... for changes in the current statin intensity; in 11 patients (8%), acetylsalicylic acid would be recommended. Conclusion: In our study, more than half of the patients undergoing cardiac computed tomography before AF catheter ablation had CACS above zero. Our findings suggest that an opportunistic evaluation...

... hormones, even within the normal range, are associated with AF recurrence after catheter ablation. Methods: Consecutive paroxysmal AF patients who underwent catheter ablation were enrolled. Patients with abnormal thyroid hormones or previous thyroid illnesses were excluded. Patients were followed for 12...

.... Catheter ablation Electrophysiology Radiation X-ray protection equipment Catheter ablation is a highly effective treatment for reducing arrhythmia burden and improving the quality of life in patients with arrhythmias [1]. Although, novel nonfluoroscopic electroanatomical mapping systems...

.... The primary outcome of the Registry is freedom from any documented recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia lasting >30 s at the 1-year follow-up after AI-guided catheter ablation. Secondary outcomes include AF ablation-related adverse events such as cardiac tamponade, esophageal damage, periprocedural stroke...

... (AAD) and, in case of drug intolerance or failure, patients are referred for catheter ablation to tertiary health care centers. These patients require extensive medical attention and drug regimens usually have disappointing results. A direct comparison between the efficacy of the most potent AAD...

... value of RDW for bleeding events in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) during the administration of 110 mg of dabigatran twice a day after catheter ablation. Methods: One hundred and seventy-two NVAF patients who were hospitalized and received catheter ablation in Jiangsu Provincial...

... cause of HF even in the absence of tachyarrhythmias. The role of cardiac resynchronization in the suppression of anterograde conduction of accessory pathways by catheter ablation or pharmacotherapy in such patients remains unclear, especially in the pediatric population. We describe an infant case...
