Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long‐Term Outcomes After Ablation: Experience From Two Chinese Centers

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results A total of 323 consecutive FAT patients who underwent electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation between January 2011 and March 2023 were selected for this study. Young adults had a higher proportion of FAT originating from the superior vena cava and pulmonary veins. After a mean follow-up of 47.2

SAVR’s Value in the TAVR Era

CardiacWire

The researchers analyzed 200k nationwide adults who underwent SAVR between 2011 and 2022, finding that… Annual SAVR volumes decreased by 45% (19,560 to 10,851). Much of these SAVR declines occurred in patients with tricuspid aortic valves (from 84.5% The proportion of SAVR patients increased in the <65yr patient group (26.2%

Predictors and clinical implications of residual mitral regurgitation following left ventricular assist device therapy

Open Heart

There is conflicting evidence regarding the clinical impact of residual MR, and studies have not examined whether MR aetiology or right heart function impacts the likelihood of residual MR. Methods This is a retrospective single-centre study of 155 consecutive patients with LVAD implantation from January 2011 to March 2020. 16 and SPSS V.24.

Echocardiographic Predictors of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results All consecutive patients ( n =264) with previous ICD who underwent LVAD surgery between May 2011 and December 2019 at our institution were included. ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative echocardiographic parameters for occurrence of VAs in patients with preexisting ICD undergoing LVAD implantation.
