Catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation, which delivers microsecond high-voltage electrical fields, may limit damage to tissues outside the myocardium. The efficacy and safety of pulsed ablation as compared with conventional thermal are not known.

Abstract Aims When it occurs, pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is associated with significant morbidity. Even mild-to-moderate PV narrowing may have long-term implications. Unlike thermal energies, such as radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermy, pulsed field (PFA) a non-thermal modality less fibrotic proliferation. Herein, we compared the effects of PFA vs. on AF ablation. Methods and results ADVENT was multi-centre, randomized, single-blind study comparing...

The ADVENT randomized trial revealed no significant difference in 1-year freedom from atrial arrhythmias (AA) between thermal (radiofrequency/cryoballoon) and pulsed field ablation (PFA). However, recent studies indicate that the postablation AA burden is a better predictor of clinical outcomes than dichotomous endpoint 30-second recurrence. goal this study was to determine: 1) impact on outcomes; 2) effect modality burden. In ADVENT, symptomatic drug-refractory patients with paroxysmal...

Background— α-Linolenic acid, an intermediate-chain n-3 fatty acid found primarily in plants, may decrease the risk of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) through a reduction ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Methods Results— We prospectively examined association between dietary intake α-linolenic assessed via updated food-frequency questionnaires SCD, other CHD, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) among 76 763 women participating Nurses’ Health Study who were free from...

PURPOSE Young Ashkenazi Jewish women or those from high-risk families who test positive for BRCA1 BRCA2 mutant genes have a significant risk of developing breast ovarian cancer by the age 70 years. Many question whether they should prophylactic surgical procedures, ie, bilateral mastectomy and/or oophorectomy. METHODS A Markov model was developed to determine survival, quality life, and cost-effectiveness procedures. The probabilities were based on literature review among with gene mortality...

Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who develop cardiac injury are reported to experience higher rates of malignant arrhythmias. However, little is known about these arrhythmias-their frequency, the underlying mechanisms, and their impact on mortality.

Background —The CABG Patch trial compared prophylactic implantable cardiac-defibrillator (ICD) implantation with no antiarrhythmic therapy in coronary bypass surgery patients who had a left ventricular ejection fraction <0.36 and an abnormal signal-averaged ECG. There were 102 deaths among the 446 ICD group 96 454 control patients, hazard ratio of 1.07 ( P =0.63).
