Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after cardiac surgery, but little known about its incidence and natural course noncardiac surgery. We evaluated the clinical impact of POAF long-term anticoagulation therapy in patients without a history (AF) undergoing Methods Results retrospectively analyzed database Asan Medical Center (Seoul, Korea) to identify who developed new-onset surgery between January 2006 2016. The main outcomes were AF recurrence, thromboembolic...
There are various types of adverse reactions to antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). Proarrhythmia, which refers an exacerbation the preexisting arrhythmia or occurrence a new arrhythmia, may occur under therapeutic concentration AAD. Bradyarrhythmia is most common type proarrhythmia due AADs, and prior myocardial infarction old age known risk factors. Atrial flutter with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction usually occurs during rhythm control atrial fibrillation class IC AADs. QT prolongation mainly...
Background and objectives Data regarding the safety of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using high-power (50 W) radiofrequency (RF) energy in Asian populations are limited. This study was conducted to evaluate incidence pattern esophageal injury after AF an cohort. Methods We searched prospective registry identify patients who underwent with 50 W RF smart touch surround flow catheter (Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA). Visitag™ Webster) used for lesion annotation predefined settings...
BackgroundRecent data suggest that serum biomarkers may predict worse outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We examined the association and predictive value of preprocedural levels C-reactive protein (CRP) with clinical after TAVR.MethodsWe evaluated 243 who had undergone successful TAVR a valid measurement baseline CRP level between March 2010 February 2017. The primary endpoint was composite death from any cause or disabling stroke at 12...
Background Severe conduction delay and inter/intra-atrial dissociation may occur in patients who undergo an extensive catheter ablation or a maze procedure for atrial tachyarrhythmia. We report series of with that mimicked complete atrioventricular block ventricular tachycardia. Methods Results retrospectively reviewed the medical records 7 were referred evaluation (patients 1-6) tachycardia (patient 7) occurred after biatrial valvular surgery. During electrophysiologic study, slow...
Abstract The authors developed and validated a diagnostic algorithm using the optimal upper lower cut‐off values of office home BP at which ambulatory measurements need to be applied. Patients presenting with high (≥140/90 mm Hg) outpatient clinic were referred measure office, home, BP. Office divided into hypertension, intermediate (requiring diagnosis BP), normotension zones. levels zone determined corresponding level 95% specificity sensitivity for detecting daytime hypertension by...
Abstract Background An automated tagging module (VISITAG™; Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA) allows objective demonstration of energy delivery. However, the effect VISITAG™ on clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study evaluated (1) outcome after AF ablation using and (2) prevalence gaps in line. Methods retrospective analysis included 157 consecutive patients (mean age, 56.7 years; 73.2% men) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who underwent successful PVI between 2013 2016. Outcomes index...
Abstract Background The clinical implications of pericardial effusion (PE) after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) are not well understood. We evaluated the association between newly developed PE pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) paroxysmal AF and arrhythmic recurrence. Methods From a prospective registry, 184 patients (mean age 59 ± 10 years, 65% male) who underwent first‐time PV using smart touch surround flow (Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA) were analyzed. Postablation...
