Outcomes of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent flutter ablation: randomized study comparing single vs. multiple catheter procedures—the SIMPLE study
Catheter ablation is recommended as first-line therapy for patients with symptomatic typical AFl. Although the conventional multi-catheter approach is the standard of care for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablat...

A hybrid clinical and electrocardiographic score to predict the origin of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias
To predict the outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OTVA) site of origin (SOO) before the ablation procedure has important practical implications. The present study sought to prospectively evaluate the accur...

Reproducibility analysis of the computerized tomography angiography–derived left atrial wall thickness maps
Adapting the ablation index (AI) to the left atrial wall thickness (LAWT) derived from computed tomography angiography (CTA) allows for a personalized approach that showed to improve PVI safety and outcomes.

Preventive substrate ablation in chronic post-myocardial infarction patients with high-risk scar characteristics for ventricular arrhythmias: rationale and design of PREVENT-VT study
Recent studies showed that an early strategy for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation resulted in reduction of VT episodes or mortality. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived border zone channel (BZC) mass...

Relationship between the posterior atrial wall and the esophagus: esophageal position and temperature measurement during atrial fibrillation ablation (AWESOME-AF). A randomized controlled trial
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) implies unavoidable ablation lesions to the left atrial posterior wall, which is closely related to the esophagus, leading to several potential complications. This study evaluate...

A standardized stepwise zero-fluoroscopy approach with transesophageal echocardiography guidance for atrial fibrillation ablation
There is growing interest in performing fluoroless radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) due to the increasing awareness of risk associated with radiation exposure of patients and professi...

Monocyte Subsets Are Differently Associated with Infarct Size, Left Ventricular Function, and the Formation of a Potentially Arrhythmogenic Scar in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
To investigate the role of classical (CLM, CD14++CD16−), intermediate (INTM, CD14++CD16+), and non-classical (Non-CLM, CD14+CD16++) monocytes in scar formation after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ev...

Estimation of Local Conduction Velocity from Myocardium Activation Time: Application to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
As models of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) are maturing, an increasing effort is being put in their translation to the bed side, in particular for abnormal cardiac rhythm diagnosis and therapy planning. Howev...

A Rule-Based Method to Model Myocardial Fiber Orientation for Simulating Ventricular Outflow Tract Arrhythmias
Myocardial fiber orientation determines the propagation of electrical waves in the heart and the contraction of cardiac tissue. One common approach for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomical models ...

Quasi-Conformal Technique for Integrating and Validating Myocardial Tissue Characterization in MRI with Ex-Vivo Human Histological Data
Ventricular tachycardia caused by a circuit of re-entry is one of the most critical arrhythmias. It is usually related with heterogeneous scar regions where slow velocity of conduction tissue is mixed with non...
