Remnant cholesterol (remnant-C) contributes to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), particularly in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. Patients metabolism and ASCVD remain at significant residual risk after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the role of remnant-C this population has not yet been investigated. Adult patients prediabetes or diabetes undergoing isolated CABG were consecutively enrolled a longitudinal cohort between 2013 2018. The impact on...
Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is recognized as a reliable indicator of acute during stress. Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are at high risk stress hyperglycemia, but little attention has been paid to this population. This study the first investigate association between SHR and both short-term long-term prognosis in CABG patients, with further exploration impact across different glucose metabolic states. A total 18,307 patients isolated were consecutively...
Abstract Aims Advanced atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently a dilemma for electrophysiologists when choosing minimally invasive treatment strategy. Previous studies have demonstrated the outcome of either catheter ablation or thoracoscopic surgical (SA) unsatisfactory in these patients. Whether hybrid (HA) could improve outcomes patients unknown. The purpose this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy HA advanced AF. Methods and results A randomized controlled trial designed enrol with...
Thoracoscopic epicardial ablation with a limited lesion set led to suboptimal results for advanced paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) or persistent AF. Whether additional right lesions improve the result is unclear.We conducted retrospective study involving 80 consecutive patients AF, left (LA) dilation (LA diameter >40 mm) and failed prior interventional (40 patients, 50%) who underwent thoracoscopic box (36 patients) bi-atrial (BA) (44 in our institution. Freedom from tachyarrhythmias...
Abstract OBJECTIVES The short-term results of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical ablation (VTSA) with box lesion have been highly variable, and the actual efficacy requires clarification through longer follow-ups. We aimed to report which patients might benefit more from VTSA by follow-up. METHODS From September 2010 November 2016, atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent were screened. All enrolled visited outpatient clinic 24-h Holter monitoring at 3, 6 12 months after surgery annually...
Introduction The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing globally, and stroke prevention the key to reduce morbidity mortality related AF. Currently, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are primary options for prevention, while it increases risk bleeding. Left appendage (LAA) suspected as a vital source cerebral emboli may lead ischaemic stroke, thoracoscopic LAA clipping procedure provides an alternative option in high-risk patients. However, high-quality evidence comparing...
Abstract OBJECTIVES To investigate the predictive values of surface electrocardiogram-derived parameters in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent thoracoscopic epicardial ablation. METHODS The present study included 102 ablation and whose baseline 12-lead electrocardiograms were available. Frequency domain analysis was performed to calculate parameters. Cox proportional hazards regression used identify risk factors for postoperative recurrence. RESULTS At 36-month interval, overall...
The necessity of complete bi-atrial lesion created by radiofrequency clamp and pen for nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD) remains unclear.From January 2014 to December 2018, RMVD concomitant AF who underwent surgery surgical ablation were retrospectively enrolled. We divided into Group A (complete set pen) B (simplified sets alone including incomplete isthmus line stand-alone left ablation) according the sets. Propensity score...
Background. Limited randomized controlled studies showed that thoracoscopic surgical left atrial ablation was not superior to catheter (CA) in patients with persistent fibrillation (PerAF). Right atrium might play an important role triggering and maintaining (AF) PerAF. This study aimed compare the efficacy of biatrial versus CA Methods. Patients PerAF underwent or were included this study. Propensity score matching (1 : 2) applied select group (SA) group. The primary endpoint probability...
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD) and increase the risk of stroke death. Bi-atrial or left atrial ablation remains controversial for treatment AF during surgery. The study aims to compare efficacy safety bi-atrial those among RMVD persistent long-standing AF. Methods analysis ABLATION trial (Bi-atrial vs Left Ablation Patients Non-paroxysmal AF) a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled study. will randomly assign...
