Article Synopsis
- Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a therapy for conditions like vasovagal syncope, atrioventricular block, and sinus node dysfunction, but its effectiveness for patients over 50 is unclear.
- In a study with 50 patients divided into two age groups (under 50 vs. 50 and above), there was no significant difference in survival rates without syncope or the need for pacemakers between the groups after a median follow-up of 17 months.
- Older patients had lower heart rate post-procedure compared to younger patients, but both age groups showed similar improvements in quality of life and a decrease in heart rate variability.
Article Synopsis
- Carotid sinus syndrome (CSS) leads to severe vagal responses and often requires pacemaker implantation, but this study explores cardioneuroablation (CNA) as a potential alternative treatment.
- The study included 13 patients who underwent various tests before and after the CNA procedure, aiming for no cardioinhibitory response post-treatment and analyzing quality of life improvements.
- Results showed that, after CNA, all but one patient had a negative response to carotid sinus massage, with 84.6% remaining free from syncope and no one needing a pacemaker, indicating CNA may effectively reduce syncopal episodes in CSS patients.
