Catheter ablation is increasingly employed in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Data regarding safety AF largely derived from controlled clinical trials.The aim this study was to analyze and complications performed a "real world" setting outside trials, obtain insights on predictors complications.We utilized National Inpatient Sample database, identify all patients who underwent ablations between 2015 2017 using International Classification Disease-Tenth revision codes....
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) often have clinically useful battery life remaining when explanted because of upgrades, infection, or patient death.To show that ICDs can be resterilized and reused.Retrospective cohort study.Multicenter ICD acquisition single-center reimplantation.Indigent persons in India who had class I indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy with an were unable to afford such a device.Device longevity after reimplantation, device-related...
One hundred patients who presented to an Early Synovitis Clinic in 1979-81 were called for review after a minimum of 5 years. Sufficient data analysis obtained 88 cases, whom 36 had final diagnosis rheumatoid arthritis (19 seropositive, 17 seronegative) and 16 human parvovirus B19 arthropathy. Outcome was assessed by persistence symptoms greater than 24 months functional disability Health Assessment Questionnaire. Sixty-two persistent disease, with 26 showing some impairment (positive HAQ...
In patients with significant left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure despite optimal medical therapy, implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillation (CRT-D) devices has been shown to improve symptoms mortality. this report, we describe a case patient ischaemic cardiomyopathy who developed incessant tachycardia (VT) after undergoing an upgrade from implantable cardioverter defibrillator CRT-D device. The required multiple anti-arrhythmic agents, removal the...
Takotsubo syndrome is comprised of the clinical presentation an acute myocardial infarction with electrocardiographic (ECG) changes ischemia, chest pain, positive biomarkers, a pathognomonic left ventricular apical wall motion abnormality, and no culprit coronary disease at cardiac catheterization.This study aimed further definition characteristics this in African-American (AA) patients based on our experience single center.Patients who presented between June 2003 2005 were evaluated. All...
AimsWe aimed to ascertain whether an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM)-guided rhythm-control strategy and assessment of atrial fibrillation (AF) burden may allow safe withdrawal obviate long-term use oral anticoagulants (OACs) in AF patients at high bleeding risk.
The SEARCH-RIO study prospectively investigated electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived variables in chronic Chagas disease (CCD) as predictors of cardiac death and new onset ventricular tachycardia (VT). Cardiac arrhythmia is a major cause CCD, electrical markers may play significant role risk stratification. One hundred clinically stable outpatients with CCD were enrolled this study. They initially underwent 12-lead resting ECG, signal-averaged 24-h ambulatory ECG. Abnormal Q-waves, filtered QRS...
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is released from intracardiac neurons during vagal stimulation, ischemia, and heart failure, which are associated with increased vulnerability to atrial fibrillation. VIP shortens effective refractory periods in dogs. Endogenous contributes vagally mediated acceleration of electric remodeling. also shown prolong the duration acetylcholine-induced However, ionic mechanisms underlying effects largely unknown.The on transmembrane ion channels were studied...
Patients with cardiomyopathy of either ischemic or nonischemic origin are at increased risk for malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Normally sustained fibrillation (VF) leads to death very rapidly. We report two patients who remained in VF, supported by a left assist device, prolonged period time. Perfusion pressure through the device was sufficient allow remain awake and responsive several hours while VF. The cases represent longest reported episodes VF recorded implanted such devices.
Different pacing sites and various algorithms have been utilized to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) in pacemaker recipients. However, the optimal rate settings not yet established. In this randomized, prospective, multicentre, single-blinded, cross over study, rate-adaptive at a high base (BR) patients, age 60 years or above, history of paroxysmal AF, who underwent dual-chamber (DDD) implantation for standard indications, was evaluated prevention AF.In study cohort 145 patients implanted...
At peak COVID-19 lockdown, patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) were faced an equipoise between a palliative rate-control versus cautious rhythm-control strategy, including hospitalization for initiation of antiarrhythmic drug/s (AADs) and cardiac procedures which was impossible due to restrictions.We aimed evaluate the efficacy safety outpatient dofetilide in AF using implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) rhythm QTc interval monitoring.Adult prior failure or intolerance other...
