Open AccessProcedural efficiency is enhanced combining the pentaspline pulsed field ablation catheter with three-dimensional electroanatomical map** system for pulmonary vein isolation
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) offers a safe, non-thermal alternative for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, the pentaspline PFA-system relies heavily on fluorosc...

Open AccessTwo decades of SVT ablation in Denmark: a trend towards higher age, more comorbidity, and less prior use of antiarrhythmic and rate-limiting pharmacotherapy—a nationwide registry-based Danish study
Trends in patient selection and use of pharmacotherapy prior to catheter ablation (CA) for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are not well described. This study examined temporal trends in patients undergoing ...

Article
Open AccessTherapeutic potential of conduction system pacing as a method for improving cardiac output during ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) reduces cardiac output through high heart rates, loss of atrioventricular synchrony, and loss of ventricular synchrony. We studied the contribution of each mechanism and explored t...
