Abstract Aims In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF), strict regular rate control atrioventricular junction ablation biventricular pacemaker (Ablation + CRT) has been shown to be superior pharmacological in reducing HF hospitalizations. However, whether it also improves survival is unknown. Methods results this international, open-label, blinded outcome trial, we randomly assigned severely symptomatic permanent AF >6 months, narrow QRS (≤110 ms) at least one...
Background: Optimal timing for catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia is an important unresolved issue. There are no randomized trials evaluating the benefit after first implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock. Methods: We conducted a 2-phase, prospective, multicenter, clinical trial. Patients with ischemic or nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and primary secondary prevention indication ICD were enrolled in initial observational phase until appropriate shock (phase A)....
We tested the hypothesis that atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation in conjunction biventricular pacing [cardiac resynchronization (CRT)] is superior to pharmacological rate-control therapy reducing heart failure (HF) and hospitalization patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) narrow QRS. randomly assigned 102 (mean age 72 ± 10 years) severely symptomatic AF (>6 months), QRS (≤110 ms), at least one for HF previous year AV CRT (plus defibrillator according guidelines) or...
Abstract Background During the COVID‐19 pandemic in‐person visits for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices should be replaced by remote monitoring (RM), in order to prevent viral transmission. A direct home‐delivery service of RM communicator has been implemented at 49 Italian arrhythmia centers. Methods According individual patient preference or organizational decision center, were assigned group standard in‐clinic delivery group. In former case, received telephone training...
BackgroundMost successful and reproducible animal models of chronic heart failure (HF) include: increased peripheral resistance, rapid ventricular pacing, arteriovenous shunt, supravalvular stenosis, block, repetitive transmyocardial direct current (DC) shock. The main limitation all these approaches was the lack stability left (LV) dysfunction.
The optimal left ventricular pacing location for cardiac resynchronization therapy should be individualized according to the site of maximal mechanical delay. However, presence vein stenosis or kinking in coronary sinus (CS) anatomy could hamper lead implantation target vessel. We describe case a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and dual‐chamber pacemaker referred upgrading biventricular device owing New York Heart Association III heart failure symptoms. Tissue Doppler analysis before...
Deglutition syncope refers to an uncommon cause of neurally mediated induced by swallowing. We briefly review a case 66-year-old man who experienced recurrent episodes during ingestion beverages, mainly water. Our investigations documented several short asymptomatic asystole and one prolonged complete atrioventricular block around 15 seconds associated with the syncopal events, Barium x-ray manometry evaluations revealed only nonspecific esophageal dysmotility. An underlying sick-sinus...
Background: Pharmacological challenge with class I antiarrhythmic drug is a recommended diagnostic test in patients unexplained syncope only the presence of bundle branch block, when non-invasive tests have failed to make diagnosis. Its role minor or no conduction disturbances on 12-leads ECG has not been evaluated yet. It also clear which are values His-Ventricular interval be considered diagnostic. We sought evaluate ajmaline unmasking an infrahisian disease recurrent and syncope,...
