Prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation with chronic dual-site right atrial pacing

TLDR
It is concluded that multisite right atrial pacing is feasible, effective and safe for long-term application and should be considered either as the primary mode or in patients unresponsive to single-site pacing.

Catheter-Induced Ablation of the Atrioventricular Junction to Control Refractory Supraventricular Arrhythmias

TL;DR: If this new technique involving delivery of DC shocks to an electrode catheter positioned adjacent to the His bundle proves safe and effective, it should supplant the need for open heart surgical procedures for His-bundle ablation.

Radiofrequency ablation of the inferior vena cava-tricuspid valve isthmus in common atrial flutter.

TL;DR: Radiofrequency applied to the IVC-TV isthmus is confirmed to be an essential part of the AF circuit and may be of therapeutic value, but technical improvements are needed.

Prospective randomised trial of atrial versus ventricular pacing in sick-sinus syndrome

TL;DR: Patients with sick-sinus syndrome should be treated with atrial paced rather than ventricular pacing because atrial pacing is associated with lower frequencies of atrial fibrillation, thromboembolic complications, and a low risk of atrioventricular block.

Long-term pacing in sinus node disease: effects of stimulation mode on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: In sinus node disease, the advantages of AAI over VVI pacing persist during long-term follow-up and appear to result in a lower mortality rate among patients treated with AAI pacing.

Sotalol versus quinidine for the maintenance of sinus rhythm after direct current conversion of atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: This open, parallel-group study compares quinidine and sotalol treatment for maintenance of sinus rhythm after direct current conversion of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and finds patients treated withSotalol were found to be less symptomatic at the time of relapse compared with relapsing patients in the quInidine group.
