Abstract Background and Aims Patterns of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence post-catheter ablation for persistent AF (PsAF) are not well described. This study aimed to describe the pattern seen following catheter PsAF implications healthcare utilization quality life (QoL). Methods was a post-hoc analysis CAPLA study, an international, multicentre that randomized patients with symptomatic pulmonary vein isolation plus posterior wall or alone. Patients underwent twice daily single lead ECG,...
Abstract Background and Aims Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is commonly incorporated into catheter ablation (CA) strategies for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in an attempt to improve outcomes. In the CAPLA randomized study, adjunctive PWI did not freedom from arrhythmia at 12 months compared with pulmonary vein (PVI) alone. Whether additional reduces recurrence over longer term remains unknown. Methods this multicenter, international, study patients AF undergoing index CA using...
Abstract Background Pneumothorax is a well‐recognized complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) insertion. While AP fluoroscopy alone the most commonly imaging technique for subclavian or axillary access, caudal (angle 40°) routinely used at our institution. The view provides additional separation first rib and clavicle may reduce risk pneumothorax. We assessed outcomes institution fluoroscopic guided pacing lead Methods Retrospective cohort study consecutive patients...
This study aims to evaluate if pre-hospital heparin administration by paramedics is safe and improves clinical outcomes.Using the multicentre Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry, linked with state-wide ambulance records, we identified consecutive patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI between January 2014 December 2018. Information on thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow at angiography was available a subset of cases. Patients receiving were...
The diagnostic work-up for cardiac arrest from ventricular tachyarrhythmias occurring in younger adults and structurally normal hearts is variable often incomplete.We reviewed records all recipients of a secondary prevention implantable defibrillator (ICD) than 60 years at single quaternary referral hospital 2010 to 2021. Patients with unexplained arrhythmias (UVA) were identified as those no structural heart disease on echocardiogram, obstructive coronary disease, clear features ECG. We...
Catheter ablation for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated improved left ventricular (LVEF) survival compared medical therapy. Nonrandomized studies have reported success posterior wall isolation (PWI).
