Atrial Fibrillation Burden and Clinical Outcomes in Heart Failure: The CASTLE-AF Trial.

Objectives: This subanalysis of the CASTLE-AF (Catheter Ablation vs. Standard Conventional Treatment in Patients With LV Dysfunction and AF) trial aimed to address the association between atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence, AF burden, and hard clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with AF.

Background: The CASTLE-AF trial demonstrated the benefit of CA compared to pharmacological treatment in decreasing mortality and CV hospitalizations in patients with AF and HFrEF.

Four-Fold Multi-Modal X-ray Microscopy Measurements of a Cu(In,Ga)Se Solar Cell.

Inhomogeneities and defects often limit the overall performance of thin-film solar cells. Therefore, sophisticated microscopy approaches are sought to characterize performance and defects at the nanoscale. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, the simultaneous assessment of composition, structure, and performance in four-fold multi-modality.

Impact of Left Ventricular Function and Heart Failure Symptoms on Outcomes Post Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure: CASTLE-AF Trial.

Background: Recent data demonstrate promising effects on left ventricular dysfunction and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improvement following ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure. We sought to study the relationship between LVEF, New York Heart Association class on presentation, and the end points of mortality and heart failure admissions in the CASTLE-AF study (Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation With Heart Failure) population. Furthermore, predictors for LVEF improvement were examined.

[HIS bundle pacing : Far more than an ECG cosmetic effect].

The therapy for heart failure in patients with uncompromised systolic ventricular function (HfpEF) is still challenging because there is an obvious lack of effective therapy options. Several of these particular patients are additionally presenting atrioventricular (AV) block. In these patients HIS bundle pacing could be a hopeful therapy strategy due to the option of an AV resynchronisation as illustrated in the following case.
