Selection of rhythm intervention strategies in atrial fibrillation patients with cancer and efficacy and safety of catheter ablation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe risk of comorbidity of cancer is increased in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, which is a massive challenge for clinical management in cardiovascular settings. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the related factors affecting the ablation of AF. 1.83, Pā€‰=ā€‰0.62).ConclusionsThe 1.83, Pā€‰=ā€‰0.62).ConclusionsThe

MRI pattern characterization of cerebral cardioembolic lesions following atrial fibrillation ablation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern suggestive of an embolic etiology has been described but, to date, there are no uniformly accepted criteria. Aim The purpose of the study is to describe MRI features of ischemic cerebral lesions occurring after transcatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Management of complications associated with percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with or without ablation: experience from 512 cases over a 4-year period

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPercutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) serves as an alternative prophylactic strategy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who cannot undergo anti-coagulation therapy. The pericardial effusion or tamponade likely resulted from damage to the atrial appendage during LAAC device insertion.

Left ventricular hypertrophy, left atrial enlargement, QRS axis deviation (left more than right), conduction abnormalities like increased P-R interval and bundle branch block may be noted. Mid cavity obstruction in HCM is associated with apical aneurysm, systemic embolism, and arrhythmias. Doppler echo showing LVOT gradient in HCM.
