TL;DR: The working group proposes the following working definition of atrial cardiomyopathy: ‘Any complex of structural, architectural, contractile or electrophysiological changes affecting the atria with the potential to produce clinically-relevant manifestations’ (Table 1).

TL;DR: The J-wave syndromes (JWSs) consisting of the Brugada syndrome (BrS) and early repolarization syndrome (ERS) have captured the interest of the cardiology community over the past 2 decades following the identification of BrS as a new clinical entity.
419 citations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically describe the >80% (83-100%, mean: 96%) required consensus achieved for each recommendation by official balloting in regard to the programming of bradycardia mode and rate, detection, tachycardia therapy, and intraprocedural testing of defibrillation efficacy.
209 citations
TL;DR: ICD implantation carries a significant risk of inappropriate shocks and inhospital and postdischarge complications in relatively young patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes, and these data can be used to better inform patients and physicians about the expected risk of adverse ICD events and thereby facilitate shared decision making.
199 citations
TL;DR: Long-term clinical results after FIRM ablation in this cohort of patients showed poor efficacy, different from previously published studies.
194 citations
TL;DR: The results support the current recommendations for PV isolation as the cornerstone of catheter ablation to eliminate AF triggers in PerAF and LSPAF, with an overall prevalence similar to that found in patients with PAF.
176 citations
TL;DR: Proven isolation of the LAPW provides additional benefits over PVAI alone in the treatment of persistent AF and improves procedural outcome at follow-up, however, the ablation strategy of ePVAI+LAPW is still associated with a significant high incidence of very late recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia.
139 citations
TL;DR: The CAAP-AF score predicted freedom from AF after ablation in both a DC and a TC of patients undergoing AF ablation, and provides a realisticAF ablation outcome expectation for individual patients.
131 citations
TL;DR: In patients with an ICD, both AADs (amiodarone) and CA reduce the risk of recurrent VT compared to control medical therapy, with no significant difference between the 2 treatments.
TL;DR: The new AF detection algorithm in the Reveal LINQ ICM accurately detects the presence or absence of AF and showed high sensitivity in detecting AF duration in patients with a history of intermittent and symptomatic AF.
TL;DR: This randomized multicenter study demonstrated that CF data availability was associated with reduced acute PV reconnection but not improved 1-year success rates, procedural and fluoroscopy times, or complication rates.

TL;DR: LARIAT effectively closes the LAA and has acceptable procedural risks with the evolution of the use of the micropuncture needle for pericardial access and the useof colchicine for mitigating the postinflammatory response associated with LAA ligation and pericARDial access.

TL;DR: Abrams et al. as discussed by the authors presented a list of FAAC-FAAP-FAHA, FAHA, FHRS, FACC, CCDS, CEPS.
TL;DR: The type of clinical presentation of atrial fibrillation may have important implications for the prognosis of new-onset AF in the community and associations remained statistically significant after further adjustments including comorbidities and warfarin use.
TL;DR: The chairman and members of the Evidence Review Committee were: Richard L. Page, MD, FACC, FAHA, FHRS, Chair, Writing Committee Member, José A. Joglar, MD.
TL;DR: In nonparoxysmal AF patients, targeted ablation of FIRM-identified rotors is not effective in obtaining AF termination, organization, or slowing during the procedure.
TL;DR: A time to effect of ≤60 seconds and an iTT0 of ≥10 seconds significantly predict PV isolation durability after the cryoablation of AF, and if both criteria are met, the likelihood of PV reconnection may be exceedingly low.
TL;DR: Long-term follow-up after VT ablation shows excellent prognosis in the absence of SHD, highest VA recurrence, and transplantation in Patients with NICM and highest mortality in patients with ICM.
TL;DR: Catheter ablation persistent AT/AF in advanced CA was associated with a high recurrence rate and appears to have a limited role in control of these arrhythmias.
TL;DR: In patients with PAF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, ablation of non-PV triggers in addition to PVAI significantly improves their long-term procedure outcome.
TL;DR: The value of electrophysiologic studies for predicting spontaneous VF remains controversial, and this includes programmed stimulation protocols that avoid a third extrastimuli or stimulation from the right ventricular outflow.
TL;DR: This model can serve as the basis for further investigation in the physiology and therapeutics of humanlike postinfarction reentrant VT and is a well-characterized swine model of scar-related subendocardial reentrants VT.
TL;DR: Prolonged electrograms localized to epicardial RVOT with variable low voltage were identified in all patients with BrS, suggesting the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator as the cornerstone therapy for BrS.
TL;DR: Patients with chicken wing LAA morphology are less likely to develop TE than patients with non-chicken wing morphology and may be a valuable criterion in predicting TE and could affect the stratification and anticoagulation management of patients with low to intermediate TE risk.
TL;DR: It is found that in a research setting, exercise training along with lifestyle intervention is effective as a nondrug therapy for Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome patients in a community environment.
TL;DR: Findings confirm percolation as a potential mechanism to explain AF in humans and give new insights into dynamics underlying conduction distortions and fractionated signals in excitable media, which correlate well with the experimental findings in fibrotic regions.
TL;DR: Spontaneous Brugada type 1 ECG pattern and symptoms at diagnosis are predictors of LTA events in the young affected by BrS and should become age-specific, and prevention of SCD may involve genetic testing and aggressive use of antipyretics and quinidine.
TL;DR: The data suggested that IAB, particularly advanced IAB is a pre-atrial fibrillation condition associated with premature atrial beats and atrial arrhythmias and IAB occurred more frequently in centenarians than in septuagenarians.
