Background: Catheter ablation is the primary treatment option for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). It plays a key role in acute therapy of electrical storm, treatment of VTs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), and can reduce VT burden. Here we report on 10-year clinical outcomes following VT ablation from patients enrolled in the prospective German Ablation Registry.

Methods: A retrospective, single-center study was conducted at a tertiary education and research hospital from January 2015 to December 2023. The study population included 1017 consecutive patients with sinus rhythm diagnosed with PFO, of whom 210 had CS.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how in-hospital declines in hemoglobin levels affect long-term mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- Researchers categorized patients based on hemoglobin decline into low (<3 g/dl or no decline) and high (≥3 g/dl) groups, analyzing their mortality and MACCE rates.
- Findings revealed that patients with high hemoglobin decline experienced significantly higher mortality (65%) and MACCE rates (71%) compared to those with low decline, suggesting a concerning link between hemoglobin decline and adverse outcomes in STEMI patients after PCI.
