PO-01-156 UNVEILING CLINICAL AND IMAGING PREDICTORS OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA ABLATION OUTCOMES IN STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE PATIENTS: INSIGHTS FROM MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF 508 PROCEDURES

HeartRhythm

Multiple risk factors for arrhythmia recurrence after Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) ablation have been identified. However, the cumulative impact of these risk factors has not been evaluated, making it challenging to predict these risks in patients with multiple coexisting conditions.

Biosense Webster Study Supports Low and Zero Fluoroscopy Workflow as Safe, Effective Alternative to Conventional Catheter Ablation

DAIC

a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTechi , revealed findings from a company-funded study of real-world data. Biosense Webster's zero fluoroscopy workflow is the first and only such workflow available in a radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation device.

Catheter ablation approach and outcome in HIV+ patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

We present the long-term outcome of catheter ablation (CA) and electrophysiological characteristics in HIV+ AF patients. A total of 31 HIV patients and 31 controls were generated by propensity matching, based on calculated risk factor scores, using a logistic model. vs. 54%, p  < .001], vs. 45.2%, p  < .001]

2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines

Circulation

Additional relevant studies, published through November 2022, during the guideline writing process, were also considered by the writing committee and added to the evidence tables, where appropriate.StructureAtrial fibrillation is the most sustained common arrhythmia, and its incidence and prevalence are increasing in the United States and globally.

Early Rhythm Control, Lifestyle Modification and More Tailored Stroke Risk Assessment Are Top Goals in Managing Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), affecting over 6 million Americans, and the number is expected to double by 2030. Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that disables portions of heart tissue that cause irregular heart rhythms. “In

Clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with isolated cardiac sarcoidosis: Insights from the ILLUMINATE?CS study

European Journal of Heart Failure

Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that iCS was significantly associated with the primary outcome in the unadjusted model; however, the association disappeared after adjustment for log-transformed B-type natriuretic peptide level, LVEF, a history of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, and ablation for ventricular tachycardia after diagnosis.
