Abstract Aims Advanced ablation strategies are needed to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature complexes (PVC) refractory standard unipolar radiofrequency (Uni-RFA). Bipolar catheter (Bi-RFA) has emerged as a treatment option for VT PVC. Multicentre registry data on the use of Bi-RFA in setting PVC lacking. The aim this is determine its real-world safety, feasibility, efficacy patients with VT/PVC. Methods results Consecutive undergoing at 16 European centres recurring VT/PVC...
The aim of the study was to evaluate incidence ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality in patients with retinal artery occlusion (RAO). This single-center retrospective included 139 diagnosed RAO between 2009 2020. control group age- sex-matched without who underwent cataract surgery. year surgery corresponded onset. During 12-year follow-up, had a shorter time death (49.95 vs. 15.74 months; p = 0.043), higher rate (log-rank 0.026, composite endpoint, including...
The velocity of left atrium appendage (LAA) wall motion during atrial fibrillation (AF) is a potential marker mechanical remodelling. In this study, we investigated whether the LAA AF predicted success electrical cardioversion and long-term sinus rhythm maintenance. Standard echocardiographic data were obtained by transthoracic echocardiography, velocities measured transoesophageal echocardiography. With logistic regression receiver operating characteristic curve analyses, related clinical...
Purpose: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, but whether different RAO subtypes central retinal (CRAO) or branch (BRAO) carry similar these unclear. Our aim was to determine the differs between CRAO BRAO. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 131 patients hospitalized in our clinic 2010–2020 BRAO confirmed by ophthalmic examination. Data on demographics, previous...
Galectin-3 (gal-3) is a fibrosis marker and may play role in of the left atrium (LA). Left atrial wall influence transition from paroxysmal to non-paroxysmal fibrillation (AF). In this study, we assessed correlation gal-3 concentration with main echocardio-graphic parameters evaluating dimensions, volume, compliance, contractility during AF after successful electrical cardioversion (DCCV). The study included 63 patients enlargement who qualified for DCCV due persistent AF. procedure...
Background: The aim of this study was to assess whether echocardiographic measurements left atrial (LA) morphology and function could predict sinus rhythm maintenance after electrical cardioversion among patients with fibrillation (AF) normal or mild dysfunction the ventricle (LV). Methods: One hundred seventeen persistent AF who underwent successful were prospectively enrolled. Echocardiography performed one day subsequent cardioversion. Patients followed up clinically...
Soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2) and galectin-3 are involved in cardiac fibrosis, inflammation, remodelling. However, the place sST2 predicting outcomes electrical cardioversion atrial fibrillation (AF) is uncertain. We evaluated whether these biomarkers could predict sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance after persistent AF patients with normal left ventricular systolic function.The study included 80 AF, who underwent from February 2016 to August 2018. The blood concentrations sST-2...
Echocardiography is the basic imaging technique used to determine odds of maintaining sinus rhythm (SR) following direct current cardioversion (DCCV) for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, most studies are focused on echocardiographic parameters obtained during SR resulting from successful DCCV. The aim this study was assess value measured before DCCV prognosis maintenance after included 146 patients with AF who underwent Clinical and data were collected directly and, SR, one...
Background: In the recent years, antithrombotic prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has changed significantly. The main aim of this study is to assess temporal trends therapy and identify factors predisposing oral anticoagulant (OAC) use stroke prevention AF patients. Methods: present a retrospective, observational, single-center study, which includes consecutively hospitalized reference cardiology center from January 2004 December 2019. Results: A total 9656 (43.7% female,...
Abstract Patients aged ≥75 years with the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) are at a higher risk stroke and, according to recent recommendations, should receive oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy. This study aimed assess recommended prophylactic antithrombotic therapy among patients AF ≥ 75 and its compliance current guidelines. We also identify predisposing factors associated administration non-vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants (NOACs) in elderly AF. was retrospective, single-center...
Abstract Direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is one of the basic methods for restoring sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Left (LA) strain parameters used to assess risk AF recurrence following DCCV. Assessing also allows detection segmental disorders LA wall contractility, including dispersion or dyskinesia. In present study, we determined predictive value dyskinesia assessing after We performed a comprehensive echocardiography 89 persistent successful assessed and...

Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmic and systemic emergency requiring urgent diagnosis treatment. Data regarding mortality in this group, especially the European population, are modest. The aim of study to assess all-cause post-RAO patients.This a retrospective, single-centre involving 198 patients following RAO diagnosed 2004-2020. control group included after cataract surgery matched for gender age, with date corresponding RAO.The average follow-up population was 6.32±2.15...
Haemodialysis (HD) is currently the most commonly used method of renal replacement therapy. The process dialysis involves numerous changes that affect many systems, including eye. occurring in course HD may ocular parameters, such as intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, retinal nerve fibre layer and choroidal thickness (CT). choroid, being one vascularized tissues, characterized by highest ratio blood flow to tissue volume entire body, be particularly susceptible during HD, at...
There are several sex-related differences in the course, management, and outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to identify risk factors that may affect odds procedure-related death patients with STEMI. The observational cohort group consisted 118,601 participants recruited from National Registry Invasive Cardiology Procedures (ORPKI). Procedure-related occurred 802 (1.0%) men 663 (1.7%) women. among women were significantly higher than (OR, 1.76; 95% CI,...
Oral anticoagulants (OAC) are recommended in all patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after thromboembolic events without contraindications. It is hypothesized herein, that the majority of AF receive OAC and presence specific factors, predisposes use non-vitamin K antagonist oral (NOACs).

Background: The aim of the study was to assess influence a single haemodialysis (HD) session on retinal and optic nerve morphology in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. Methods: It is prospective including only right eye 35 chronic (CKD) patients subjected HD. Each patient underwent full examination 30 min before HD (8 a.m.) 15 after Optical coherence tomography (OCT) used peripapillary fibre layer (pRNFL) thickness, macular (mRNFL) ganglion cell with inner plexiform thickness (GCL+),...

Current guidelines recommend electrical cardioversion (ECV) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after at least 3 weeks of adequate non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) treatment without prior transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). However, clinical practice some centres, TEE is performed before ECV AF. The aim the study was to evaluate prevalence thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications AF treated NOACs undergoing TEE.This observational, multicentre included...
