Left bundle branch area pacing for heart failure patients requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy: A meta ‐analysis
ConclusionThis meta-analysis of primarily nonrandomized studies suggests that LBBP is associated with a greater improvement in left ventricular systolic function and a lower rate of HFH compared to BVP. There was uniformity of these findings in all of the included studies. However, it would be premature to conclude based solely on the current meta-analysis alone, given the limitations stated. Dedicated, well-designed, randomized controlled trials and observational studies are needed to elucidate better the comparative long-term efficacy and safety of LBBP CRT versus BIV CRT.

Heart failure and atrial fibrillation: Is atrial fibrillation ablation in heart failure pointless or mandatory?
AbstractA vast amount of now well-established clinical and epidemiological data indicates a close, interdependent, and symbiotic association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). Both AF and HF, when co-exist in a patient, have serious treatment and prognostic implications. Based on the prevailing knowledge of the topic, various societies have issued a number of guidelines regarding the management of patients with AF and HF. Overall, it is the rhythm control strategy that has shown beneficial effect over the rate control strategy with improvement in symptoms of AF and HF. While antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs...

Higher power achieves greater local impedance drop, shorter ablation time, and more transmural lesion formation in comparison to lower power in local impedance guided radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation
ConclusionIn LI-guided ablation, the HP could achieve a larger LI drop and shorter time to minimum LI, which may result in more transmural lesion formation compared to a LP setting. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Nonprocedural bleeding after left atrial appendage closure versus direct oral anticoagulants: A subanalysis of the randomized PRAGUE ‐17 trial
ConclusionDuring the 4-year follow-up, LAAC was associated with lessnonprocedural bleeding. The reduction is mainly driven by a decrease in CRNMB. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)
