The objective of the current study is to investigate risk heart failure (HF) after implantation a pacemaker (PM) with right ventricular pacing (RVP) lead in comparison matched cohort without PM and factors associated this risk.All patients known history HF who had implanted an RVP between 2000 2014 (n = 27 704) were identified using Danish nationwide registries. An age- gender-matched control (matched 1:5, n 138 520) was compare risk. Outcome cumulative incidence including fatal within first...

LAA Thrombus Among Anticoagulated AF Patients. Introduction: Catheter‐directed atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is contraindicated among patients with left appendage (LAA) thrombus. The prevalence of thrombus fully anticoagulated undergoing unknown. Methods and Results: We retrospectively evaluated the 192 consecutive between July 2006 January 2009. Seven (3.6%) had evidence on transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) despite being warfarin (international normalized ratio [INR] 2–3) for 4 weeks...

In patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB), QRS duration (QRSd) depends on ventricular (LV) dimension. Previously, we demonstrated that normalizing QRSd to LV dimension, adjust for variations in size, improved prediction of hemodynamic response cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). addition, sex-specific differences CRT outcome have been attributed normalized QRSd. The present study evaluates the effect normalization dimension survival after implantation.In this 2-center study,...

Several studies that used claims and registry data have reported 40% to 80% of patients eligible for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fail receive one in clinical practice, the rates are especially high among women blacks. The extent documented reasons nonuse ICDs with left ventricular systolic dysfunction unknown.Using hospital data, we identified hospitalized a heart failure diagnosis ejection fraction ≤30% between January 1, 2007, August 30, at tertiary-care center. Using...

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Few studies have compared clinical outcomes after catheter ablation between patients with and those without DM.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare AF in DM.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis 351 consecutive who underwent first-time ablation. Clinical included freedom from recurrent arrhythmia, symptom burden (Mayo Symptom Inventory score), cardiovascular all-cause...
