Journal ArticleDOI
Rhythm control versus rate control for atrial fibrillation and heart failure
Denis Roy,Mario Talajic,Stanley Nattel,D. George Wyse,Paul Dorian,Kerry L. Lee,Martial G. Bourassa,J. Malcolm,O. Arnold,Alfred E. Buxton,A. John Camm,Stuart J. Connolly,Marc Dubuc,Anique Ducharme,Peter G. Guerra,Stefan H. Hohnloser,Jean Lambert,Jean-Yves Le Heuzey,Ole Pedersen,Jean-Lucien Rouleau,Bramah N. Singh,Lynne W. Stevenson,William G. Stevenson,Bernard Thibault,Albert L. Waldo +24 more
TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure, a routine strategy of rhythm control does not reduce the rate of death from cardiovascular causes, as compared with a rate-control strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amiodarone to Prevent Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation
Denis Roy,Mario Talajic,Paul Dorian,Stuart J. Connolly,Mark J. Eisenberg,Martin S. Green,Teresa Kus,Jean Lambert,Marc Dubuc,Pierre Gagné,Stanley Nattel,Bernard Thibault +11 more
TL;DR: A prospective, multicenter trial to test the hypothesis that low doses of amiodarone would be more efficacious in preventing recurrent atrial fibrillation than therapy with sotalol or propafenone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation versus Escalation of Antiarrhythmic Drugs
John L. Sapp,George A. Wells,Ratika Parkash,William G. Stevenson,Louis Blier,Jean-François Sarrazin,Bernard Thibault,Lena Rivard,Lorne J. Gula,Peter Leong-Sit,Vidal Essebag,Pablo B. Nery,Stanley Tung,Jean-Marc Raymond,Laurence D. Sterns,George D. Veenhuyzen,Jeff S. Healey,Damian P. Redfearn,Jean-Francois Roux,Anthony S.L. Tang +19 more
TL;DR: There was a significantly lower rate of the composite primary outcome of death, ventricular tachycardia storm, or appropriate ICD shock among patients undergoing catheter ablation than among those receiving an escalation in antiarrhythmic drug therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation: A systematic review of published studies
Jason G. Andrade,Paul Khairy,Peter G. Guerra,Marc W. Deyell,Lena Rivard,Laurent Macle,Bernard Thibault,Mario Talajic,Denis Roy,Marc Dubuc +9 more
TL;DR: Cryothermal energy offers advantages overRF energy, including increased catheter stability, less endo-thelial disruption with lower thromboembolic risk, and min-imal tissue contraction with healing, an observation thoughtto result in less esophageal damage and PVS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of cardiac cryoablation using a transvenous steerable electrode catheter.
TL;DR: Cryoablation is feasible using an electrode catheter with multiple electrodes and has the potential to allow for reversible ice mapping to confirm a successful ablation target before definitive ablation.
