Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablateheart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF. The company now anticipates U.S.
Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) has been shown to decrease the risk of VT recurrence and hospitalization. However, a critical gap exists in national-level data assessing its impact on hospital outcomes in patients with acute heartfailure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Answer : The ECG above shows a regular wide complex tachycardia. The heart rate is about 130 bpm. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. The ECG below was recorded. Is this: 1.
The goals of the current scientific research on ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation included studies to prove the benefit of early ablation on heartfailure progression and mortality and the need to better characterize and treat heterogeneous deep VT substrates.
Introduction A high recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation was monitored after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Patients will be randomized to (1) receive the standard treatment strategy plus sacubitril/valsartan titration, or (2) receive the standard treatment strategy without taking sacubitril/valsartan.
Predicting the anticipated benefit and selecting the optimal timing of catheter ablation of recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with severe heartfailure (HF) can be challenging.
With advancements in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation, maintaining end-organ perfusion and hemodynamic stability is paramount. However, outcomes with its use are not well established.
We present a patient with a history of heartfailure and metallic aortic and mitral valves surgeries, who required ablation for a drug-refractory left ventricular tachycardia. But the metallic valves prohibite.
Electrical storm (ES) is associated with a high mortality, leads to recurrent hospitalization due to heartfailure or ICD therapy deliveries. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has demonstrated efficacy in lowering VT recurrences but prompt ablation is challenging and the exact timing still unknown.
ABSTRACT Atrial flutter (AFL), defined as macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, is associated with debilitating symptoms, stroke, heartfailure, and increased mortality. Atypical AFL is a heterogenous group of re-entrant atrial tachycardias that most commonly occur in patients with prior heart surgery or catheter ablation.
Wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) is often accompanied by atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL), and atrial tachycardia (AT), which are difficult to control because beta-blockers and antiarrhythmic drugs can worsen heartfailure (HF).
Cardio-oncology is a new field of interest in cardiology focusing on the detection and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as arrhythmias, myocarditis, and heartfailure, as side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The association between chemotherapeutic agents and arrhythmias has previously been established.
Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. This is one important cause of supraventricular tachycardia in Ebstein’s anomaly. Periprocedural electrophysiological study and ablation of potential arrhythmic circuits, have been suggested as a preventive strategy.
The combined solutions are expected to enhance performance and streamline workflows for electrophysiologists during catheter ablation procedures to treat atrial fibrillation , AFib. Our mission to combat complex heart rhythm diseases relies on optimizing interoperability. The company has obtained U.S.
Aims Timely referrals for transplantation and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) play a key role in favourable outcomes in patients with advanced heartfailure (HF). Cardiovascular mortality, driven by sudden cardiac death, is the main reason for dying while waiting for heart transplantation (HTx).
Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia after the first shock reduced the risk of death or worsening heartfailure (wHF). A threshold of ATPs that might warrant an ablation procedure before ICD shocks is unknown.
Introduction The incidence of arrhythmia in heartfailure with non-reduced ejection fraction (HFnon-rEF) in patients who have a history of hospitalisation is unclear. The ILR will be implanted for qualified patients, and ECGs will be monitored and recorded for 1 year to check for arrhythmias.
Patients with iCS were more likely to have a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or hospitalization for heartfailure (HF), or lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) than those with systemic cardiac sarcoidosis. Among 475 patients with CS (mean age, 62.0 ± 10.9 years;
ABSTRACT Introduction The safety and efficacy of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) ablation with the HELIOSTAR multielectrode radiofrequency (RF) balloon catheter have been demonstrated in European studies; data from elsewhere are lacking.

LVH is a common etiology of heartfailure with preserved ejection fraction, as it may results in a stiff ventricle with poor diastolic relaxation. LVH can have very thick-walled ventricles and a correspondingly small LV cavity. We gave him IV fluids and metoprolol, and his pulse normalized, after which he felt completely well.
BackgroundIn medical practice, atrial fibrillation (AF) is intricately associated with heartfailure (HF). Currently, ethanol infusion of vein of Marshall (EIVOM) for AF ablation in HF patients remains significantly limited.MethodThis was a non-randomized, single-center, retrospective observational study. vs. 93.9%).
TiCM is defined as the presence of a reversible form of LV dysfunction due solely to an increase in ventricular rate from any type of frequent or sustained tachycardia ( rapid AFib being the most common precipitating rhythm but TiCM has also been shown to arise from AFlutter, reentry SVT rhythms, ATach, frequent PVCs, episodes of VT ).
ABSTRACT Typical atrial flutter (AFL), defined as cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, often causes debilitating symptoms, and is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke, heartfailure, and death.
