David G. Jones,Shouvik Haldar,Shouvik Haldar,Wajid Hussain,Wajid Hussain,Rakesh Sharma,Rakesh Sharma,Darrel P. Francis,Shelley L. Rahman-Haley,Theresa A. McDonagh,Theresa A. McDonagh,S. Richard Underwood,S. Richard Underwood,Vias Markides,Vias Markides,Tom Wong,Tom Wong +16 more
TL;DR: This first randomized trial of ablation versus rate control to focus on objective exercise performance in AF and HF shows significant benefit from ablation, a strategy that also improves symptoms and neurohormonal status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical experience of entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in children and adults: cause for caution.
TL;DR: The clinical experience of using an entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) in children and adults is described, giving cause for caution in light of the limited published data regarding clinical sensing capabilities, particularly among younger patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Evidence From Randomized and Nonrandomized Controlled Trials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a random-effects meta-analysis of RCTs and non-RCTs to assess the efficacy of catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial experience using a forward directed, high-intensity focused ultrasound balloon catheter for pulmonary vein antrum isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation
Hiroshi Nakagawa,Matthias Antz,Tom Wong,Boris Schmidt,Sabine Ernst,Feifan Ouyang,Thomas Vogtmann,Richard Wu,Katsuaki Yokoyama,Deborah Lockwood,Sunny S. Po,Karen J. Beckman,D. Wyn Davies,Karl-Heinz Kuck,Warren M. Jackman +14 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of the HIFU‐BC for PV antrum isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocardial autonomic denervation of the left atrium to treat vasovagal syncope: an early experience in humans.
TL;DR: Comprehensive endocardial autonomic denervation of the LA demonstrates the feasibility of treating VVS in medium-term follow-up and prevents any recurrence of syncope.
