Circumferential Radiofrequency Ablation of Pulmonary Vein Ostia A New Anatomic Approach for Curing Atrial Fibrillation
Carlo Pappone,Salvatore Rosanio,Giuseppe Oreto,Monica Tocchi,Filippo Gugliotta,Gabriele Vicedomini,Adriano Salvati,Cosimo Dicandia,Patrizio Mazzone,Vincenzo Santinelli,Simone Gulletta,Sergio Chierchia +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an anatomic approach aimed at isolating each pulmonary vein from the left atrium (LA) by circumferential radiofrequency (RF) lesions around their ostia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial Electroanatomic Remodeling After Circumferential Radiofrequency Pulmonary Vein Ablation Efficacy of an Anatomic Approach in a Large Cohort of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Carlo Pappone,Giuseppe Oreto,Salvatore Rosanio,Gabriele Vicedomini,Monica Tocchi,Filippo Gugliotta,Adriano Salvati,Cosimo Dicandia,Maria Pia Calabrò,Patrizio Mazzone,Eleonora Ficarra,Claudio Di Gioia,Simone Gulletta,Stefano Nardi,Vincenzo Santinelli,Stefano Benussi,Ottavio Alfieri +16 more
TL;DR: Circumferential radiofrequency ablation around pulmonary vein (PV) ostia has been described as a new anatomic approach for atrial fibrillation (AF) and major complications (cardiac tamponade) occurred in 2 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac troponin T and C-reactive protein for predicting prognosis, coronary atherosclerosis, and cardiomyopathy in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.
Christopher DeFilippi,Steven S. Wasserman,Salvatore Rosanio,Eric Tiblier,Heidi Sperger,Monica Tocchi,Robert H. Christenson,Barry F. Uretsky,Mathew M. Smiley,Judith H. Gold,Henry Muniz,John Badalamenti,Charles A. Herzog,William L. Henrich +13 more
TL;DR: Both cTnT and CRP remained independent predictors of death after adjusting for a number of potential confounders, and among stable patients with ESRD, increasing levels of cTNT andCRP are associated with increased risk of death.
Journal Article
Cardiac pacing in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block: impact of pacing site for optimizing left ventricular resynchronization.
Carlo Pappone,Salvatore Rosanio,Oreto G,Monica Tocchi,Simone Gulletta,Adriano Salvati,Cosimo Dicandia,Santinelli,Patrizio Mazzone,Veglia F,Ding J,Sallusti L,Spinelli J,Gabriele Vicedomini +13 more
TL;DR: In heart failure patients with left bundle branch block, dual-site pacing improves systolic function more than single-site stimulation and improved ventricular activation synchrony may account for the additional benefit of dual- vs single- site pacing in enhancing contractility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Troponin T in Chest Pain Unit Patients Without Ischemic Electrocardiographic Changes: Angiographic Correlates and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes
Christopher DeFilippi,Monica Tocchi,Rohit J. Parmar,Salvatore Rosanio,Gerard Abreo,Marjorie A Potter,Marschall S. Runge,Barry F. Uretsky +7 more
TL;DR: In a group of patients with chest pain anticipated to have a low prevalence of CAD and a good prognosis, cTnT identifies a subgroup with a high prevalence of extensive and complex CAD and increased risk for long-term adverse outcomes.
