Catheter ablation is less successful for persistent atrial fibrillation than paroxysmal fibrillation. Guidelines suggest that adjuvant substrate modification in addition to pulmonary-vein isolation required fibrillation.We randomly assigned 589 patients with a 1:4:4 ratio alone (67 patients), plus of electrograms showing complex fractionated activity (263 or additional linear across the left roof and mitral valve isthmus (259 patients). The duration follow-up was 18 months. primary end point...
Background: This multicenter, prospective study evaluated the determinants of zero-fluoroscopy (ZFL) ablation supraventricular tachycardias. Methods and Results: Four hundred thirty patients (215 male, 55.4±22.1 years) with indication to electrophysiological or tachycardias were enrolled. All participating physicians agreed follow as low reasonably achievable policy. A procedure was defined ZFL when no fluoroscopy used. The total time inversely correlated number procedures previously...
<h3>Importance</h3> Catheter ablation is effective in reducing atrial fibrillation (AF), but the association of for AF with quality life unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate whether procedural outcome associated (QOL) measures. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This was a prespecified secondary analysis Substrate Trigger Ablation Reduction Atrial Fibrillation–Part II (STAR II) prospective randomized clinical trial, which compared 3 strategies persistent AF. included 549 589...
BACKGROUND: The safety of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) recipients who lead active lifestyles and engage in recreational sports is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association between lifestyle occurrence arrhythmia- device-related complications, appropriate inappropriate shocks S-ICD recipients. METHODS: assessed a cohort young-adult (15–65 years) patients, evaluated their physical activity with IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), on shocks....
The longevity of defibrillators (ICD) is extremely important from both a clinical and economic perspective. We studied the reasons for device replacement, removed ICD, existence possible factors associated with shorter service life.Consecutive patients who underwent ICD replacement March 2013 to May 2015 in 36 Italian centers were included this analysis. Data on replaced devices collected. A total 953 In 813 (85%) reason was battery depletion, while 88 (9%) remaining 52 because system...
The benefit of prolonged implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) following device replacement is hindered by clinical and procedure-related adverse events (AEs). Adverse rate highest in more complex devices at upgrades, as per the REPLACE registry experience, but changing owing to improvement technology medical care. We aimed understanding extent type AEs a contemporary Italian population.Detect long-term complications after ICD...
Patients at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) after myocardial infarction (MI) can be offered therapy with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Whether plasma biomarkers help stratify for SCD and ventricular arrhythmias (VT/VF) is unclear. The primary objective the CAMI-GUIDE study to assess predictive role C-reactive protein or VT/VF in ischaemic patients ejection fraction <30% ICDs. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality, hospitalizations, from heart failure....
Aims Some barriers seem to exist in changing implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) manufacturer at the time of device replacement. We sought understand obstacles ICD within cohort patients enrolled Detect Long-term Complications After Replacement Registry. Methods analyzed 784 consecutive ICD/cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) replacements a 1.5-year time-frame 36 Italian centers evaluate potential factors associated with manufacturers and system-related complications. Results...
Since 2015 most patients implanted with cardiac devices (implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), implantable loop recorders (ILRs), pacemakers (PMs)) at Santa Croce e Carle Hospital (Cuneo, Italy) are remotely followed home monitoring systems free of charge. From 2017 the outpatient follow-up service has been systematically organized mainly for peculiar geographical features (typically mountainous, vast and few roads) territory served by our hospital, making difficult access to...
Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces morbidity and mortality reverses left ventricular (LV) remodeling in heart failure patients with LV electrical dyssynchrony, induced proarrhythmia has been reported. The mechanism of CRT-induced remains under debate. In this case report, a description how pacing polymorphic tachycardia immediately after the initiation CRT Changing configuration using multipoint stimulation, we can assume that VTs are related to reentry facilitated by...
