Mashup Score: 8HRS Call to Action: Improved MRI Access for Patients with Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices - 16 hour(s) ago
Access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains limited for many patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), despite evidence demonstrating safety under appropriate conditions. This call-to-action statement from the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) aims to describe persistent barriers to MRI access for patients with a CIED and to provide practical, actionable recommendations for improvement of clinical care. Developed by a multidisciplinary writing committee, this document addresses regulatory, operational, and institutional challenges; highlights findings from a recent HRS member survey on MRI access; and outlines the impact of evolving vendor-specific MRI exclusions.

Mashup Score: 8Optimizing Conduction System Pacing: Is Hierarchical Physiological Pacing the Answer? - 21 hour(s) ago
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), which includes true left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) and left ventricular septal pacing (LVsP), has become increasingly popular as a pacing modality since its initial description in 2017.1 Observational data suggest improved outcomes compared to traditional right ventricular (RV) pacing.2 Moreover, large observational studies have demonstrated that LBBAP improves outcomes in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT),3 with signals indicating a greater magnitude of benefit when compared to traditional bi-ventricular CRT.

Mashup Score: 58Anatomic approach to mitral isthmus ablation guided by left atrial intracardiac echocardiography - 2 day(s) ago
Catheter ablation of mitral annular flutter is challenging, often requiring ablation in the coronary sinus or ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (VOM). Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) from the left atrium provides unobstructed views of the mitral isthmus anatomy.

Mashup Score: 12Combining Polygenic with Clinical Risk Scores in Atrial Fibrillation Risk Prediction: Implications for Population Screening - 2 day(s) ago
AF development is determined by clinical risk factors and genetic predisposition. Few studies have explored whether incorporating polygenic risk scores (PRS) improves clinical risk prediction beyond existing models.

Mashup Score: 23HRS/ACC scientific statement: Guiding principles on same-day discharge for intracardiac catheter ablation procedures - 2 day(s) ago
Percutaneous catheter ablation in interventional cardiac electrophysiology has evolved over the past several decades. Technologic advances and evolving procedural strategies have improved procedural efficiencies, increased success rates, and lowered complication rates. These advances have increased the ability to treat more patients successfully; however, limitations to access have grown. Access challenges (exacerbated during the COVID-19 public health emergency) and economic pressures have driven a shift in practice trends to reduce hospitalization duration and optimize resource utilization.

Mashup Score: 8Chronic Extraction of Stylet-Driven Leads Implanted at the Left Bundle Branch Area in a Preclinical Model - 3 day(s) ago
Implantation of cardiac pacemaker leads in the left bundle branch area (LBBA) has been increasingly adopted into clinical practice, driven by the goal of leveraging the natural conduction system to achieve physiologic cardiac pacing. Long-term management of pacemaker leads may require lead extraction to address infection or device malfunction, yet limited clinical data exists on extraction of LBBA leads chronically implanted deep within the interventricular septum.
