Long-term results of ablation index guided atrial fibrillation ablation: insights after 5+ years of follow-up from the MPH AF Ablation Registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We present real-world 5-year follow-up data of AI-guided pulmonary vein isolation. Results Our patient cohort was older, with higher BMI, greater CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and larger left atrial sizes compared to similar previously published cohorts, while gender balance and other characteristics were similar.

Gender disparities in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The primary reason for CA differed significantly (female: coronary event 45%, pulmonary embolism 23%, cardiogenic shock 17%; male: coronary event 70%, primary arrhythmia 10%, cardiogenic shock 10%; p  = 0.001). The bivariate analysis showed relevant interactions between gender and body mass index (BMI).

Predictors of first pass isolation of the pulmonary veins in real world ablations: An analysis of 2671 patients from the REAL?AF registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction During atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA), achievement of first pass isolation (FPI) reflects effective lesion formation and predicts long-term freedom from arrhythmia recurrence. We aim to determine the clinical and procedural predictors of pulmonary vein FPI. 0.96]) and LA volume (OR per mL increase = 1.00 [0.99–1.00])

The relationship between different ventricular rate control levels and cardiac remodeling in early persistent atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, with ventricular rate control being a critical therapeutic target. Further regression analysis indicated that body mass index (BMI) might be related to changes in LAD. However, the optimal range for ventricular rate control remains unclear.
