    Prognostic value of 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol incorporating syntax score in acute coronary syndrome

    The utility of adding information on 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol (1,5-AG), a marker for postprandial hyperglycemia, to a pre-existing scoring system in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients is unknown. This retrospec...

    The P wave morphology in lead V7 on the synthesized 18-lead ECG is a useful parameter for identifying arrhythmias originating from the right inferior pulmonary vein

    Atrial tachyarrhythmias often originate from the superior vena cava (SVC), and right superior (RSPV) and inferior pulmonary veins (RIPV). However, a precise differentiation of those origins is challenging usin...

    Intra-procedural evaluation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus anatomy with different techniques: comparison of angiography and intracardiac echocardiography

    Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) anatomies are highly variable, and specific anatomies lead to a difficult CTI ablation. This study aimed to compare the clinical utility of angiography and intracardiac echocardiog...

    Endothelial damage and thromboembolic risk after pulmonary vein isolation using the latest ablation technologies: a comparison of the second-generation cryoballoon vs. contact force-sensing radiofrequency ablation

    Experimental data suggest that cryoenergy is associated with less endothelial damage and thrombus formation than radiofrequency energy. This study aimed to compare the impact of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ...
