Article Synopsis
- Cryoballoon ablation is a treatment for atrial fibrillation that can decrease procedure times and improve efficiency in electrophysiology (EP) labs in Central and Eastern Europe.
- A study used discrete event simulation to evaluate EP lab efficiency based on data from countries like the Czech Republic and Poland, finding significant overtime and the ability to conduct additional procedures.
- Results showed that using the cryoballoon method allowed labs to perform more procedures in a day, suggesting it is an effective strategy to enhance overall efficiency in EP labs.
Objectives: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to assess the effect of Roma ethnicity and self-rated health (SRH) on 9-year all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after coronaro-angiography (CAG), and whether SRH mediates the effect of ethnicity.
Methods: 623 patients (103 Roma) were included. We obtained data from medical records and patients interviews.
Background: Ethnicity is associated with differences in clinical course and outcomes of cardiac disease, often in association with a poorer socioeconomic position. The aim of this study was to compare the mortality after coronary angiography (CAG) of Roma and non-Roma patients matched for education and adjusted for gender and age.
Methods: In total, 816 patients were included in the study (167 Roma and 649 non-Roma).
Background: Cryoballoon ablation technique for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex procedure consisting of several procedural steps associated with significant risk of complications. The aim of this single-centre study was to give detailed analysis of the complication rate and corresponding risk factors of pulmonary veins cryoisolation (PVI) procedures.
Methods And Results: A total of 158 consecutive patients (71.
Objectives: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity world-wide. Evidence on ethnic differences between the Roma and non-Roma regarding medical risk factors is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess differences in medical risk factors and the severity of CHD in Roma compared with non-Roma CHD patients, adjusted for gender, age and education.
