Article Synopsis
- Purkinje fibers are important in causing ventricular fibrillation (VF) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT), and fascicular substrate modification (FSM) is a proposed treatment method for recurrent VF.
- This study examined 18 patients who underwent catheter-based FSM targeting the Purkinje fibers, finding that the procedure was both safe and effective, with no complications and high success rates.
- After 24 months, 88.9% of the patients remained free from arrhythmias, highlighting the efficacy of FSM compared to traditional antiarrhythmic medications.

Introduction: Both atrial fibrillation (AF) and amyloidosis increase stroke risk. We evaluated the best anticoagulation strategy in AF patients with coexistent amyloidosis.
Methods: Consecutive AF patients with concomitant amyloidosis were divided into two groups based on the postablation stroke-prophylaxis approach; group 1: left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in eligible patients and group 2: oral anticoagulation (OAC).
