The Mail on Sunday did print an apology. Legally, they do not have to print an apology, but they did, which says something. There is still a statement in open court to come (SIOC).

Background Patients with heart failure exhibiting low systolic blood pressure (SBP) have a poor prognosis. Sacubitril/valsartan reduces cardiovascular events; however, its use in patients with low SBP has not been fully examined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the association between baseline SBP and adverse events (AEs) in patients starting sacubitril/valsartan therapy using data from a real-world registry in Japan.

Whereas the ability of other single-shot devices, such as cryoballoon-ablation systems, to accommodate for anatomical variations of the pulmonary veins (PV) is limited,3–5 it is currently unknown if PFA is suited for PV variants like a left common pulmonary vein (LCPV).

Ventricular arrhythmias typically originate from scar tissue. Different imaging modalities have been used to image and display scar tissue accelerating substrate identification and streamlining mapping and ablation of ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is referred as the gold standard for identifying scar tissue especially after myocardial infarction or injury1.

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a common condition resulting in reduced quality of life, syncope, and pacemaker (PPM) implantation, but predictors have not been elucidated. While atrial arrhythmias are frequently associated with SSS, we hypothesized that atrial flutter (AFL) would strongly predict SSS given shared relationships with right atrial, and particularly crista terminalis, fibrosis.

While atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has advanced to improve safety, success rates have been slower to improve. Factors contributing to this include the failure to personalize ablation strategies for individuals. It has been shown that a lack of first-pass isolation (FPI) and the occurrence of acute pulmonary vein reconnection (PVR) predict AF recurrence.(1,2) Despite this, no patient-specific factors have been consistently identified to predict either of these outcomes.

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the long-term outcomes and subclinical HF after nonparoxysmal AF ablation in HFpEF patients have not been fully evaluated. Methods and Results One-hundred-ninety nonparoxysmal AF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% who underwent first-time AF ablation were studied.

In contrast, risk stratification schemes for adverse cardiac outcomes associated with AF, such as stroke, and predictors for AF recurrence post-ablation have recei
