Predictors of Early and Late Atrioventricular Block Requiring Permanent Pacemaker Implantation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Single-Center Experience.

Purpose: Complete heart block requiring permanent pacemaker can occur early following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) due to mechanical compression of the aortic valve annulus and associated atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction system. Data are limited regarding late PM implantation after TAVR. The purpose of this study was to determine predictors of early vs.

Association of atrial fibrillation and various cancer subtypes.

Background: Studies have shown that the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cancer is most likely due to the presence of inflammatory markers. The purpose of our study is to determine the association of AF with different cancer subtypes and its impact on in-hospital outcomes.

Methods: Data were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample database between 2005 and 2015.
