Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Cardiac arrhythmias in patients with COVID‐19 is focused on, its underlying mechanisms, and proposed preventive and therapeutic strategies, and several antimicrobials that are currently used as potential therapeutic agents have uncertain benefit and yet may induce electrocardiographic QT prolongation with potential ventricular pro‐arrhythmic effects.

74 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This expert consensus statement task force was set down to raise awareness of using the right risk assessment tool for a given outcome in a given population, and to provide physicians with practical proposals that may lead to rational and evidence-based risk assessment and improvement of patient care in this regard.

62 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This document is to help electrophysiologists around the world to appropriately select patients for catheter ablation, to perform procedures in a safe and efficacious manner, and to provide follow‐up and adjunctive care in order to obtain the best possible outcomes for patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

39 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A staged approach to therapy with improved pharmacological therapies and the use of catheter‐based therapies is discussed, also known as automatic junctional tachycardia and includes paroxysmal or non‐paroxys mal forms.

33 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This work evaluated the feasibility of stereotactic radioablation for treating paroxysmal AF and found it feasible to treat malignancies and functional disorders with precision.

28 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This study evaluated whether compliance with the atrial fibrillation Better Care pathway for integrated care management would improve clinical outcomes in frail AF patients.

21 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the new bidirectional rotational mechanical sheath TightRail™ (Spectranetics) for lead extraction.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Quinidine has the potential to be an effective pharmacological therapy for SQTS patients, especially in young children who are not feasible in ICD implantation, because of the ability to prolong QT interval.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This study aimed to investigate serum 25[OH]D levels between patients with vasovagal syncope diagnosed with head‐up tilt table test and age‐matched healthy people.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A case of complex scar‐related AT with the use of AdvisorTM HD Grid which showed clear fractionated signal at isthmus area as compare to the absence of signal on ablation catheter at the same area despite adequate contact force is presented.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Patients with cardiac amyloidosis have increased mortality, which can be explained in part by an increased risk of arrhythmias, and the role of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICD) in this population is uncertain.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Left atrial endocardial activation patterns during AF are characterized using noncontact charge‐density mapping to elucidate underlying mechanisms contributing to AF maintenance.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This study reported the transition period experience of the zero‐fluoroscopy procedure by an experienced operator and shared the zero-fluoroscope protocol, which is used for atrial fibrillation without using fluoroscopy.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The efficacy, feasibility, and safety of HPSD ablation during the posterior wall isolation, the Box isolation (BOXI), is evaluated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The purpose of this article was to determine the change in the volume of pacemaker implantations with the COVID‐2019 pandemic and to assess the change the number ofpacemaker implants according to etiology during the pandemic.

Journal ArticleDOI
Hao Zhang1, Miao Yu1, Yu Xia1, Xiaofeng Li1, Jun Liu1, Pihua Fang1 
TL;DR: This study aims to research the clinical features of atrial thrombi in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and to investigate the role of EMT in the development of thrombosis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The feasibility of significant weight reduction in a specialist arrhythmia service, and its impact on atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcomes, is assessed in a real‐world cohort in the United Kingdom.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: To analyze the type of ablation procedure, acute outcomes, and complications related to catheter ablation in Japan during the year of 2018, the total number of patients treated and the number of procedures performed will be analyzed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This work aimed to determine the optimal LI drops for an effective radiofrequency ablation during cavo‐tricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a tachyarrhythmia arising from the atrioventricular node and His bundle area and catheter ablation remains the mainstay of treatment in refractory cases with a high risk of atriventricular block and recurrence.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A 52‐year‐old male with no history of familiar sudden death arrived at the authors' Emergency Department after syncope with loss of consciousness occurred during high fever, and the nose‐pharyngeal swab resulted positive for SARS‐CoV‐2.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Twelve‐lead and signal‐averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) are simple, inexpensive, readily available tools for identifying an unfavorable arrhythmiological substrate by detecting the presence of arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and late potentials (LPs) in these patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Assessment of the correlation of wide QRS complex with MAE by a systematic review and meta‐analysis of previous studies found it to be useful as a predictor of MAE in BrS patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to analyze the latest evidence on the importance of DTAT and whether they predict the AF recurrence after catheter ablation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Trends of de novo implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillators or pacemaker in advancing age are unknown.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of CRT on hemodynamic and arterial stiffness parameters evaluated by noninvasive method to determine whether there is a correlation between the changes after CRT in these parameters and the clinical response to CRT or not.
