An early catheter ablation treatment strategy is effective for rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In clinical practice, most undergo as a second-line treatment, following trial of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety AF performed first-line vs approach, based on data from nationwide, multicentre Israeli Catheter Ablation Registry. Following ablation, were stratified into 2 groups-first-line therapy approaches. The group...
Depression commonly accompanies acute coronary syndrome (ACS), impacting up to 30% of patients and correlating with adverse outcomes. Our study aimed assess the accuracy clinical impression compared PHQ9 questionnaire for evaluating depression in ACS admitted cardiac intensive care unit. Screening was conducted at least 48 hours from hospital admission 24 following angiography PCI. The assessment performed separately a blinded manner by attending medical team questionnaire. comprised 150...
Background: Patients presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are often admitted to medical wards. We aimed evaluate the impact of admitting department on long-term outcomes. Methods: a large tertiary center were categorized according admission ward, either intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) or internal medicine (IMD). compared major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), composite all-cause death, recurrent (MI), and revascularization, along individual components...
Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease, associated with poor outcomes if left untreated. Current guidelines recommend that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures be performed in hospitals an on-site cardiac surgery unit due to potential complications requiring surgical intervention. This study aims evaluate feasibility and clinical of implementing a TAVI program at cardiology department without department, collaboration remote hospital...

We aimed to investigate the effect status on treatment and outcome ACS patients.The study was based 2021 Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Survey. Patients were stratified into two groups according status, vaccinated compared unvaccinated. who had received at least 2 doses up 1 week prior hospitalization...
Introduction: Effective management of dyslipidemias is crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality among patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Sex differences in dyslipidemia premature ACS Israeli have not been extensively studied. This study aimed to investigate potential disparities between men women managing dyslipidemia, considering current guidelines. Methods: retrospective cohort examined who were 55 years old or younger admitted Meir Medical Center from January 2018 February...
Background Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. While new therapeutic options have improved outcomes of ACS patients, data regarding very elderly patients limited.
