Characteristics of the phenotype of mixed cardiomyopathy in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
ConclusionIn a cohort of patients with ICD, the group with mixed CMP represents a phenotype predominantly comprised of the elderly with a higher incidence of comorbidities. Mixed CMP resembles ICM in terms of number of device shocks and VT cycle length. Trends of long-term prognosis of patients with mixed CMP are worse than NICM and similar to ICM.

Does obstructive sleep apnoea modulate cardiac autonomic function in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
ConclusionsThis is the first study of HRV in PAF patients with and without OSA. Our results indicate limited differences in HRV between groups. However, this work suggests a chronic increase in parasympathetic nervous modulation and relative reduction in sympathetic modulation in PAF patients with OSA during steady-state non-REM sleep.

Posterior wall isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation. Long-term outcomes of a repeat procedure strategy
ConclusionReinforced PVI + PWI was associated with low long-term AF burden and corresponding improvements in quality-of-life. Reinforced (or durable) PVI + PWI appears to be a promising strategy to treat PeAF.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov.

Evaluation of the direction and extent of ice formation during cryoballoon ablation: an experimental study
ConclusionsIce formation was significantly greater on the lower side of the cryoballoon than on the upper side and extended to the proximal hemisphere of the balloon, which might facilitate the acquisition of a wide ablation area on the left atrial posterior wall after cryoballoon ablation.Graphical AbstractDifferent ice formation after cryoballoon ablationGreater ice formation on the lower side of cryoballoon and an extensive ice formation in the proximal hemisphere, especially in novel cryoballoon.

Reimplantation and long-term mortality after transvenous lead extraction in a high-risk, single-center cohort
ConclusionsDespite the high number of pocket and systemic infection and long dwelling times in our cohort, the short- and long-term mortality after TLE proved to be favorable. Moreover, survival without a new device was not worse compared to patients who underwent a reimplantation procedure. Our study underlines the importance of individual reassessment of the original CIED indication, to avoid unnecessary reimplantation. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Impact of pulmonary vein anatomy and ostial dimensions on long-term outcome after single-shot device –guided cryoablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
ConclusionVariant PV anatomy is a good predictor for AF-recurrence. A correlation between an enlarged CSA of right-sided PVs as well as LSPVs and AF-recurrence was documented. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)
