Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a non-fluoroscopic ablation method for atrial fibrillation (AF) and supraventricular arrhythmias (SVTs), using intracardiac echo (ICE) and 3D-mapping.
- Out of 95 patients, successful pulmonary vein isolation and targeted ablation were achieved without any complications, such as pericardial effusions or thrombotic issues.
- The results indicate that this radiation-free technique is both safe and effective, demonstrating that successful ablation can occur without the use of fluoroscopy.
Aim: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a valid therapeutic option for patients with heart failure (HF). However, the elderly population was not well represented in the guidelines. The primary end point was to evaluate the impact of advanced age on clinical response and cardiovascular and total mortality of patients undergoing CRT.
