Identification of atrial fibrillation phenotypes at low risk of stroke in patients with CHA2DS2 ‐VASc ≥2: Insight from the China‐AF study
ConclusionsCluster analysis identified a distinct clinical phenotype at low risk of stroke among high-risk [CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2 (3 for females)] patients with AF. The use of the novel analytic approach has the potential to prevent a subset of AF patients from unnecessary anticoagulation and avoid the associated risk of major bleeding.

Left cardiac sympathetic denervation in children with Jervell Lange ‐Nielsen syndrome and drug refractory torsades – A case series
ConclusionJervell Lange-Nielsen syndrome is a subtype of LQTS with high-risk features. LCSD, an effective therapeutic option for those having symptoms despite being on propranolol, results in significant reduction of QTc interval and amelioration of symptoms.

Ethanol infusion therapy for peri ‐mitral atrial tachycardia through the Marshall bundle with electrical irrelevance of left atrial appendage and mitral isthmus
AbstractA 62-year-old man with a history of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia (AT) received a line of block of the mitral isthmus (MI) and electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA). Upon entrainment pacing, AT recurred and was diagnosed as peri-mitral AT (PMAT) with electrical irrelevance of MI, LAA, and left pulmonary vein, having a critical isthmus identified as Marshall bundle (MB). MB was then infused with ethanol, leading to the successful treatment of the PMAT. (Source: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE)

High ‐density mapping for ablation of atypical atrial flutters – procedural characteristics related to outcome
ConclusionHD mapping was successfully used to identify the majority of AAFl circuits. Ablation resulted in freedom from atrial flutter recurrence in 61% of the cohort. Successful identification of all flutter circuits and critical isthmuses appears to be beneficial for long-term outcomes. (Source: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE)

Pulsed ‐field ablation of pulmonary vein and left atrial posterior wall combined with left atrial appendage occlusion as single procedure
AbstractPulmonary vein isolation and left atrial posterior wall ablation using the Farapulse system, followed by left atrial appendage occlusion, have been achieved as single combined procedure to treat long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation in a patient at high hemorrhagic risk.

Differences in the feasibility, anatomical parameters predicting procedural difficulty, and isolation area of a left atrial posterior wall isolation using radiofrequency versus cryoballoon catheters
ConclusionThe position of the esophagus at a distance from the LIPV was associated with an incomplete LAPWI using RFA, while a steeper angle of the LAPW and transverse enlargement of the LAPW were associated with that using CBA. The completion rate of the LAPWI was higher with RFA, but the isolation area outside of the PVs was greater with CBA. (Source: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE)

Coronary artery complications with left bundle branch area pacing: A review of literature
AbstractLeft bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an emerging technique in cardiac resynchronization therapy that shows promise in improving ventricular synchrony and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure. However, the potential risk of coronary artery complications with LBBAP necessitates careful attention and management. This literature review explores the mechanisms, acute coronary events, and clinical implications associated with coronary artery complications in LBBAP. The mechanism of coronary injury with LBBAP involves mechanical trauma, altered coronary blood flow dynamics, and endothelial damage. Acute c...

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out ‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionECPR in OHCA patients was not associated with improved survival or long-term favorable neurological outcome but did improve favorable neurological outcome in the mid-term. However, these results are likely underpowered due to the small number of available RCTs. Large-scale confirmatory RCTs are needed to provide definitive conclusions.

Situs inversus totalis: A challenge for cardiac resynchronization therapy
We present a challenging cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation in a 60-year-old man with SIT-DXC, heart failure, extreme bradycardia, wide QRS, and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The procedure was complex due to the mirror-image anatomy and the tortuous origin of the coronary sinus (CS) branches that required a subselection catheter for adequate lead implantation.

Experience and insights from a prolonged electrocardiographic monitorization with a wearable system after an embolic stroke of unknown source
ConclusionPCMw represents a feasible non-invasive device that could reliably detect subclinical AF episodes after an ESUS. Diagnostic yield was significatively higher when used within the first 30  days after the event, especially in selected patients. UAE were common, but did not impact prognosis.

Psychosocial risk factors and outcomes in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
AbstractThe association of psychosocial risk factors with cardiovascular disease is well-established, and there is a growing recognition of their influence on atrial fibrillation (AF) . A recent National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute workshop called for transforming AF research to integrate social determinants of health. There is limited data examining the impact of psychosocial risk factors (PSRFs) on outcomes in patients with an established diagnosis of AF. Catheter ablation for AF has been shown to improve arrhythmia burden and quality of life compared with medical treatment alone. It is unknown how PSRFs affect clin...
