Natural language processing chatbots (NLPC) can be used to gather information for medical content. However, these tools contain a potential risk of misinformation. This study aims evaluate different aspects responses given by NLPCs on questions about atrial fibrillation (AF) and clinical implantable electronic devices (CIED).
Abstract Background The QRS axis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is often considered in clinical practice, but its determination frequently limited to a rough estimation, such as “normal”, with left or right deviation, and superior inferior case premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). However, more exact may be warranted certain scenarios, determine origin PVCs precisely, attainable by visual estimation using hexaxial reference system. Objectives aim this study was how well an would correlate...

Background Ventricular arrhythmias are a leading cause morbidity and mortality in patients with structural heart disease. Non-invasive stereotactic single-fraction arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) 25 Gy has been proposed as bail-out strategy where catheter-based ablation either not feasible or previously failed to control arrhythmia....
Abstract Introduction Mobile ECGs using handy smartphone-based devices such as the KardiaMobile (AliveCor) are increasingly used diagnostic tool for arrhythmias. They can be especially useful in cases of non-permanent arrhythmia. However, they were designed to record limb leads and few experience exists with recording modified chest leads. However provide important information many forms arrhythmias including premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). We hypothesized that lead recordings...
Abstract Introduction Female doctors are underrepresented in invasive electrophysiology (EP) for multiple reasons. Despite an increasing focus on the topic, it is unclear what aspects predominant and how they should be adressed to support women EP. Methods We conducted a survey career paths of current or former EP fellows Germany elucidate gender family affected their careers. The consisted 11 questions work status, 20 status before parenthood impact children 7 pregnancy. 231 (24% female)...

Abstract Aims Baroreceptor activation therapy (BAT) is a promising new treatment strategy for patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It provides symptomatic relief, improvement in left ventricular function and reduction of cardiac biomarkers. Data regarding the long‐term effect BAT on HFrEF are scarce. This retrospective, monocentric study aimed to assess outcome who underwent BAT. Methods Patients received at Hannover Medical School between 2014 2023 were followed...
Abstract Introduction Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a major public health concern substantial morbidity and mortality. Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system key pathophysiological process driving heart progression. Baroreceptor activation therapy (BAT) targets this autonomic imbalance promising treatment strategy for patients HFrEF. Current short-term studies indicate that BAT provides symptomatic relief, improvement in left ventricular function cardiac...
Bundle branch reentrant tachycardia (BBRT) is a form of macroreentrant encompassing both the left and right bundle branches. It usually occurs in context dilated cardiomyopathy, previous valve surgery, or other cardiac conditions that affect His-Purkinje system. The baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) sinus rhythm generally shows block (LBBB) (RBBB). This case very unusual presentation BBRT patient with subclinical ventricular noncompaction bicuspid aortic valve.
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Catheter ablation is the first line treatment for idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) from right outflow tract (RVOT) but not left (LVOT). However, differentiating two using twelve-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) challenging. As an alternative strategy to guide clinical decision-making, we sought find ECG criteria that predict outcome catheter directly rather than focus only. Methods This...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Catheter ablation is the first line treatment for idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) from right outflow tract (RVOT) but not left (LVOT), due to presumed lower success and higher complication rates in LVOT. In this observational single center study we analyzed patients undergoing catheter PVCs with an inferior axis. Methods Patients axis at Hannover Heart Rhythm Center between 2012 2020 were...
