Ranolazine plus AAD helps maintain sinus rhythm after DCCV in persistent AF

03 May 2024 bởi

Treatment with ranolazine in combination with class III antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) is associated with improved maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) 1 year after DC cardioversion (DCCV) relative to class III AAD alone, according to a study presented at EHRA 2024.

Ultra-low temp cryoablation eliminates monomorphic VT: Is it ready for primetime?

03 May 2024 bởi

Treatment of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a novel ultra-low-temperature cryoablation catheter (vCLAS) eliminates VT in most patients with ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy in the first-in-human Cryocure-VT trial.

VCS device supports early ambulation without bleeding events after AF ablation

03 May 2024 bởi

The use of a venous closure system (VCS) post ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) shortens ambulation time without recurrence of bleeding in the STYLE-AF study presented at EHRA 2024.

Landiolol reduces heart rate in tachyarrhythmia, LV dysfunction

02 May 2024 bởi

Use of landiolol, a highly selective and short-acting beta-1 blocker, demonstrates adequate safety and efficacy in terms of heart rate control among patients suffering from atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, suggest the results of a meta-analysis presented at EHRA 2024.

Conformable, ‘single-shot’ pulsed field ablation catheter scores high for pulmonary vein isolation

01 May 2024 bởi

A novel “single-shot,” large-lattice pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter that conforms to diverse left atrial and pulmonary vein anatomies is safe and efficacious for isolating pulmonary veins in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), as shown in a first-in-human trial.

Anticoagulation of little benefit to patients with device-detected AF, multiple comorbidities

30 Apr 2024 bởi

Giving oral anticoagulants to patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation (AF) and multiple comorbidities does not necessarily help lower the rate of cardiovascular events, according to a subgroup analysis of the NOAH-AFNET 6 trial.

VT ablation reduces ICD therapy, hospitalization for arrhythmia

23 Apr 2024 bởi

Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) before placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is associated with a reduced risk of appropriate ICD therapy or ventricular arrhythmia (VA)-related hospitalization in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and chronic total occlusion of an infarct-related artery (IRA-CTO), findings from the PREVENTIVE VT trial have shown.

A sock to detect diabetic, CV complications?

22 Apr 2024 bởi

A study presented at EHRA 2024 demonstrated the potential of a sock fitted with a ballistocardiogram (BCG) sensor to predict diabetic complications by identifying foot pressure distribution patterns, as well as to detect cardiovascular issues.
