Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time dominant frequency mapping and ablation of dominant frequency sites in atrial fibrillation with left-to-right frequency gradients predicts long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm.
Felipe Atienza,Jesús Almendral,José Jalife,Sharon Zlochiver,Robert Ploutz-Snyder,Esteban G. Torrecilla,Angel Arenal,Jérôme Kalifa,Francisco Fernández-Avilés,Omer Berenfeld +9 more
TL;DR: Radiofrequency ablation leading to elimination of LA-to-RA frequency gradients predicts long-term SR maintenance in AF patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ablation of electrograms with an isolated, delayed component as treatment of unmappable monomorphic ventricular tachycardias in patients with structural heart disease
Angel Arenal,Esteban Glez-Torrecilla,Mercedes Ortiz,Julián P. Villacastín,Javier Fdez-Portales,Elena Sousa,Silvia del Castillo,Leopoldo Pérez de Isla,Javier Jiménez,Jesús Almendral +9 more
TL;DR: Electrograms with IDCs related to clinical VT can be identified in the majority of patients during RVA pacing and radiofrequency ablation of E-IDC seems effective in controlling unmappable VT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indications for the use of diagnostic implantable and external ECG loop recorders
Michele Brignole,Panos E. Vardas,Ellen Hoffman,Heikki V. Huikuri,Angel Moya,Renato Pietro Ricci,Neil Sulke,Wouter Wieling,Angelo Auricchio,Gregory Y.H. Lip,Jesús Almendral,Paulus Kirchhof,Etienne Aliot,Maurizio Gasparini,Frieder Braunschweig,Gian Luca Botto +15 more
TL;DR: This early loop recorder approach implies the need for careful initial risk stratification in order to exclude from such a strategy patients with potential life-threatening conditions that require immediate hospitalization or intensive evaluation and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of Inward Rectifier Potassium Channels Accelerates Atrial Fibrillation in Humans Evidence for a Reentrant Mechanism
Felipe Atienza,Jesús Almendral,Javier Moreno,Ravi Vaidyanathan,Arkazdi Talkachou,Jérôme Kalifa,Angel Arenal,Julián P. Villacastín,Esteban G. Torrecilla,Ana Sánchez,Robert Ploutz-Snyder,José Jalife,Omer Berenfeld +12 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that AF is maintained by reentrant sources, most likely located at the PV-LAJ in paroxysmal AF, whereas non-PV locations are more likely in persistent AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tachycardia-related channel in the scar tissue in patients with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardias: influence of the voltage scar definition.
Angel Arenal,Silvia del Castillo,Esteban González-Torrecilla,Felipe Atienza,Mercedes Ortiz,Javier Jimenez,Alberto Puchol,Javier Landero García,Jesús Almendral +8 more
TL;DR: CCs represent areas of slow conduction that can be identified in 75% of patients with SMVT, and a tiered decreasing-voltage definition of the scar is critical for CC identification.
