Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated cardioneuroablation (CNA) as a treatment for syncope by analyzing outcomes in 77 patients over a median follow-up of 12 months, focusing on recurrence rates and complications.
- Results showed that 33.8% of patients experienced a recurrence of syncope, with women at a higher risk, while older patients (over 50) had a lower risk; general anesthesia or deep sedation and more than 30 radiofrequency applications correlated with better outcomes.
- The findings suggest that the effectiveness of CNA may be lower than previously believed, highlighting the need for careful consideration of patient factors and procedural details when assessing treatment success.
Introduction And Objectives: We report the results of the 2023 Spanish catheter ablation registry.
Methods: Procedural data were collected and incorporated into the REDCap platform by all participating centers through a specific form.
Results: There were 104 participating centers in 2023 compared with 103 in 2022.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe a mapping approach for ablation of complex atrial re-entrant tachycardias (ARTs) in which high-density activation maps are transformed into low-density activation maps displaying only the active part of the tachycardia circuit.
Background: High-density activation maps during complex ARTs are challenging to interpret because they include the activation patterns of active and passive circuits. Entrainment mapping provides the identification of the active tachycardia circuit.
Introduction And Objectives: The Micra transcatheter pacing system has shown high effectiveness and a lower complication rate than conventional transvenous pacemakers. However, the benefit of the device is unknown in the very old population (≥ 90 years). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Micra in patients ≥ 90 years.
