Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of atrial fibrillation termination site and termination mode in catheter ablation on arrhythmia recurrence.
Shinsuke Miyazaki,Hiroshi Taniguchi,Shigeki Kusa,Takashi Uchiyama,Hiroaki Nakamura,Hitoshi Hachiya,Kenzo Hirao,Yoshito Iesaka +7 more
TL;DR: The site and mode of AF termination during the index ablation procedure predict ATa recurrence following multiple catheter ablation procedures for PsAF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in the Quality of Life and Exercise Performance in Relation to the Plasma B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Level After Catheter Ablation in Patients With Asymptomatic Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Atsuhiko Yagishita,Yasuteru Yamauchi,Hironori Sato,Shu Yamashita,Tatsuhiko Hirao,Takamichi Miyamoto,Kenzo Hirao,Mitsuaki Isobe +7 more
TL;DR: Maintenance of sinus rhythm after successful CA improved the QOL, EP, and plasma BNP level in patients with asymptomatic persistent AF, suggesting CA may be primarily applicable in such patients with previously unrecognized impairment in their QOL and EP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical course of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in the era of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and radiofrequency catheter ablation.
Masatoshi Komura,Jun-ichi Suzuki,Susumu Adachi,Atsushi Takahashi,Kenichiro Otomo,Junichi Nitta,Mitsuhiro Nishizaki,Tohru Obayashi,Akihiko Nogami,Yasuhiro Satoh,Kaoru Okishige,Hitoshi Hachiya,Kenzo Hirao,Mitsuaki Isobe +13 more
TL;DR: ICD implantation in combination with medication may be a better treatment for ARVC, where the prognosis of ARVC with CHF onset is poor and ICD therapy significantly reduced hospitalization due to VT compared with RFCA treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of extended external auto-triggered loop recorder monitoring for atrial fibrillation.
Takamitsu Takagi,Shinsuke Miyazaki,Shigeki Kusa,Hiroshi Taniguchi,Noboru Ichihara,Jin Iwasawa,Akio Kuroi,Hiroaki Nakamura,Hitoshi Hachiya,Kenzo Hirao,Yoshito Iesaka +10 more
TL;DR: Twenty-four-hour monitoring detected a part of the ATa recurrences after ablation procedures, and extended ELR enabled arrhythmia monitoring for longer, with higher diagnostic yield of recurrence, regardless of patient symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence after “long-term success” in catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Eisuke Usui,Shinsuke Miyazaki,Hiroshi Taniguchi,Noboru Ichihara,Yoshihisa Kanaji,Takamitsu Takagi,Jin Iwasawa,Akio Kuroi,Hiroaki Nakamura,Hitoshi Hachiya,Mitsuaki Isobe,Kenzo Hirao,Yoshito Iesaka +12 more
TL;DR: Although PV reconnections were commonly found even after "long-term success," AF/AT unrelated to PVs was assumed to be present in the majority of this population.
