Nonprocedural bleeding after left atrial appendage closure versus direct oral anticoagulants: A subanalysis of the randomized PRAGUE-17 trial
(2023)
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have shown low bleeding rates in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated by left atrial appendage closure (LAAC); however, data from randomized studies are lacking. This study ...
Prediction of post-operative atrial fibrillation in patients after cardiac surgery using heart rate variability
(2023)
PURPOSE: Post-operative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) occurs in ~ 30% of patients after cardiac surgery. The etiology of PoAF is complex, but a disbalance in autonomic systems plays an important role. The goal of this study ...
A randomized comparison of His bundle pacing versus right ventricular pacing: Effect on left ventricular function and biomarkers of collagen metabolism
(2023)
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular pacing (RVP) can result in pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). It is unknown whether specific biomarkers reflect differences between His bundle pacing (HBP) and RVP and predict a decrease ...
Transseptal puncture in left atrial appendage closure guided by 3D printing and multiplanar CT reconstruction
(2023)
BACKGROUND: The presented study investigates the application of bi-arterial 3D printed models to guide transseptal puncture (TSP) in left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). AIMS: The objectives are to (1) test the feasibility ...
Atrial fibrillation therapy and stroke prevention in hemodialysis patients
(2023)
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially on hemodialysis (HD) is higher compared to the general population without CKD and reaches ~20%. The risk of ischemic ...
Previous antithrombotic therapy does not have an impact on the in-hospital mortality of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
(2023)
The association between antithrombotics (ATs) and the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is well known; however, data regarding the influence of ATs on outcomes are scarce. The goals of this study are: (i) to assess the ...
Is it a true left bundle branch block or not?
(2023)
Among patients with wide QRS complexes of nonRBBB morphologies on ECG, there are those with preserved left septal Purkinje activation, i.e., intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD). Unfortunately, twelve lead ECGs do not ...
Bipolar anodal septal pacing with direct LBB capture preserves physiological ventricular activation better than unipolar left bundle branch pacing
(2023)
BACKGROUND: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) produces delayed, unphysiological activation of the right ventricle. Using ultra-high-frequency electrocardiography (UHF-ECG), we explored how bipolar anodal septal pacing with ...
