Background: Structural heart disease, including valvular disease as well congenital defects, causes important alterations in anatomy. As a result, individualised planning for both surgical and percutaneous procedures is crucial procedural optimisation. Three dimensional (3D) rapid prototyping techniques are being utilised to aid operators structuralheart procedures. Aim: We intend provide description of 3D printing clinically applicable modelling technology the structural report our first...
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is known to contribute a poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Current guidelines do not recommend cardiac surgery FMR and impaired ejection fraction due the high procedural risk. Percutaneous techniques aimed at valve repair may constitute an alternative currently used routine medical treatment.To provide description of novel percutaneous suture-based technique direct annuloplasty using Mitralign Bident system, as well report our first...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Thus, aim of our study was to evaluate smartphone-based electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings aimed at AF screening Polish pharmacies. Methods: Prospective among patients aged ≥65 years conducted 10 pharmacies using Kardia Mobile with a dedicated application (Kardia app). Prior exclusion criterion. CHA 2 DS -VASc score (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke/transient ischemic...
ICD implantation is standard therapy for malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The advantage of dual and single coil defibrillator leads in the successful conversion arrhythmias unclear. This study compared effectiveness versus defibrillation leads. was a prospective, multicenter, randomized comparing with system as part an using active pectoral electrode. Seventy‐six patients (64 men, 12 women; age 61 ± 11 years ) were implanted (group 1, n = 38) or lead 2, 38 ). represented typical cohort:...
Carillon annuloplasty reduces functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and induces left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling. This analysis determined whether the change in MR parameters correlated with extent of LV remodeling after annuloplasty. retrospective pooled included prospectively collected data 113 consecutive patients undergoing successful complete 1-year echocardiographic follow-up. Patients had grade 2+ to 4+ FMR, end-diastolic diameter >5.5 cm, ejection fraction <50%. At 1 year,...
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a frequent cause of death in the developed world. Early defibrillation, preferably within first minutes incident, significantly increases survival rates. Accessible automated external defibrillators (AED) public areas have been promoted for many years, and several locations are equipped with these devices.The aim study was to assess real-life availability AEDs possible sources delay.The took place academic towns Poznan, Lodz, Warsaw, Poland. The researchers who...
Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS) is a multisystem disorder caused by dysfunction of the oxidative phosphorylation system within mitochondria. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) rearrangements are key molecular feature this disease, which manifest broad phenotypic spectrum. Here, we present boy with KSS whose symptoms included cardiac conduction deficit, cardiomyopathy and growth hormone (GH) deficiency. The patient showed typical for from early childhood (chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia,...
Conduction system pacing is the most physiological mode of ventricular stimulation [1].The
Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation is effective in treatment of ventricular tachycardia originating from thick interventricular septum. The RF generator and CARTO system can be used to precisely safely perform ablation. Standard catheter with indifferent electrode connected the receptacle custom-made cable.
AimsInferior vena cava (IVC) interruption is a rare anatomic variant where the azygos vein (AV) drains blood from IVC to upper part of right atrium via superior cava. Here, we report balloon cryoablation pulmonary veins (PVs) access in patient with atrial fibrillation.
We present a case of 45-year-old man with symptomatic heart failure and ischaemic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), who underwent successful percutaneous trans-coronary venous annuloplasty the Carillon system. The procedure resulted in clinical improvement as well decrease degree MR assessed by echocardiography. Fifteen months later, patient cardiac resynchronisation (CRT) device implantation, resulting further echocardiographic measures FMR. This not only confirms feasibility CRT after...
Remote monitoring (RM) of cardiac implantable electronic devices for adults offers improved treatment efficacy and, consequently, better patient clinical outcomes. There is scant data on the value and prognosis RM in pediatric population.
Abstract Background Due to limited data, implantable loop recorders (ILR) are not currently recommended by the guidelines routinely monitor patients after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Aims To validate diagnostic value of ILR AF ablation, modern generation ILRs (LINQ) were implanted in scheduled for cryoballoon ablation (CBA). Methods We included 29 with frequent and symptomatic episodes paroxysmal AF. was 3 months prior CBA, data collected before 6 procedure. The device programmed...
The ablation of arrhythmias progresses towards an approach based upon application linear lesions between nonconducting anatomic/electrical areas. Hence the identification detailed anatomy together with electrical behavior becomes increasingly important. This study aims to achieve true electroanatomic mapping by use three-dimensional intracardiac imaging right atrium combined a atrial basket obtain information. We studied nine patients, seven requiring flutter ablation. A 9 Fr, MHZ echo...
