Background: Early recurrences of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ERATs) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are common. While many correlate to late recurrences (LRs), some do not. The impact of ERATs timing is difficult to assess with noninvasive Holter monitoring because of undersampling.

Background: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains clinically challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of NOAF, identify risk factors for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), and analyze the impact on patient care, therapy, and outcomes during long-term follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study reviewed consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) for acute STEMI between May 2015 and September 2023.
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) with use of a pentaspline catheter for the treatment of atrial fibrillation is performed in a standardized fashion. Whether a reduced number of applications results in similar clinical outcomes has not been fully investigated.
Objective: This study aimed to assess a simplified PFA dosing protocol for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared with a standard protocol.
Background: Risk stratification of patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains challenging.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria for risk stratification of RBBB patients undergoing TAVI.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed prospectively enrolled patients with preexisting RBBB undergoing TAVI between 2011 and 2023.
