Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two avocado rootstocks, ANRR88 and ANGI52, grafted onto the Hass variety, focusing on their performance under different water stress levels (deficits and excess).
- Measurements included plant height, leaf area, dry matter, and carbon content in various plant parts, with root traits assessed using digital imaging and stress quantified through vegetation indices (NDVI, CI, MTCI).
- Results indicated that ANRR88 is more sensitive to water availability changes, while ANGI52 shows better adaptability to both water deficit and excess, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate rootstocks for avocado cultivation to improve productivity under variable water conditions.
Background: Catheter ablation is recommended as first-line therapy for patients with symptomatic typical AFl. Although the conventional multi-catheter approach is the standard of care for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation, a single-catheter approach was recently described as a feasible alternative. The present study sought to compare safety, efficacy, and efficiency of single vs.

Background: Safety and outcomes after scar-related VT ablation during SR are not well known. Hemodynamic instability and need for electrical cardioversion can compromise safety of VT ablation procedures.
Aims: Current navigation systems incorporate algorithms for automatic identification of local activation time (LAT). However, data about their utility and accuracy in premature ventricular complex (PVC) ablation procedures are scarce. This study analyses the accuracy of an algorithmic method based on automatic annotation of the maximal negative slope of the unipolar electrogram within the window demarcated by the bipolar electrogram compared with conventional manual annotation during PVC ablation procedures.

The ECG during tachycardia suggested an epicardial origin. The arrhythmia was successfully treated using a non-surgical transthoracic epicardial approach.

The present study has evaluated the effect of treatment with the angiotensin I type 1 receptor blocker irbesartan on maintaining sinus rhythm after conversion from persistent atrial fibrillation.
Methods And Results: To be included in the present study, patients must have had an episode of persistent atrial fibrillation for >7 days.
