TL;DR: This 2012 Consensus Statement is to provide a state-of-the-art review of the field of catheter and surgical ablation of AF and to report the findings of a Task Force, convened by the Heart Rhythm Society, the European Heart Rhythm Association, and the European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society and charged with defining the indications, techniques, and outcomes of this procedure.

Cardiac-resynchronization therapy for the prevention of heart-failure events.
TL;DR: CRT combined with ICD decreased the risk of heart-failure events in relatively asymptomatic patients with a low ejection fraction and wide QRS complex and was associated with a significant reduction in left ventricular volumes and improvement in the ejectedion fraction.

Problems in echocardiographic volume determinations: Echocardiographic-angiographic correlations in the presence or absence of asynergy
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation of minor and major axes of the left ventricle was determined in 100 left-ventriculograms performed in the right anterior oblique projection and a theoretically correct equation for determination of ventricular volume by echocardiography was derived.
