Mashup Score: 2
Purpose The relationship between height and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) has recently been demonstrated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of height on outcomes of ablation in patients with drug-refractory symptomatic paroxysmal AF (PAF). Methods A total of 689 patients (470 males; age, 53.0 ± 11.7 years) with symptomatic paroxysmal AF receiving index catheter ablation (CA) between 2003 and…

Purpose The aim was to report procedural and technical differences of a novel cryoballoon (NCB) ablation catheter for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared to the standard cryoballoon (SCB) catheter. Methods Consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing PVI using the NCB and the SCB were included. Procedural parameters, technical differences, acute efficacy, and safety are…

Purpose Advanced non-fluoroscopic mapping systems for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have shown to be an effective treatment of atrial fibrillation. This study analyzes the resource usage and subsequent costs associated with the implementation of an ultra-high density mapping system (UHDMS) compared to non-ultra-high density mapping systems (NUHDMS). Methods This retrospective observational study…

Accessory pathway (AP) mapping is currently based on point-by-point mapping and identifying if a local electrogram’s origin is atrial, pathway, or ventricular, which is time-consuming and prone to insufficient mapping. We sought to determine the feasibility of automated and high-density mapping to define AP location using open-window mapping (OWM), which does not rely on defining the…

Mashup Score: 3Potential therapeutic effects of electrogram-guided cardioneuroablation in long QT syndrome: case series - 4 year(s) ago
A significant shortening of the corrected QT interval (QTc) in addition to parasympathetic denervation after cardioneuroablation (CNA) was recently demonstrated in patients with vagally mediated bradyarrhythmias and normal QTc range. This study assessed the effects of CNA on ventricular repolarization and heart rate by using QTc measurements in 2 patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS). The case…

To investigate the learning curve for atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and premature ventricular contraction (PVC) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using zero fluoroscopy. This is a retrospective, single-center study of 167 patients undergoing ablation between 2016 and 2019. Minimal fluoroscopy approach was initiated after the first 20 cases of PVI and SVT RFA….

Mashup Score: 12COVID-19 and cardiac arrhythmias: a global perspective on arrhythmia characteristics and management strategies - 4 year(s) ago
Cardiovascular and arrhythmic events have been reported in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, arrhythmia manifestations and treatment strategies used in these patients have not been well-described. We sought to better understand the cardiac arrhythmic manifestations and treatment strategies in hospitalized COVID-19 patients through a worldwide cross-sectional survey. The Heart Rhythm…
