Cardiac computed tomography angiography for assessment of endothelial insufficiency of left atrial appendage disc ‐like occluder
ConclusionCCTA can replace TEE for examination of the endothelialization status, and patients with EIS have a higher chance of endothelialization than patients with PDL. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Predictors of the right ventricular perforation caused by active ‐fixation pacing and defibrillator leads: A single‐centre experience
ConclusionFluoroscopic predictors of RV perforation associated with RV lead can be easily determined during implantation. Identification of these predictors may prevent the sequelae of RV perforation associated with active-fixation leads. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of new‐onset atrial fibrillation in the context of COVID‐19 infection
AbstractNew-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in COVID-19 raises significant clinical and public health issues. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compile and analyze the current literature on NOAF in COVID-19 and give a more comprehensive understanding of the prevalence and outcomes of NOAF in COVID-19. A comprehensive literature search was carried out using several databases. The random effect model using inverse variance method and DerSimonian and Laird estimator of Tua2 was used to calculate the pooled prevalence and associated 95% confidence interval (CI). Results for outcome analysis were presented as od...

High ‐density mapping of Koch's triangle during sinus rhythm and typical atrioventricular nodal re‐entrant tachycardia, integrated with direct recording of atrio‐ventricular node structure potential
ConclusionDetailed recording of the potentials of nodal structures is possible by means of multipolar catheters for ultrahigh-density mapping, allowing 100% of the AVNRT CL to be covered. These results also have clinical implications for the ablation of right-septal and para-septal arrhythmias. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Conduction time around the mitral valve annulus has the potential to rule out postablation perimitral atrial tachycardia
ConclusionShort E-PMCT may predict noninducibility of PMAT and guide a less invasive ablation strategy. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Validation of dual atrioventricular nodal physiology in dual atrioventricular nodal non ‐reentrant tachycardia via adenosine triphosphate injection during atrial pacing: A novel insight into the role of leftward inferior extension
ConclusionThis unique case, marked by the first instance of DAVNNT caused by LIE, diagnosed through ATP injection, underscores the utility of this diagnostic approach and broadens the spectrum of our understanding and management of this condition.

Surpoint algorithm for improved guidance of ablation for ventricular tachycardia (SURFIRE ‐VT): A pilot study
ConclusionIn this pilot study, an AI-guided ablation strategy for scar-related VT resulted in shorter procedure time and average radiofrequency time per lesion with similar acute procedural and intermediate-term clinical outcomes to a non-AI-guided approach utilizing traditional ablation parameters.
