Background: Andexanet alfa is a modified recombinant inactive factor Xa (FXa) designed to reverse FXa inhibitors. ANNEXA-4 (Andexanet Alfa, Novel Antidote the Anticoagulation Effects of Factor Inhibitors) was multicenter, prospective, phase-3b/4, single-group cohort study that evaluated andexanet in patients with acute major bleeding. The results final analyses are presented. Methods: Patients bleeding within 18 hours inhibitor administration were enrolled. Co-primary end points anti-FXa...
ECG criteria identifying epicardial (EPI) origin for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in nonischemic cardiomyopathy have not been determined. Endocardial (ENDO) and EPI basal left ventricle fibrosis characterizes the VT substrate.We assessed QRS from 102 basal-superior/lateral 67 comparable ENDO pace maps 14 patients with cardiomyopathy. Pace mapping focused on low bipolar voltage areas. Published morphology criteria: q wave lead I (QWLI) no waves inferior leads interval pseudo-delta > or =34...
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP) can produce left ventricle dysfunction. Conduction system (CSP) has been used successfully to reverse dysfunction in patients with bundle branch block. To date, data about CSP prevention of preserved ejection fraction (LVEF) are scarce and limited mostly nonrandomized studies. Our aim is demonstrate that preserve normal function compared RVAP the setting a high burden pacing. METHODS: Consecutive high-degree atrioventricular block or mildly...
Left atrial (LA) remodelling is a key determinant of fibrillation (AF) ablation outcome. Optimal methods to assess this process are scarce. LA sphericity shape-based parameter shown be independently associated procedural success. In multicentre study, we aimed test the feasibility assessing and evaluate its capability predict outcomes.This study included consecutive patients undergoing first AF during 2013. A 3D model chamber, excluding pulmonary veins appendage, was used quantify volume...
Abstract Background Neurodevelopmental impairments are common in children with congenital heart disease. The Cardiac Outcome Collaborative and Pediatric Critical Care Consortium registry linkage allows for the analysis of associations between neurodevelopmental, medical, sociodemographic variables a large contemporary cohort. Methods Children disease who required surgery cardiopulmonary bypass at <12 months age completed neurodevelopmental assessment 11-30 from 2019-2022 were included....
Abstract Introduction Recurrences after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation are still common. Among the reported clinical and imaging predictors of recurrences, diagnosis‐to‐ablation time (DAT) has been defined as a predictor outcome in single‐center studies. We aimed to validate DAT multicenter real‐life cohort. Methods This was study including consecutive patients undergoing first paroxysmal persistent AF with radiofrequency or cryoballoon catheters during 2013. Cox proportional hazard...
Background: The prognostic value of a prolonged QT interval in SARS-Cov2 infection is not well known. Objective: To determine whether the presence on admission an independent factor for mortality hospitalized patients. Methods: Single-center cohort 623 consecutive patients with positive polymerase-chain-reaction test (PCR) to SARS Cov2, recruited from 27 February 7 April 2020. An electrocardiogram was taken these within first 48 h after diagnosis and before administration any medication...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, concern regarding its effect on management of non-communicable diseases has been raised. However, there are no data impact cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) implantation rates. We aimed to determine SARS-CoV2 monthly incidence rates and type pacemaker (PM) defibrillator (ICD) implantations in Catalonia before after declaration state alarm Spain 14 March 2020.Data new CIED for 2017-20 were prospectively collected by nine hospitals Catalonia. A mixed...
Background and purpose Subclinical atrial fibrillation ( AF ) is known to underlie a number of cases cryptogenic stroke (CrS). However, there need define the most effective strategy for detection. The diagnostic usefulness was analysed based on ultra‐early continuous monitoring in patients with CrS terms detection, oral anticoagulation treatment recurrence, comparison standard outpatient strategy. Methods Patients ischaemic undetermined origin confirmed be after extensive work‐up were...
Introduction: The ability to acquire a dominant frequency (DF) map during atrial fibrillation (AF) instantaneously using noncontact mapping has significant advantages over the current sequential contact approach; however, relationship between DFs determined from bipolar and unipolar recordings is unknown. We sought determine difference bipolar, unipolar, pseudobipolar recordings. Methods: Sustained AF was induced in 5 canines with 10 weeks of tachy‐pacing at 440 ppm. A multielectrode array...
Achievement of complete cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) conduction block reduces typical atrial flutter recurrences after ablation. The lack increase in the His-to-coronary sinus ostium interval during incremental pacing (IP) from low lateral right atrium may distinguish slow CTI block.Sixty-six consecutive patients (age, 65±13 years; 18% female) were prospectively included. A <10 ms timing IP at cycle length 600 through 300 was compared with previously reported maneuver for confirmation block....
Cryoablation is safe and effective for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in controlled clinical trials, but contemporary real-world usage outcomes are limited. The Report Spanish Cryoballoon Ablation Registry (RECABA) was designed to evaluate acute 12-month cryoballoon ablation AF Spain. Patients from 27 centers were prospectively enrolled. treated with managed according standard care protocols at each center. primary endpoint ≥ 30 s freedom after a 3-month blanking period. Secondary...
