Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the electrophysiological substrate and outcomes AF ablation in patients with psoriasis are lacking. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study involving 48 (median age, 66 years [56-72]; 79% male) paroxysmal (n=25.52%) or persistent (n=23.48%) who underwent at 4 high-volume institutions between 2018 2023. Propensity score-matching identified 96 controls without undergoing same institutions. The...
Structured Abstract Background and Aims Electrical reconnections between pulmonary veins (PVs) the left atrium (LA) are frequently responsible for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrences after vein isolation (PVI). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)-derived images can be post-processed to detect intramyocardial fat (inFAT) by signal radiodensity thresholding. The role of inFAT on PV-LA remains unknown. aim this study was analyze relationship localization at pre-procedural MDCT-derived...
Abstract Background The figure-of-eight suture (Fo8) has emerged as an alternative to the standard manual compression (MC) technique for achieving venous hemostasis following catheter ablation. A three-way stopcock can be employed secure suture, allowing adjustable tension optimize hemostasis. tensionable-locked Fo8 (Fo8-TL) shown reduced access site complications compared MC and traditional Fo8, particularly in ablation procedures requiring periprocedural anticoagulation (1). Purpose This...
Abstract Background Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the electrophysiological substrate and outcomes AF ablation in patients with psoriasis are lacking. Methods We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study involving 48 (median age, 66 [56-72]years; 79% male) paroxysmal (n=25, 52%) or persistent (n=23, 48%) who underwent at four high-volume institutions between 2018 2023. Propensity score-matching identified 96 controls without...
Abstract Background Recently, we found that employing short-coupled atrial extrastimuli revealed highly fragmented or double evoked electrograms (EGMs) in fibrillation (AF) patients, termed as hidden slow conduction (HSC). HSC sites were more prevalent among patients with persistent AF and not consistently within areas of complex EGMs during AF. Importantly, identifying may provide insight into the early identification arrhythmogenic substrate, offering a potential target for ablation (1)....
Abstract Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias and high to develop pulmonary hypertension due infiltration the amyloid protein in wall. Though non-PV triggers are commonly seen left atrium, they also right side heart, so identifying them at time ablation is essential. Objective The study evaluates prevalence during catheter fibrillation (AF) patients affected by cardiac how restoration sinus rhythm affects pressures. Methods This...
The ADVANTAGE 2 prospective study showed in 156 patients with stents that dynamic stress CT perfusion improves diagnostic accuracy for the detection of territory-based ischemia beyond coronary angiography.
Lung infection named as COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). CT (computed tomography) has been shown to have good sensitivity in comparison with RT-PCR, particularly early stages. However, findings appear not always be related a certain clinical severity. The aim of this study evaluate correlation between percentage lung parenchyma volume involved (compared total volume) at baseline diagnosis and correlated patient's course...
Background: In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, bypass grafting (CABG) has shown long-term benefits over percutaneous intervention (PCI). Physiology-guided PCI to improve clinical outcomes in though its impact never been investigated. We evaluated of disease treated fractional flow reserve (FFR)–guided compared CABG. Methods: From 2010 2018, 4622 undergoing angiography were screened for inclusion. The inclusion criterion was the presence at least 2-vessel defined...
Graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been associated with competitive flow of native arteries.To assess computed tomography angiography (CCTA) graft and disease (CAD) progression vessels CABG their relationship angiography-derived vessel fractional reserve (vFFR) performed before surgery.Between 2006 2018, serial vFFR analyses were obtained in each major from two institutions. All patients underwent follow-up CCTA.In 171 consecutive patients, preoperative...
Abstract Introduction Peri-device leak is not uncommon after percutaneous occlusion of left atrial appendage using the Watchman device. Prior studies have reported clinical relevance small leaks (<5mm) as they were associated with a significant increase in ischemic events. Purpose We evaluated prevalence stroke patients post-watchman on half-dose non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (HD-NOAC) vs antiplatelet therapy (APT). Methods This consecutive series included cases that had residual...
