TL;DR: HBP and LBBAP may significantly increase the overall success of physiologic pacing and be feasible in a high percentage of patients with low thresholds during acute follow-up.

TL;DR: AF ablations can be performed at 45-50 W for short durations with very low complication rates and have the potential to shorten procedural and total RF times and create more localized and durable lesions.
164 citations
TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that LBBAP holds promise as an attractive physiological pacing strategy for AVB, and cardiac function and left ventricular synchronization by 2-dimensional echocardiographic strain imaging at the 3-month follow-up slightly improved compared with that at baseline.
161 citations
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to critically summarize the state of the art on myocarditis presenting with arrhythmias in terms of epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
130 citations
TL;DR: In patients with standard bradycardia pacing indications, LBBP results in QRSd < 120 ms in most patients and can be performed successfully and safely in the majority of patients.
130 citations
TL;DR: Patients receiving His- CRT on-treatment demonstrated superior electrical resynchronization and a trend toward higher echocardiographic response than BiV-CRT, and larger prospective studies may be justifiable with refinements in patient selection and implantation techniques to minimize crossovers.
128 citations
TL;DR: LBBAP can be a new CRT to correct LBBB, provide ventricular synchrony and improve clinical symptoms with LV reverse remodeling, demonstrates that LBBAP is clinically feasible in patients with systolic HF and L BBB.

TL;DR: This expert consensus statement provides the clinician with guidance on evaluation and management of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and includes clinically relevant information on genetics and disease mechanisms.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current understanding of the circadian rhythm in cardiac electrophysiology, arrhythmogenesis, and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
TL;DR: Intracardiac PFA can be feasibly delivered from a circular catheter to create fibrotic lesions that have acute electrical effects, without injury to nontargeted tissue.
TL;DR: Overall, agreement of ECGi activation mapping and contact mapping is poor and heterogeneous, and the between-map correlation is good for wide QRS patterns.
TL;DR: Cardioneuroablation via GPs ablation in LA effectively inhibited the recurrence of VVS and may provide a new potential approach for the treatment of neural reflex syncope or brady-arrhythmias.
TL;DR: The PRAETORIAN score allows the identification of patients with high defibrillation thresholds by using the routine chest radiograph and provides feedback to implanters on S-ICD positioning.
TL;DR: Despite a long duration of AVB and chronic RVP, HBP normalized QRS complexes and T waves with stable thresholds, suggesting that progression of distal conduction disease is uncommon in this population.
TL;DR: This review provides information on the biophysics and mechanisms of IRE, summarizes key studies and applications to date, and provides insight into future applications.
TL;DR: Injection of BTX into epicardial fat pads in patients undergoing CABG resulted in a sustained and substantial reduction in atrial tachyarrhythmia incidence and burden during 3-year follow-up, accompanied by reduction in hospitalizations.
TL;DR: ICE-guided Watchman implant is safe, feasible, and comparable in cost to TEE during LAAC with a Watchman device but avoids GA and expedites procedure turnaround.
TL;DR: PVI was not achievable without carina ablation in one-fifth of patients, probably because of epicardial connections present between the right-sided pulmonary venous carina and the RA.
TL;DR: The role of the Marshall bundle (MB) network in left atrial (LA) ATs using high-density 3-dimensional mapping found that MB reentrant ATs accounted for up to 30.2% of the left ATs after AF ablation.
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that distinct substrates, delayed depolarization, and abnormal early repolarization underlie inferolateral J-wave syndromes, with significant implications, and propose a new simplified mechanistic classification of sudden cardiac deaths without apparent structural heart disease.
TL;DR: The arrhythmogenic mechanisms underlying this model likely are associated with structural remodeling and Ca2+ handling disorders in the atrial myocytes and CaMKII expression and phosphorylation of RyR2-Ser2814 and PLN-Thr17.

TL;DR: A small percentage of type 2b lesions of esophageal lesions progressed to perforation and/or fistula formation, and these patients need to be followed closely.
TL;DR: Regular moderate alcohol consumption, but not mild consumption, is an important modifiable risk factor for AF associated with lower atrial voltage and conduction slowing, and electrical and structural changes may explain the propensity to AF in regular drinkers.
TL;DR: The majority of patient-reported triggers are modifiable, potentially identifying accessible means to prevent and reduce AF episodes and exploring the interactions between AF patient type, including underlying genetic differences, and common exposures may be fruitful areas of investigation.

TL;DR: Risk factors for LAE appear different in children compared to adults, and conventional adult risk factors were not significant in children.
