ConclusionThe progression from PAF to PersAF after catheter ablation is associated with a larger LA diameter, history of thyroid disease, and the presence of non-PV triggers. Meticulous preprocedural evaluation, patient selection, and comprehensive provocation tests during catheter ablation are recommended. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Cost ‐effectiveness analysis of leadless cardiac resynchronization therapy
ConclusionWithin the model limitations, these findings support the use of WiSE-CRT in indicated patients from an economic standpoint. However, improving battery technology should be prioritized to maximize cost-effectiveness in times when health services are under significant financial pressures.

Early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia indicates pulmonary vein reconduction independent of blanking period duration in the RACE ‐AF trial
ConclusionEarly ATA indicates PVR, and the positive predictive value is independent of the blanking period duration. Altogether, the results of this study support substantially shortening the blanking period after PVI for paroxysmal AF. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

LBBB and heart failure —Relationships among QRS amplitude, duration, height, LV mass, and sex
ConclusionTrue LBBB criteria do not exclude HF patients with increased LV mass. QRS amplitudes do not correlate with height or LV mass. Height does not affect QRSd. However, QRSd correlates with LV size. QRSd normalized for LV mass results in 24% greater value in women in the direction of sex-specific responses. LV mass may be a significant nonelectrical modifier of QRSd for CRT. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Characteristics of tissue temperature during ablation with THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF versus TactiCath versus QDOT MICRO catheters (Qmode and Qmode+): An in vivo porcine study
ConclusionThis study revealed distinct tissue temperature patterns during HSPD and vHPSD ablations with the three catheters, affecting lesion effectiveness and collateral damage based on Tmax and/or t −T ≥ 50°C. These findings provide key insights into the safety and efficacy of AF ablation with these four settings. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Quantitative assessment of transient autonomic modulation after single ‐shot pulmonary vein isolation with pulsed‐field ablation
ConclusionPVI with the FarapulseTM PFA system is associated with only transitory and short-lasting vagal effects on the ANS which recover almost completely within a few minutes after ablation. The impact of this phenomenon on AF outcome needs to be further investigated. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Anteroseptal accessory pathways: Killing one bird with two stones
ConclusionTwo cases of AS-AP with anterograde and retrograde conduction and successful elimination of pathway conduction required a hybrid ablation approach from the NCC and RA. This approach may be helpful in other cases to improve success rates without using excessive ablation near the normal conduction system. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

The effect of weight loss on recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionIn patients with AF undergoing CA, weight loss is associated with reducing recurrent AF at> 12 months after ablation and these benefits are consistently seen with both>10% and<10% weight loss. The benefits of weight loss in preventing recurrent AF after CA should be examined in larger studies with extended follow-up duration. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Predictors of pulmonary vein non ‐reconnection in the second procedure after ablation index‐guided pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation and its impact on the outcome
ConclusionFPI was the only independent predictor of PV non-reconnection. Despite aggressive ablation for non-PV triggers, AT recurrence was more frequent in patients with PV non-reconnection. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Early recurrences predict late therapy failure after pulsed field ablation of atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsERAT could be recorded in 21% of patients after PFA-PVI and was an independent predictor for LR. We found no difference in the rate of LRs among patients experiencing ERAT before or after 45 days. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)
