Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated 242 AF patients (121 men) before and six months after PVI using various assessments for symptoms, HRQOL, and functional impairment.
- * Results indicated that while women reported higher symptom severity at the start, they experienced larger gains in HRQOL and decreased symptoms after the procedure compared to men, with no significant differences in the type of AF or outcomes from the ablation.
Inadequacy in discharge planning, preparation of readiness, and unplanned readmissions are closely linked and could cause misutilization of hospital services, creating higher costs to the health-care system. The information given before discharge is vital and of great importance for the well-being of the patient. The study's objective was to describe the patient's experience of their discharge process.

Objectives: To explore sex differences regarding indication for atrio-ventricular junction ablation (AVJ), choice of pacing system, complications to pacemaker treatment, long-term outcome, and cause of death after AVJ ablation.
Design: 700 patients who had undergone AVJ ablation between January 1990 and December 2010 were included. Data were retrieved from the patients´ medical records and the Swedish Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Registry.
Aims And Objectives: To describe how older patients experience the healthcare chain and information given before, during and after colorectal cancer surgery.
