In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the vaso-vagal syncope (VVS) recurrence could be due to alteration of autonomic system function, evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV), and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-mIBG) myocardial scintigraphy indexes: Heart Mediastinum ratio (H/Mlate), Washout (WR). The SGLT2-I modulate/reduce dysfunction in T2DM VVS. This effect reduce VVS patients.In a prospective multicenter study, after propensity score matching, we studied population 324...
Background There is no evidence evaluating efficiency, effectiveness, and safety outcomes in older patients the context of pulsed‐field ablation technology for atrial fibrillation. We aimed to compare safety, efficacy, acute long‐term (≥75 years) with younger ones. Methods enrolled consecutive who had undergone fibrillation FARAPULSE system (Boston Scientific) at 15 centers. Patients were stratified by age (<65, 65–74, ≥75 efficacy profiles these groups compared. Results A total 1082...
ABSTRACT Background Micra leadless pacemaker offers an alternative to traditional transvenous pacemakers by eliminating the risks associated with leads and device pockets. Due technical demands of a transcatheter pacemaker, concerns initially limited procedure centers on‐site cardiac surgery (CS) capabilities. However, growing evidence supports its safe implementation in noncardiac surgical centers, though data comparing outcomes these settings remain limited. Aims This analysis aims...
Abstract Background The Micra leadless pacemaker provides a lead–free alternative to traditional transvenous pacemakers, significantly reducing complications associated with leads and device pockets. Although the initial application of pacemakers was limited centers on–site cardiac surgery due technical demands, recent evidence suggests that implantation can be safely extended without capabilities. However, comprehensive comparisons outcomes between these settings remain scarce. Aims This...

Abstract Aims Following coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, the Italian government adopted strict rules of lockdown and social distancing. The aim our study was to assess admission rate for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) replacement procedures in Campania, 3rd-most-populous region Italy, during COVID-19 lockdown. Methods results Data were sourced from 16 referral hospitals Campania 10 March 4 May 2020 (lockdown period) same period 2019. We retrospectively evaluated...
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Yet tools and techniques used for confirmation PVI vary greatly, it unclear whether use any particular combination provides greater sensitivity identifying gaps periprocedurally. It has been suggested a high-density mapping catheter, which enables simultaneous recording adjacent bipolar EGMs in two directions, may provide improved gap identification. Anonymized, acute procedural data was prospectively...
Introduction: Following the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, Italian government adopted strict rules of lockdown and social distancing. The aim our study was to assess admission rate for syncope leading cardiac rhythm management (CRM) procedures in Campania, third-most-populous region Italy, during COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: Data were sourced from 14 referral hospitals Campania 10th March 4 May 2020 (lockdown period) same period 2019. Among consecutive patients hospitalized CRM two...
Background . Optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) settings after implant can improve response to therapy. In this Italian single-center experience, we investigated the rate hemodynamic and clinical in heart failure patients treated with continuously automatically optimized CRT. Methods Patients were selected from June 2015 April 2017 according most recent CRT guidelines; all sinus rhythm at received a CRT-defibrillator system equipped SonR, which optimizes AV VV delays...
Abstract An 34–year–old man presented to the emergency department of our hospital with palpitations and presyncope. He was a smoker but had no others known cardiovascular risk factors. At admission, his electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) at rate 187 beats per minute. The VT successfully treated synchronized direct current cardioversion. ECG in sinus rhythm Qs from V1 V6 repolarization anomalies same site suspicious for previous anterior...
Abstract Background Patients with multiple cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities are increasing users of health care globally. The decision to perform ablation atrial fibrillation (AF) may be challenging in this population, due the difficulty evaluating their life expectancy and associated procedural risk. In addition, no data have been reported on efficiency, effectiveness, safety outcomes for non-thermal ablation, such as electroporation pulsed-field (PFA). Purpose To evaluate workflow AF...
Following a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), 68-year-old hypertensive, severely obese woman with 45% left ventricular ejection fraction underwent an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) insertion. After 8 months, the ICM remotely transmitted multiple non-sustained tachycardia episodes. Symptomatic during these events, patient invasive electrophysiologic stimulation, which induced arrhythmia. Subsequently, cardioverter-defibrillator implantation was recommended. Continuous remote...
Abstract Background/Introduction Conduction system pacing (CSP), encompassing His bundle (HBP) and left branch area (LBBAP), has gained prominence in treating bradycardia heart failure recent years. Despite its increasing utilization, data on real-world adoption of CSP are limited. Purpose The C-SING study aimed at assessing patient characteristics, implant success, procedural details, safety when performed routine clinical practice. Methods Periprocedural from 27 experienced centers across...
Abstract Background Visualization of the multi-electrode pulsed-field ablation (PFA) catheter within a 3D-mapping system holds potential to improve maneuverability and enhance outcomes, thereby improving procedural metrics. Purpose The aim our analysis, from real-world nationwide registry, is evaluate impact on acute safety efficacy in context PFA atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods All consecutive patients undergoing de novo AF with Farapulse at 13 centers were included. Protocol-directed PVI...
Abstract Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the vaso-vagal syncope (VVS) recurrence could be due to alteration of autonomic system function, evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV), and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-mIBG) myocardial scintigraphy indexes: Heart Mediastinum ratio (H/M late ), Washout (WR).
