Effectiveness of first versus successive antitachycardia pacing attempts: predictors and clinical consequencesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2019

Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) terminates the majority (but not all) of slow
ventricular tachycardias (S-VT) with a cycle length (CL) > 320 ms. Usually,
several ATP therapies are programmed in the S-VT zone. Our objective is to
analyse the ATP effectiveness, comparing the first ATP attempt (ATP-1) to the
second (ATP-2) and third (ATP-3) attempts. We studied 556 S-VT (CL = 354 ± 18).

Impact of an additional right pulmonary vein on second-generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation: a propensity matched score studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 54 - Trang 1-8 - 2018

Cryoballoon (CB) technology in the context of anatomical pulmonary vein (PV)
variants might hypothetically hamper successful PV isolation (PVI). Our aim was
to assess the impact of a right middle PV (RMPV) in the setting of
second-generation cryoballoon (CB advance—CB-A), on procedural parameters and on
mid-term follow-up. Consecutive patients with AF presenting RMPV (RMPV+) at the
pre-procedural ... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of atrial fibrillation recurrences during the blanking period following catheter ablation on long-term arrhythmia-free survival: a prospective study with continuous monitoringSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 65 - Trang 519-525 - 2022

The significance of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrences during the 90-day
blanking period following catheter ablation is controversial. Studies to date
examining the impact of AF recurrences during the blanking period have been
limited by intermittent monitoring. We sought to test whether AF recurrences
during the blanking period are associated with long-term recurrences using
continuous monitori... hiện toàn bộ
Arrhythmias and sleep apnea: physiopathologic link and clinical implicationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 57 - Trang 387-397 - 2020

Available evidence suggests a pathogenetic role of sleep breathing disorders in
both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias with non-negligible clinical
implications. Scientific literature has reported convincing findings on the link
between sleep breathing disorders and arrhythmias. The coexistence of these
conditions should be appropriately managed because OSA treatment may reduce
arrhythmia recurre... hiện toàn bộ
Transseptal versus transaortic approach for radiofrequency ablation in patients with cardioverter–defibrillator and electrical stormSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 45-50 - 2010

Radiofrequency current ablation (RFCA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is
usually performed using a retrograde transaortic approach. We compared the
mapping accuracy, procedural course, safety, and results of VT ablation using
transseptal and transaortic route. Twenty-one consecutive patients with ischemic
cardiomyopathy and history of electrical storm underwent RFCA with
electro-anatomic mapping ... hiện toàn bộ
Plasma Levels of Nitrites/Nitrates in Patients with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation are Increased after Electrical Restoration of Sinus RhythmSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 171-176 - 2002

Introduction: Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) have hemodynamic
changes, which impair endothelial cell function resulting in decreased nitric
oxide (NO) production. The aim of this work was to assess endothelial function
in AF patients before and at various time points after cardioversion. Methods:
Forty-two patients with AF and 21 normal and age-adjusted healthy controls were
