Despite improvements in the management of atrial fibrillation, patients with this condition remain at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. It is unclear whether early rhythm-control therapy can reduce risk.

Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATa) can recur after continuous circular lesions (CCLs) around the ipsilateral pulmonary veins (PVs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study characterizes electrophysiological findings and without ATa complete PV isolation.Twenty-nine of 100 had recurrent isolation by use CCLs during a mean follow-up approximately 8 months. A repeat procedure was performed 26 7 volunteers at 3 to 4 months CCLs. No recovered conduction demonstrated volunteers, whereas...
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) can be eliminated with continuous circular lesions (CCLs) around the pulmonary veins (PVs), but it is unclear whether all PVs are completely isolated.Forty-one patients symptomatic PAF underwent 3D mapping, and PV ostia were marked on map based venography. Irrigated radiofrequency energy was applied at a distance from guided by 2 Lasso catheters placed within ipsilateral superior inferior PVs. The mean duration 1550+/-511 seconds for left-sided 1512+/-506...
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Atlas has been compiled by the Heart Agency to document cardiovascular disease (CVD) statistics 56 ESC member countries. A major aim this 2017 data presentation compare high-income and middle-income countries identify inequalities in burden, outcomes, service provision. utilizes a variety sources, including World Health Organization, Institute for Metrics Evaluation, Bank risk factors, prevalence, mortality national economic indicators. It also...
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) naturally progresses toward chronic AF at an estimated rate of 15% to 30% over a 1- 3-year period. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is increasingly performed for the treatment drug-refractory paroxysmal AF. The long-term data on clinical outcome after circumferential PV are limited.From 2003 late 2004, 161 patients (121 men; age, 59.8±9.7 years) with symptomatic and normal left ventricular function underwent guided by 3-dimensional mapping double Lasso...
Background— The use of the Endeavor stent might reduce restenosis and thrombosis at 9 months. Methods Results— Patients (n=1197) treated for single coronary artery stenosis were enrolled in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study randomly assigned to receive zotarolimus-eluting phosphorylcholine polymer–coated (n=598) or same bare metal but without drug polymer coating (n=599). 2 groups well matched baseline characteristics. Diabetes was present 20.1% patients; mean reference vessel...
Pulmonary vein isolation is the most prevalent approach for catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Long-term success procedure diminished by arrhythmia recurrences occurring predominantly because reconnections in previously isolated pulmonary veins. The aim EFFICAS I multicenter study was to demonstrate correlation between contact force (CF) parameters during initial and incidence gaps (gap) at 3-month follow-up.A radiofrequency with integrated CF sensor (TactiCath, Endosense,...
Background— Current methods for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) have limited diagnostic yield. Continuous monitoring with automatic arrhythmia detection and classification may improve of symptomatic asymptomatic AF subsequent patient treatment. The study purpose was to quantify the performance first implantable leadless cardiac monitor (ICM) dedicated capabilities. Methods Results— Patients (n=247) an implanted ICM (Reveal XT, Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) who were likely present...
The European Lead Extraction ConTRolled Registry (ELECTRa), is a prospective registry of consecutive transvenous lead extraction (TLE) procedures conducted by the Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) in order to identify safety and efficacy current practice TLE.European centres performing TLE, invited organizing committee on behalf EHRA, prospectively recruited all patients undergoing TLE at their institution. primary endpoint was defined pre-discharge major procedure-related complications...
Abstract Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality come in a variety forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained tachycardia fibrillation. Rapid developments have taken place over the past decade our understanding these ability diagnose treat them. The field catheter ablation has progressed with development new methods tools, publication large clinical trials. Therefore, global cardiac electrophysiology professional societies undertook...
The purpose of this Consensus Statement is to provide a state-of-the-art review the field catheter ablation ventricular tachycardia (VT), and report findings Task Force, convened by European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Society (HRS) that was charged with defining indications, techniques, outcomes procedure. This statement summarizes opinion Force members based on their own experience in treating patients, as well literature. It directed all healthcare professionals who treat patients are...

A challenge of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is electrical reconnection the PV. EFFICAS I showed correlation between contact force (CF) parameters and PV durable but no prospective evaluation was made. II a multicentre study to prospectively assess impact CF guidance an effective reduction PVI gaps. Pulmonary using radiofrequency (RF) with integrated sensor (TactiCath™) performed patients PAF. Operators were provided I-based...
Aortic stenosis is a frequent valvular disease especially in elderly patients. Catheter-based valve implantation has emerged as valuable treatment approach for these patients being either at very high risk conventional surgery or even deemed inoperable. The German Valve Registry (GARY) provides data on and catheter-based aortic procedures an all-comers basis.
