Mashup Score: 0In silico pace mapping identifies pacing sites more accurately than inverse body surface potential mapping - 5 hour(s) ago
Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) is a noninvasive technique for ventricular tachycardia ablation planning. However, it is limited to reconstructing epicardial surface activation. In silico pace mapping combines a personalized computational model with clinical electrocardiograms (ECGs) to generate a virtual 3-dimensional pace map.

Mashup Score: 18Clinical anatomy of the right intercostal arteries: Another neighbor to know before pulmonary vein isolation - 6 hour(s) ago
Hemothorax caused by a right intercostal artery (ICA) injury behind the left atrium (LA) is a potentially fatal complication during pulmonary vein isolation. However, their anatomical relationship has not been fully elucidated.

Mashup Score: 16
A novel lattice tip ablation catheter that can toggle between radiofrequency and pulsed-field energy is able to perform not only pulmonary vein isolation, but also linear lesions under general anesthesia (GA).

Catheter ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel energy modality, which relies on high-voltage electric fields to achieve cardiac tissue ablation. Data on its efficacy in the elderly are scarce.

Mashup Score: 89
Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a lower incidence of progression to persistent AF compared with the use of antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy.

Mashup Score: 15Leveraging A Randomized Trial to Assess Relationships between Transeptal Puncture, Brain Emboli, and Migraine Symptoms - 2 day(s) ago
Catheter ablation procedures with transseptal punctures (usually for atrial fibrillation) are often associated with migraine-related visual auras, but the mechanism remains unknown. Whether this phenomenon is mediated by the creation of an atrial septal defect from transseptal puncture, or alternatively by silent acute brain emboli detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) related to the procedure, remains to be investigated.

Mashup Score: 15Safety and Effectiveness of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in AF Patients with Non-Mechanical Valves (SAFE VALVE) - 4 day(s) ago
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been studied in nonvalvular (NV) atrial fibrillation (AF). Data are lacking in AF patients with non-mechanical valves (NMV).

Mashup Score: 24Characteristics of patients with Brugada Syndrome and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia - 19 day(s) ago
Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is an arrhythmogenic disorder associated with sudden cardiac death primarily due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (MVT) are rarely reported, and little is known about their characteristics.

Mashup Score: 4
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to reliably locate RFA lesions with microvascular obstruction (MVO) as a broadly accepted signature. However, MVO volume depends on the time elapsed after gadolinium contrast injection. Native T1w MRI has recently been shown to accurately characterize RFA lesions in preclinical models.
