Mashup Score: 17State of the Journal 2025 - 2 month(s) ago
Heart Rhythm O2 (HRO2) joined the portfolio of Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) journals as a “gold” open access and online-only journal, launching December 2019 and publishing its first issue on April 27, 2020. December 2024 is a remarkable milestone for HRO2 as we successfully complete this first 5 years of publication! The success of this journal is a reflection of the hard work of the HRS journal staff, the HRO2 Associate/Section Editors, the Editorial Board, and reviewers. We deeply appreciate our readership, listeners of the HRO2 summary podcasts, and viewers of our author interviews on HRStv.

Mashup Score: 73Delineating Post-Infarct Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate with Dynamic Voltage Mapping in Areas of Omnipolar Vector Disarray - 7 month(s) ago
Defining post-infarct ventricular arrhythmic substrate is challenging with voltage mapping alone, though may be improved in combination with an activation map. Omnipolar Technology on the EnSite X system displays activation as vectors that can be superimposed onto a voltage map.

Mashup Score: 4Pulsed-field ablation versus thermal ablation for atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis - 8 month(s) ago
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is an alternative to thermal ablation (TA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving catheter-based therapy for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, its efficacy and safety have yet to be fully elucidated.

Mashup Score: 31
Limited real-world evidence exists for outcomes with contemporary guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) or GDMT with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%.

Mashup Score: 95
In the earliest heart failure guidelines, the primary therapeutic goal for patients with diastolic heart failure was “to reduce symptoms by lowering the elevated filling pressures without significantly reducing cardiac output.”1 Ten years earlier, a case series described a new clinical syndrome in elderly hypertensive patients with concentric hypertrophy, a small left ventricular (LV) cavity, and a supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥65% who presented with dyspnea or chest discomfort.

Mashup Score: 4Changes in electrical delay is associated with the hemodynamic response to cardiac pacing - 9 month(s) ago
Landmark studies of heart failure patients with prolonged QRS duration on electrocardiography (ECG) demonstrated that biventricular pacing (BIVP) was superior to right ventricular pacing (RVP).1 Detrimental long-term effects and unpredictable acute hemodynamic effects due to RVP led to the existing skepticism regarding RVP, and BIVP became favored as the standard of care implementing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).2 However, despite reductions in mortality and morbidity, one-third of eligible patients do not benefit from BIVP, thus demonstrating the shortcoming of QRS duration and morphology in predicting CRT response.

Mashup Score: 1Antiarrhythmic effects of metformin - 10 month(s) ago
Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is a major public health problem and is associated with stroke, heart failure, dementia, and death. It is estimated that 20%–30% of Americans will develop AF at some point in their life. Current medications to prevent AF have limited efficacy and significant adverse effects. Newer and safer therapies to prevent AF are needed. Ventricular arrhythmias are less prevalent than AF but may have significant consequences including sudden cardiac death. Metformin is the most prescribed, first-line medication for treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM).
