Mashup Score: 3
Techniques for catheter ablation have evolved to effectively treat a range of ventricular arrhythmias. Pre-operative electrocardiographic and cardiac imaging data are very useful in understanding the arrhythmogenic substrate and can guide mapping and ablation. In this review, we focus on best practices for catheter ablation, with emphasis on tailoring ablation strategies, based on the presence or…

Mashup Score: 5
Challenging anatomic and morphologic conditions of the left ventricular (LV) summit architecture and its surrounding sites may prevent sufficient heating of the targeted area during standard radiofrequency catheter ablation. Bipolar ablation can result in higher likelihood of efficacy for ablation of LV summit arrhythmias from inaccessible regions and increase the chance of achieving a transmural…

Mashup Score: 0COVID-19, Acute Myocardial Injury, and Infarction - 3 year(s) ago
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 can affect the cardiovascular system yielding a wide range of complications, including acute myocardial injury. The myocardium can be damaged by direct viral invasion or indirect mechanisms, sustained by systemic inflammation, immune-mediated response, and dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system. Myocardial injury affects about one-quarter of…

Mashup Score: 0Atrial Fibrillation Population Screening - 3 year(s) ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with adverse outcomes. Screening may lead to earlier recognition and treatment of asymptomatic AF. However, most evidence regarding AF applies to clinical AF, with symptoms or electrocardiographic diagnosis. Whether this evidence can be translated toward subclinical AF, without symptoms and detected by novel, more continuous screening devices is uncertain….

Mashup Score: 0Sleep Apnea and Atrial Fibrillation - 4 year(s) ago
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) creates a complex and dynamic substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF), which is characterized by structural remodeling as a result of long-term OSA as well as transient and acute apnea-associated transient atrial electrophysiological changes. OSA is present in 21% to 74% of patients with AF, and nonrandomized studies suggest that treatment of OSA by continuous…

@AmitGoyalMD @CardioNerdsJC Absolutely. Need to screen AND treat all patients with #AFib for #OSA. Nice review paper from @Dominik_Linz @PrashSanders about AF and OSA here: https://t.co/KvsjghDzvf https://t.co/xAtDHhKm69
