Limited data exist on pulsed-field ablation (PFA) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) undergoing left posterior wall isolation (LAPWI).
BACKGROUND: In the early stages of COVID-19 pneumonia, hypoxemia has been described in absence dyspnea ("silent" or "happy" hypoxemia). Our aim was to report its prevalence and outcome a series hypoxemic patients upon Emergency Department admission.METHODS: this retrospective observational cohort study we enrolled population consisting 213 with PaO2/FiO2 ratio <300 mmHg at hospital admission. Two groups (silent dyspneic hypoxemia) were defined. Symptoms, blood gas analysis, chest X-ray (CXR)...
Abstract Aims Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal ablative approach in which cardiomyocyte death obtained through irreversible electroporation (IRE). Data correlating the biophysical characteristics of IRE and lesion are limited. The aim this study was to assess effect different procedural parameters [voltage, number cycles (NoCs), contact] on vegetal animal model for IRE. Methods results Two hundred four Russet potatoes were used. lesions delivered 3 cm cored potato specimens using...
The feasibility and effectiveness of virtual visits (VVs) for cardiac electrophysiology patients are still unknown. We aimed to assess the VVs as compared in-person visits, describe patient experience with care in clinical electrophysiology. prospectively enrolled scheduled receive a evaluation, dividing them two groups: VV group an visit group. Outcomes interest were: (1) improvement symptoms after index visit, (2) disappearance remote monitoring (RM) alerts at follow-up, (3) necessity...
BackgroundEpidemiological evidence suggests that anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of statins may reduce the risk infections infection-related complications.ObjectiveWe aimed to assess impact prior statin use on coronavirus disease (COVID-19) severity mortality.MethodsIn this observational multicenter study, consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19 were enrolled. In-hospital mortality assessed with National Early Warning Score (NEWS) deemed primary secondary outcomes,...
BackgroundSince the body of evidence addressing coagulation derangements caused by Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been constantly growing, we investigated whether pre-hospitalization oral anticoagulation (OAC) or in-hospital heparin treatment could have a protective role among COVID-19 patients.MethodIn this cohort study, consecutive patients admitted to four different Italian Institutions were enrolled. Baseline demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics, as...
Abstract
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with myocardial involvement. Among cardiovascular manifestations, cardiac arrhythmias seem to be fairly common, although no specifics are reported in the literature. An increased risk of malignant ventricular and electrical storm (ES) considered. Case summary We describe a 68-year-old patient previous history coronary artery severe left systolic disfunction, who presented our emergency department describing cough,...
Abstract Aims Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel, myocardial-selective, non-thermal modality used to target cardiac arrhythmias. Although prompt electrogram (EGM) signal disappearance observed immediately after PFA application in the pulmonary veins, whether this finding results adequate transmural lesions unknown. The aim of study check repetition and catheter–tissue contact impact lesion formation during PFA. Methods A circular loop catheter was deliver repeated energy applications...
Although studies assessing cardiovascular comorbidities and myocardial injury in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have been published, no reports focused on clinical outcomes of with without chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) are currently available.In this study, consecutive COVID-19 admitted to four different institutions were screened for enrolment. Patients divided into two groups (CCS vs. no-CCS). Association in-hospital mortality related predictors represented the main study...
Abstract Aims The recent coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19) pandemic outbreak forced the adoption of restraint measures, which modified hospital admission patterns for several diseases. aim study is to investigate rate admissions heart failure (HF) during early days COVID‐19 in Italy, compared with a corresponding period previous year and an earlier same year. Methods results We performed retrospective analysis on HF number at eight hospitals Italy throughout (21 February 31 March 2020),...
Balloon-based technologies have been developed to simplify catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), improve the clinical outcome procedure and achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The objective this study is evaluate safety efficacy second-generation laser balloon (LB2) in treatment AF using a continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring strategy. Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATas) recurrences were assessed with implantable monitors (ICMs) or devices.All patients underwent LB2...
Cryoballoon (CB) and laser-balloon (LB) catheter ablation (CA) has been demonstrated to achieve durable effective pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Only one head-to-head comparison with an intermittent rhythm monitor strategy is currently available. The aim of this study was compare acute long-term outcomes CB LB atrial fibrillation procedures, by using a continuous monitoring strategy.This prospective two-arm nonrandomized propensity-matched observational trial that compared the (AF)...
