Abstract Introduction The posterior wall (PW) has been proposed as a standard target for ablation beyond pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVI) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, studies have shown inconsistent outcomes with the addition of PW ablation.

A Case with no Hemodynamic Benefit from Right Ventricular Anodal Capture during Biventricular Pacing
This case report describes a patient with a biventricular pacing system in whom right ventricular anodal capture had no hemodynamic benefit. While controlling the ventricular output, three morphologies of the paced QRS complex were obtained: right ...

Abstract Aims Classifying patients as responders or non‐responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been recently challenged, suggesting that preventing heart failure (HF) progression may also provide survival benefits. We assessed a novel classification based on echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling and the ...

Abstract Introduction Approaches applying higher energy levels for shorter periods (high power short duration, HPSD) to improve lesion formation for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have been introduced. This single‐center study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and lesion formation using the novel DiamondTemp (DT) catheter or an ablation index ...

A pacemaker that adapts heart rate in response to the patient's metabolic requirements has been developed. The pacemaker uses breathing frequency and tidal volume as the indicators of physiologic demand. Maximal physical work capacity, anaerobic threshold, oxygen uptake (16 patients) and hemodynamic variables (9 patients) were assessed with fixed rate (

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Adverse Events
Abstract In the last years, we assisted to a tremendous increase in therapeutic options for the management of cancers, with immunotherapy at the forefront of this innovation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been developed to enhance the activity of the immune system against cancer cells (1) and the number of approvals for ICIs has rapidly ...

Abstract Background The novel method of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has been reported to achieve better electrical and mechanical synchrony in the left ventricle than conventional right ventricular pacing (RVP). However, its effects on right ventricle (RV) performance are still unknown.
