Catheter ablation (CA) is a highly effective therapy for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) when compared with antiarrhythmic drug (ADT). No randomized studies have two strategies in persistent AF. The present trial aimed to compare effectiveness CA vs. ADT treating Patients AF were randomly assigned or (excluding patients long-standing AF). Primary endpoint at 12-month follow-up was defined as any episode flutter lasting >24 h that occurred after 3-month blanking period....

To examine factors related to excess mortality in a cohort of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD).We conducted survival analysis using prospective data 3311 CHD [50.5% males, median age at entry 22.5 years (IQR 18-39), follow-up time 10.5 (IQR: 4.4-18)]. Survival status each patient was further verified by cross checking the Spanish National Death Index. During total 37608 person-years, 336 (10%) patients died. Annual death rate 0.89% and standardized ratio (SMR) 2.64 [95% confidence...

The effectiveness of a hospital incident-reporting system (IRS) on improve patient safety is unclear. This study objective was to assess which implemented improvement actions after the analysis incidents reported were effective in reduce near-misses or adverse events. Patient (PSIs), near misses and events, notified IRS analyzed by local clinical leaders (CSLs) who propose implement actions. CSLs received training workshops tools. Following notification PSI IRS, prospective real-time...

Atrial tachycardias (ATs) are a significant source of morbidity in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study evaluates the incidence and clinical predictors AT cohort patients CHD.We included 3311 (median age at entry 22.6 years, 50.6% males) CHD (49% simple, 39% moderate, 12% complex) prospectively followed up tertiary center for 37 607 person-years. Predictors were identified by multivariable Cox regression analysis accounting left truncation. An external validation was...

Background: Data on atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and outcomes are limited in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We aimed to investigate the characteristics of CHD presenting for AF their outcomes. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective analysis was performed undergoing between 2004 2020 at 13 participating centers. The severity classified using 2014 Pediatric Congenital Electrophysiology Society/Heart Rhythm Society guidelines. Clinical data were collected. One-year complete...

Objectives To develop, calibrate, test and validate a logistic regression model for accurate risk prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) non-fatal arrest (SCA) in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), based on baseline lesion-specific stratification individual’s characteristics, to guide primary prevention strategies. Methods We combined data from single-centre cohort 3311 consecutive ACHD patients (50% male) at 25-year follow-up 71 events (53 SCD 18 SCA) multicentre case–control...
