The interplay of MR and HFpEF: understanding increased pulmonary pressures and strategies for management. HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; MR, mitral valve regurgitation. Abstract Mitral regurgitation (MR) is highly prevalent among patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Abstract Introduction Some previous studies have reported that a first-step ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) with touch-up radiofrequency (RF) ablation can facilitate mitral isthmus (MI) block and improves the ablation outcomes in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) patients.

We investigated whether estimated perimitral conduction time (E-PMCT), namely, twice the time between coronary sinus (CS) pacing and the ensuing wave-front collision at the opposite side of the mitral annulus, correlated with the cycle length of PMAT and could predict future PMAT.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the progression of electrophysiological phenomena in atrial fibrillation (AF) and elucidate the association between the left atrial conduction velocity (LACV) and AF recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation. The left atrium was mapped using a 20-pole electrode catheter combined with the CARTO3 system.

Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.

AF, atrial fibrillation; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RA, right atrial; RV, right ventricular; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; SVI, stroke volume index; TR, tricuspid regurgitation. In addition, the TAPSE/systolic pulmonary artery pressure ratio (TAPSE/sPAP) was monitored as a measure of RVpulmonary arterial (PA) coupling.
