Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, potential complications can occur due to the propagation of thermal energy into non-target tissues adjacent to the targeted myocardium. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality with the potential for preferential myocardial tissue ablation to minimize damage to collateral…

Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is emerging as an attractive pacing modality, as it offers more physiologic pacing compared with standard right ventricular apical pacing and is associated with excellent pacing characteristics compared with His bundle pacing.1–5 Left ventricular septal pacing via a transseptal route was first reported by Mafi-Rad and colleauges1 in 2017 using a custom-made…

Mashup Score: 1Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest within the United States: Now is the time for change - 1 year(s) ago
This review highlights the current evidence on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in cardiac arrest outcomes within the United States. Several studies demonstrate that patients from Black, Hispanic, or lower socioeconomic status backgrounds suffer the most from disparities at multiple levels of the resuscitation pathway, including in the provision of bystander cardiopulmonary…

Mashup Score: 5Rhythm versus rate control for atrial fibrillation in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - 1 year(s) ago
There are few prospective studies assessing the benefits of rhythm control of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which accounts for 50% of all heart failure patients.

This meta-analysis including 5 studies and 16,825 patients shows ; Rhythm control for AF was associated with lower all-cause ☠️ (OR 0.735, 95% CI 0.665–0.813; P < .001) as compared to rate control in #AFib patients with #HFpEF https://t.co/AYnDdyboyZ #HeartFailure #CardioEd https://t.co/9hxjfFM2f2

Mashup Score: 1Management of atrial fibrillation in rheumatic heart disease - 1 year(s) ago
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the underlying cause of a significant proportion of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the low- and middle-income countries, while nonvalvular AF is the most common cause of AF in high-income countries. RHD is also common among African Americans, migrants, and the indigenous population of high-income countries. The onset of AF in RHD patients is a clinical marker of…

Post-defibrillation myocardial contractile dysfunction adversely affects the survival of patients after cardiac arrest. Attenuation of diastolic calcium (Ca2+) overload by stabilization of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is found to reduce refibrillation after long-duration ventricular fibrillation (LDVF).
