2024 European Heart Rhythm Association/Heart Rhythm Society/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert cons...

Outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmia guided exclusively by activation map**

Complex atrial tachyarrhythmias (CATs) are commonly observed in patients with prior catheter ablation or cardiac surgery. These arrhythmias are challenging to map and ablate. Historically, entrainment map** ...

Amiodarone is associated with increased short-term mortality in elderly atrial fibrillation patients with preserved ejection fraction

Amiodarone is commonly used in atrial fibrillation (AF). Long-term use of amiodarone is associated with significant toxicities especially in elderly patients. However, in the short term after hospitalization o...

First-line ablation of ventricular tachycardia in ischemic cardiomyopathy: stratification of outcomes by left ventricular function

First-line catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) has been associated with improved outcomes; however, most benefit seems t...

Concealed structural heart disease discovered at cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with ventricular extrasystoles from ventricular outflow tract and apparently normal hearts

Outflow tract (OT) premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are commonly found in clinical practice; in most cases, PVCs are benign and observed in structurally normal hearts, not requiring any therapeutic in...

Outcomes of junctional ectopic tachycardia ablation in adult population—a multicenter experience

Idiopathic junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is typically refractory to antiarrhythmic agents. Catheter ablation for JET is feasible but is associated with high risk of unintended atrioventricular (AV) bloc...

Ventriculoatrial conduction in patients without high-grade AV block: when is it present?

Ventriculoatrial (VA) conduction is a critical component in many arrhythmias, has a diagnostic value in electrophysiology study (EPS), and is implicated in pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias. This study sought to ...

WATCHMAN implantation in patients with a history of atrial fibrillation and intracranial hemorrhage

Use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with a history of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is often considered high risk as OAC-related ICH is associated with high mortality rates. Left atrial appendage clo...
