Effectiveness of a standardized approach to repeat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation: insights into the value of extrapulmonary vein targets
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrythmia with an estimated lifetime incidence of 1 in 4.1 Catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug therapy for rhythm control and has been associated with reduced morbidity and mortality,2 but atrial arrhythmia recurrence post-ablation is seen in a sizeable minority of patients.3,4 Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) is the backbone of ablation strategies for paroxysmal AF (PAF).5 PV reconnection is...
Diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound with artificial intelligence-assisted assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction - npj Digital Medicine
Abstract Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is becoming standard practice in a wide spectrum of clinical settings. There is limited data evaluating the real-world use of FoCUS with artificial intelligence (AI). Our objective was to determine the accuracy of FoCUS AI-assisted left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessment and compare its accuracy between novice and experienced users.
Remote management of worsening heart failure to avoid hospitalization in a real‐world setting
Introduction Chronic heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome that affects over 63 million people worldwide.1 The typical course of chronic HF is characterized by periods of clinical stability punctuated by episodes of worsening symptoms that require escalation of therapy, often in a hospital setting.
Electrophysiological study prior to planned pulmonary valve replacement in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
4 DISCUSSION In this study of 77 consecutive patients with rTOF who systematically underwent EPS before planned PVR, 18 (24%) had inducible VAs. VT was monomorphic except from one patient who exhibited a discrete polymorphic VT. All but one of these patients underwent catheter or surgical ablation and achieved noninducibility at the end of the procedure. During a mean follow-up of 74 ± 40 months, sustained VT occurred in three inducible patients.

CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE LEAD PERFORATION RATES, MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOMES
Lead perforation after cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implant is an uncommon but well-recognized complication. There are no strong recommendations from society guidelines on management; indication for lead revision and pericardial drainage are usually decided by the treating clinicians.

Female representation in clinical studies informing atrial fibrillation guidelines: have we built a house of cards?
1 Women's health Report of the Public Health Service Task Force on Women's Health Issues. Public Health Rep. 1985; 100: 73-106 The 1993 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act subsequently mandated that women be included in NIH-funded clinical trials and underscored the importance of considering sex and gender at early stages of research to inform resource-intensive and influential phase III clinical trials. 2 National Institutes of Health.

Sex Differences in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device Implantations and Complications: Tough Questions, Tougher Answers
1 Ponikowski P. Voors A.A. Anker S.D. et al. 2016 ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. Eur Heart J. 2016; 37 : 2129-2200 Advances in our understanding of this condition and in available therapies have substantially improved outcomes in patients with HF with reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF).
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure for managing thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation
KEY POINTS A trial fibrillation, the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality[1][1] with an incidence that increases with age. Patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly older adults, have a substantially increased risk of
Predictors of sling revision after mid‐urethral sling procedures: a case‐control study
Data on patient and surgical factors were obtained via manual electronic and paper chart review. Three sets of pre‐specified simple and multivariable logistic regression models were fit to (1) examine previously reported risk factors for MUS revision after primary surgical treatment, (2) identify preoperative predictors of MUS complications requiring revision/removal, and (3) identify surgical factors associated with this outcome after adjusting for potential confounders.
Standards and Methodological Rigor in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Preclinical and Translational Research
Despite advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology and the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), significant therapeutic gaps remain for this devastating disease. Yet, few innovative therapies beyond the traditional pathways of endothelial dysfunction have reached clinical trial phases in PAH.
Methodological Rigor in Preclinical Cardiovascular StudiesNovelty and Significance
Methods and Results: All articles published over a 10-year period in 5 leading cardiovascular journals were reviewed. Reports of in vivo experiments in nonhuman mammals describing pathophysiology, genetics, or therapeutic interventions relevant to specific cardiovascular disorders were identified. Data on study design and animal model use were collected.
Association Between Self‐Reported Potentially Modifiable Cardiac Risk Factors and Perceived Need to Improve Physical Health: A Population‐Based Study
Background An individual's perceived need to improve their physical health (PNIPH) is an essential precursor to adopting healthy behaviors. Nine potentially modifiable risk factors (PMRFs) for myocardial infarction collectively account for ?90% of the population attributable risk. Though widely recognized, their impact on individuals’ health perceptions is unclear.
Impact of Center Experience on Patient Radiation Exposure During Transradial Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Intervention: A Patient‐Level, International, Collaborative, Multi‐Center Analysis
|
Background The adoption of the transradial (TR) approach over the traditional transfemoral (TF) approach has been hampered by concerns of increased radiation exposure—a subject of considerable debate within the field. We performed a patient‐level, multi‐center analysis to definitively address the impact of TR access on radiation exposure.
