The autonomic nervous system has been proven to play a major role in the onset of atrial fibrillation (AF), along with predisposing substrate and specific trigger event usually consisting premature supraventricular ectopic beat (SVEB). By means heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, we investigated activity before SVEBs nontriggering triggering AF.We evaluated 28 patients at least 1 episode sustained AF (>30 seconds) recorded during 24-hour Holter monitorings. We performed HRV analysis hour...
Competition for available nutrients and the presence of anatomical barriers are major determinants tumor growth in vivo. We extend a model recently proposed to simulate neoplasms real tissues include geometrical constraints mimicking pressure effects on surface induced by rigid or semirigid structures. Different have different diffusivities cells. Despite simplicity approach, based few inherently local mechanisms, numerical results agree qualitatively with clinical data (computed tomography...
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed lifestyle worldwide, including sport. A comprehensive evaluation of the prevalence cardiac involvement in is essential to finalize a safe protocol for resuming elite aim this study evaluate incidence and impact on athletic performance.This retrospective observational analysed data collected from consecutive competitive athletes who performed medical-sports examinations at J Medical Center March 2020 2021. All periodically molecular test using...
Current guidelines recommend the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for management atrial fibrillation (AF). However, widespread MRI in clinical practice is difficult to achieve. The aim present study assess whether can be adopted identify ablation-induced fibrosis, and its relationship with AF recurrences. Fifty patients undergoing cryoballoon ablation were prospectively enrolled. Cardiac was performed before 30 days after index ablation. Commercially available software a...
Background Few data are available regarding the prevalence of left atrium (LA) thrombi in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients treated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Methods: We evaluated and predictors LA/LA appendage (LAA) non-valvular AF NOACs referring to a single centre for scheduled electrical cardioversion (ECV) or catheter ablation (CA). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed within 12 h prior index procedure.Results A total 352 consecutive were...
Catheter ablation (CA) is the current standard of care for patients suffering drug-refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (MMVTs). Yet, despite significant technological improvements, recurrences remain common, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) increasingly being adopted overcome limitations conventional CA, but its safety efficacy are still under evaluation.We hereby present case a 73-year-old patient implanted with mitral...
The effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the risk ventricular arrhythmias is controversial. Several studies reported a decreased risk, but some potential proarrhythmic epicardial left pacing resolved upon discontinuation biventricular (BiVp).
QT interval may be considered an indirect marker of atrial repolarization. Aim our study was to verify if variations precede the onset fibrillation (AF).We analyzed 21 AF onsets recorded at 24-h Holter ECG. Triggering supraventricular extrabeats (TSVEB) were identified and matched nontriggering (NTSVEB) with same prematurity index. QTc intervals their variability (max-min interval) measured in 10 beats preceding TSVEB NTSVEB.QTc (470.1 ± 56.7 vs. 436.7 25.6 ms; P = 0.006), (36.8 13.1 21.1...
Abstract Introduction Mapping system is useful in ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and localization anatomic variances. Voltage mapping identifies a low voltage area the Koch triangle called low‐voltage‐bridge (LVB); propagation collision point (CP) atrial wavefront convergence. We conducted prospective study to evaluate relationship between LVB CP with successful site identify standard value for LVB. Materials Methods Three‐dimensional (3D) maps right atria...
Abstract Vein of Marshall ethanol infusion (VoM–EI) is a new therapeutic option effective for decreasing the likelihood atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with persistent fibrillation (PAF). Complications related to retrograde EI described literature are rare but can have grave consequences patient. Our clinical case shows how careful evaluation anatomy left atrium venous circulation significantly reduce risk serious adverse events (SAEs). A 64–year–old man underwent second ablation...
Abstract Background/Introduction Conduction system pacing (CSP), encompassing His bundle (HBP) and left branch area (LBBAP), has gained prominence in treating bradycardia heart failure recent years. Despite its increasing utilization, data on real-world adoption of CSP are limited. Purpose The C-SING study aimed at assessing patient characteristics, implant success, procedural details, safety when performed routine clinical practice. Methods Periprocedural from 27 experienced centers across...
