PurposeThe safety and efficacy of a minimally interrupted novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) strategy at the time of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to compare rates of bleeding and thromboembolic events between minimally interrupted NOAC and uninterrupted vitamin K antagonist (VKA) in patients undergoing ...

PurposeSymptomatic severe pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rare but well-recognized complication. Treatment options include pulmonary vein angioplasty with or without drug eluting balloons or angioplasty with stent implantation. The treatment of choice is unclear. In our center, pulmonary vein s...

PurposeCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with multipoint left ventricular (LV) pacing (MultiPoint™ Pacing [MPP]) improves long-term LV reverse remodeling, though questions persist about how to program LV pacing vectors and delays. We evaluated if an empirical method of programming MPP vectors and delays between pacing pulses improved CRT resp...

PurposeIL-17-producing T cells have been implicated in the inflammatory milieu of chronic heart failure (CHF), which implies a dismal prognosis in affected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the frequency and functional activity of Th17 and Tc17 cells, as well as, on IL-17 mRNA e...

PurposeWe sought to assess the safety and effectiveness of three different devices: (1) vacuum drainage system, (2) hemostatic gelatin sponge (Stypro®), and (3) compression device (Premofix®) compared to standard of care (control) in patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation receiving anticoagulation and/or dual ...

PurposeOur aim was to elucidate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after repeated pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).MethodsWe conducted a non-randomized observational study, with the data prospectively collected. One hundred patients (paroxysmal AF, n = 89) underwent PVI using a contact force...

PurposeGenome-wide association studies have identified several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). The relationship between SNPs and the incidence of stroke, heart failure, and the recurrence rate of AF after cardioversion has been reported. This meta-analysis focuses on the genotype-phenotype associatio...
