In a randomized controlled trial in individuals with persistent atrial fibrillation, an individualized ablation procedure, in which areas with abnormal electrophysiological characteristics—as detected...

The coronary venous system offers a route for mapping and ablation of ventricular arrhythmias with suspected epicardial or intramural origins. Coronary venous mapping helps the operator to select the ...

What is the state of trust in scientists around the world? To answer this question, the authors surveyed 71,922 respondents in 68 countries and found that trust in scientists is moderately high.

BACKGROUND: Ablation strategies for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation and isolated pulmonary veins vary and their effects on arrhythmia recurrence remain unclear. A prospective randomized ...

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a source of non–pulmonary vein triggers in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Electrical isolation of the LAA (EILAA) improves rhythm outcome with an inherent risk of embolism unless lifelong anticoagulation is continued. However, evidence of the efficacy and safety of EILAA in the East Asian population remains lacking.

AbstractBackground and Aims. Moderate wine consumption has been associated with lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in older populations. However, wine

Background Cardioneuroablation (CNA) treats reflex syncope by ablating ganglionated plexi (GPs) either confined to the right (RA) or left atrium (LA), or accessible from both. We assessed whether GP a...

In patients undergoing CRT, LVSP had comparable CRT outcomes compared with LBBP.

Abstract. Safe and efficient radiofrequency catheter ablation depends significantly on the proper placement of dispersive patch electrodes (DPEs), on the s

The long-term outcome of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation demonstrates attrition. This outcome may be due to failure to attenuate the progressive sub…

This clinical trial evaluates whether linear ablation combined with ethanol infusion of the vein of Marshall and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is more effective than PVI alone in patients with persis...

In the traditional understanding of the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardioembolic stroke (CES), lack of effective atrial contraction in the fibrillating atrium leads to stasis of...

Patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy are at high risk for adverse outcomes. Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular tac...

Oral anticoagulation is recommended after ablation for atrial fibrillation among patients at high risk for stroke. Left atrial appendage closure is a mechanical alternative to anticoagulation, but ...
