Long-term endurance sport practice has been increasingly recognized as a risk factor for lone atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the outcome of circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) in athletes are scarce. The aim study was to evaluate efficacy CPVA AF secondary practice. Patients submitted answered questionnaire about lifetime history Endurance were defined those who engaged >3 h per week high-intensity exercise at least 10 years immediately preceding their diagnosis. A...
Virtual reality offers a multisensory experience to patients, allowing them hear, watch, and interact in virtual environment. Immersive is particularly suitable for the purpose of completely isolating patients from external environment transport away suffering related disease. On this state art, we summarize available literature on effectiveness various physical psychological outcomes with atherosclerotic cardiovascular has been employed field settings such as cardiac rehabilitation,...
Background: This multicenter, prospective study evaluated the determinants of zero-fluoroscopy (ZFL) ablation supraventricular tachycardias. Methods and Results: Four hundred thirty patients (215 male, 55.4±22.1 years) with indication to electrophysiological or tachycardias were enrolled. All participating physicians agreed follow as low reasonably achievable policy. A procedure was defined ZFL when no fluoroscopy used. The total time inversely correlated number procedures previously...
A breathable tattoo electrode for bio-potential recording based on a Parylene C nanofilm is presented in this study. The proposed approach allows the fabrication of micro-perforated epidermal submicrometer-thick electrodes that conjugate unobtrusiveness nanofilms and very important feature breathability. were fully validated electrocardiography (ECG) measurements showing performance comparable to conventional disposable gelled Ag/AgCl electrodes, with no visible negative effect skin even...
Abstract Nowadays, catheter-based ablation in patients with post-ischemic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is performed arrhythmogenic sites identified by electrophysiologists visual inspection during electroanatomic mapping. This work aims to present the development of machine learning tools aiming at supporting clinicians identification exploiting innovative features that belong different domains. study included 1584 bipolar electrograms from nine affected VT. Different were extracted time,...
Abstract Background Ablation index (AI) is a new lesion quality marker that has been demonstrated to allow high single‐procedure arrhythmia‐free survival in single‐center studies. This prospective, multi‐center study was designed evaluate the reproducibility of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation guided by AI. Methods A total 490 consecutive patients with paroxysmal (80.4%) and persistent AF underwent first time PV were divided four groups according operator's preference choosing ablation catheter...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcome is still operator dependent. Ablation Index (AI) a new lesion quality marker that has been demonstrated to allow acute durable pulmonary vein (PV) isolation followed by high single-procedure arrhythmia-free survival. This prospective, multicenter study was designed evaluate the reproducibility of PV guided AI.A total 490 consecutive patients with paroxysmal (80.4%) and persistent AF underwent first time encircling were divided in four groups...
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in high bleeding risk patients suffering fibrillation (AF) and analyze different antithrombotic therapies following intervention.This monocentric included 68 with nonvalvular AF an absolute contraindication OAT or at risk. Follow-up done a clinical visit 3-6-12 months.Successful LAAO achieved 67/68 patients. At discharge, 32/68 were on dual antiplatelet therapy (APT), 34/68 without any single drug,...
Abstract Aims Ablation index (AI) is a marker of lesion quality during catheter ablation that incorporates contact force, time, and power in weighted formula. This was originally developed for pulmonary vein isolation as well other left atrial procedures. The aim our study to evaluate the feasibility efficacy AI cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) patients presenting with typical flutter (AFL). Methods results prospective multicentre non-randomized enrolled 412 consecutive AFL undergoing AI-guided...
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) avoid complications secondary to transvenous leads, but inappropriate shocks (ISs) are frequent. Furthermore, IS data from patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) an S-ICD scarce.We aimed establish the frequency and predictors of in this population.We analyzed clinical electrocardiographic characteristics, automated screening test data, device programming, occurrence adult BrS S-ICD.Thirty-nine were enrolled (69% male, mean age at...
Abnormal ventricular potentials (AVPs) are frequently referred to as high-frequency deflections in intracardiac electrograms (EGMs). However, no scientific study performed a deep spectral characterisation of AVPs and physiological real bipolar recordings across the entire frequency range imposed by their sampling frequency. In this work, power contributions post-ischaemic AVPs, along with some features, were evaluated domain then statistically compared highlight specific signatures for these...
In this work, novel ultrathin and unperceivable Parylene C electrodes (conventionally indicated as 'tattoo electrodes') for ECG detection were comparatively assessed against off-the-shelf gelled Ag/AgCl ones. To aim, six 60s-long single-lead signals recorded from three volunteers. Signals tattoo simultaneously acquired at 2048 Hz using the TMSi Porti7 system. Although suffered slightly higher baseline wandering artifacts (1 ±1 m V) than ones (0.08±0.04 mV), they both achieved high similar...
Ventricular abnormal potentials (VAPs) identification is a challenging issue, since they constitute the ablation targets in substrate-guided mapping and procedures for ventricular tachycardia (VT) treatment.In this work, two approaches supervised classification of VAPs bipolar intracardiac electrograms are evaluated compared.To aim, 954 were retrospectively annotated by an expert cardiologist.All signals acquired from six patients affected post-ischemic VT CARTO3 system at San Francesco...
The Spigelian hernia or lateral ventral is a rare clinical entity, characterized by defect in the Seminular line. etiology mainly based on anatomical features of aponeurosis and all those conditions that lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure (COPD, obesity, chronic constipation), typical elderly. In our study, we report two cases which appear patients, 75-year-old female 71-year-old male, both had associated comorbidities. patient, suffering from hypertension history diverticular...
Ventricular abnormal potentials are low-amplitude electrical signals that appear in intracardiac electrograms during a QRS or with an unpredictable delay respect to it.Their spatial localization can be exploited by cardiologists for the identification of ablation targets substrate-guided mapping and procedures.In this work, automatic approach reliable detection such is proposed.To aim, 86 from five patients post-ischemic ventricular tachycardia, acquired CARTO3 System, were retrospectively...
Abnormal ventricular potentials (AVPs) are fractionated and complex electrograms (EGMs), typically associated with slow conduction areas in the myocardium. As such, tachycardia (VT), their identification supports localization of myocardial sustaining arrhythmia electroanatomic mapping. Their latency can be related to spatial localization, suggesting entrance or exit a reentry pathway. In this work, we explored novel approach delineate onset pathological deflections AVPs. For preliminary...
