Abstract Background and objective Contact force (CF) sensing is a novel technology used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). We compared the single procedure success CF‐guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with that non‐CF guided PVI during 3‐year (1,095 days) follow up period analyzed pattern (PV) reconnection. Methods A cohort 167 subjects (68 CF vs. 99 non‐CF) paroxysmal AF were included in study. Atrial arrhythmia (AA) recurrence was defined as documented AF, flutter, or...
• In this analysis of 3,396 preclinical studies published in 5 leading cardiovascular journals over a 10-year period, women accounted for 24 ± 17% authors per manuscript. Female authorship is increasing science, but the proportions articles with first and senior different sex have remained unchanged, which suggests that segregation by mentorship relationships exists persists. reported animals used, female was positively associated studying animals, using both sexes, reporting sex-specific...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reduces left ventricular (LV) afterload and improves prognosis in stenosis (AS) patients. However, LV consists of both valvular arterial loads, the benefits TAVR may be attenuated if load dominates. We proposed a new hemodynamic index, Relative Valve Load (RVL), ratio mean gradient (MG) valvuloarterial impedance (Zva), to describe relative contribution global load, examined whether RVL predicted patient outcome following TAVR.A total 258 patients...
Multiplex stress including heat strain, physical exertion, and other aspects of military operations negatively affect executive function. Heat acclimation (HA) improves physical/physiological resilience thus safety during exposure maintains/improves performance. Little is known about how HA affects multiple cognitive function in men women. PURPOSE: To conduct a pilot investigation the effects on performance sample subjects an ongoing research investigation. METHODS: Healthy women (n = 8, age...
