Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

This retrospective cohort study enrolled 227 AF patients undergoing ICE- or traditional fluoroscopy (TF)-guided RFCA for AF in a tertiary hospital. ICE was used more often in patients with atrial tachycardia [odds ratio (OR) 3.

- * A total of 4437 patients undergoing PFA alone and 1792 patients comparing PFA to thermal ablation were analyzed; PFA showed a high success rate in preventing arrhythmia and low complication rates.
- * PFA is concluded to be a safe and effective alternative to traditional thermal ablation, and particularly better in short-term follow-ups, making it a viable treatment option for AF patients.
Pulsed Field Ablation of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: A Prospective Multicenter Single-Arm Study in China.

December 2024
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has gained attention in cardiac electrophysiology, but data on its application to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia are limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of PFA and its combination with radiofrequency ablation for treating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, single-arm study was conducted across 8 centers in China.
Systemic inflammation generally coexists with functional limitations that seriously affect quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the association between systemic inflammation in midlife and the risk of functional limitations in late-life. A total of 10,044 participants with an average age of 53.
