exposure.

Transthoracic echocardiography for perioperative haemodynamic monitoring

open access: yes, 2017
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is valuable for perioperative monitoring in patients at risk from haemodynamic disturbance. However, its use is not practicable in patients undergoing surgical procedures under regional anaesthesia. We describe two

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

open access: yesPacing 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 ...

Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix‐Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Comparison of Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of Intracardiac Tumors in Adults

open access: yes, 2008
  To compare transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of intracardiac tumors, 17 patients (8 men and 9 women, aged 19 years to 67 years) whose intracardiac tumors were detected by echocardiography were studied in a 4-yea5 ...

Left Internal Mammary Artery Injury After Pacemaker Lead Implant—Case Report and Review of Literature

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We hereby report a case of a 75‐year‐old patient who developed a large left‐sided hemopneumothorax after a routine dual‐chamber pacemaker insertion. The rare complication was caused by the pacing lead injuring the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) after perforating the right ventricle.

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.

Galectin‐3 plasma levels are associated with left atrial contractile function in long‐distance runners

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...

Long‐term adverse cardiovascular changes induced by cocoa shell extract administration through lactation in fetal undernourished and control rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cocoa shell extract (CSE; rich in antioxidant compounds) administered to adult hypertensive rats exposed to fetal undernutrition (MUN) reduces blood pressure, improving cardiovascular alterations. We aimed to explore lactation as a reprogramming window, evaluating the long‐term effects of CSE supplementation during this period. MUN and control
