Background. Circulating galectin-3 (Gal-3) and aldosterone (ALD) are involved in fibrosis inflammation. However, their potential value as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is unknown or controversial. Therefore, the aim this study was to assess relationship between baseline Gal-3, ALD levels, AF patients performing RFCA. Methods. 153 consecutive undergoing RFCA were included. Gal-3 measured at baseline. Univariate multivariate Cox...
Objective. To evaluate the value of individualized planning left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) using cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) reconstruction techniques. Methods. A total 96 patients treated for LAAO with Watchman occluder were included in this study. All randomized by random number table a 2:1 ratio into CCTA (+) and (-) groups according to whether was performed preoperatively. 3D preoperatively group plan location septal puncture site, appendage(LAA) landing zone,...
