Crijns,Günter Breithardt +28 more
TL;DR: Early rhythm-control therapy was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes than usual care among patients with early atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catheter ablation of stable ventricular tachycardia before defibrillator implantation in patients with coronary heart disease (VTACH): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
Karl-Heinz Kuck,Anselm Schaumann,Lars Eckardt,Stephan Willems,Rodolfo Ventura,Etienne Delacrétaz,Heinz-Friedrich Pitschner,Josef Kautzner,Burghard Schumacher,Peter Steen Hansen +9 more
TL;DR: Prophylactic VT ablation before defibrillator implantation seemed to prolong time to recurrence of VT in patients with stable VT, previous myocardial infarction, and reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate modification combined with pulmonary vein isolation improves outcome of catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation : a prospective randomized comparison
