Patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) addressed according the new classification in torrential TR may have different prognosis compared just severe patients. We sought to determine distribution and mechanism of consecutive patients, accordance aetiology severity by applying proposed scheme their long-term outcomes.Between January December 2013, 249 patients referred cardiac imaging unit (mean age 79.9 ± 10.2 years; 29.8% female) were included. divided six groups, was...

Background Acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) patients are increasingly older. Conventional prognostic scales include chronological age but do not consider vulnerability. In elderly patients, a frail phenotype represents better reflection of biological age. Hypothesis: This study aims to determine the prevalence frailty and its influence on ≥75 years with ACS. Methods Patients admitted due type 1 myocardial infarction were included in 2 tertiary hospitals, clinical data collected prospectively....

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Myocardial infarction (MI) patients are increasingly older, and common risk scores include chronological age, but do not consider chronic comorbidity or biological age. Frailty status reflects these variables may be independently correlated with prognosis in this setting. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study investigated the impact of frailty on elderly admitted due to MI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...

Abstract Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) worsens the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). Successful treatments are still very scarce for those permanent AF and preserved (HFpEF) or mildly reduced (HFmrEF) ejection fraction. In this study, long‐term benefits safety profile rate regularization through left‐bundle branch pacing (LBBP) atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA) will be explored in comparison pharmacological rate‐control strategy. Methods results The PACE‐FIB trial is a...

Subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of progression to clinical AF, stroke, and cardiovascular death. We hypothesized that in pacemaker patients requiring dual-chamber rate-adaptive (DDDR) pacing, closed loop stimulation (CLS) integrated into the circulatory control system through intra-cardiac impedance monitoring would reduce occurrence high-rate episodes (AHREs) compared conventional DDDR pacing.

Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB-PVI) offers similar efficacy to point-by-point radiofrequency PVI for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but generally higher X-ray exposure. Strategies aimed at reducing fluoroscopy mostly rely on other costly imaging techniques, limiting their applicability. We designed a Systematic Workflow and Electrogram guidance reduce Exposure Time during CB-PVI (SWEET-Cryo) strategy analysed its impact use acute procedural clinical outcomes.We enrolled...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a rising technique that aims to preserve physiologic activation the left ventricle. However, capture (LBBC) not always achieved despite good progression lead into interventricular septum, leading what has been called deep septal (DSP). In latter, conduction system captured, whose consequences on systolic function are well known. The goal present work evaluate repercussion...

Compatibility of DiamondTemp (DT) radiofrequency (RF) catheter with the Rhythmia mapping system has not been manufacturer-reported nor its tracking accuracy reported.Consecutive patients undergoing macroreentrant atrial tachycardia ablation guided by and ablated using DT were prospectively enrolled. Following configuration, lines performed remapped to measure RF tag effective-ablation-line-center (RFT-ALC) distance.Among 20 consecutive (54 maps), 40 evaluated. Overall, RFT-ALC distance was...
