Background: There are no randomized studies comparing the maintenance of sinus rhythm after catheter ablation (CA) concerning treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs (AA) in elderly patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objectives: To compare the clinical results of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation with the second-generation PVAC Gold catheter against AA treatment in elderly people with recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal AF, refractory to at least one AA, and without structural heart disease.
Methods: Sixty patients with paroxysmal AF ≥ 65 years old were randomized to two forms of treatment: group 1: CA and group 2: AA drugs.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explores the effectiveness of personalized 3D-printed models of fetal hearts compared to traditional 2D images in helping parents understand congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosed during pregnancy.
- - Pregnant women with fetuses diagnosed with CHD were split into two groups: one received standard counseling with 2D visuals, while the other received advanced counseling with customized 3D printed heart models created from 3D ultrasound data.
- - Results showed that parents who viewed 3D models had a better understanding of CHD and expressed a desire for their own 1:1 scale heart model, highlighting the benefits of using 3D technology for informed parental decision-making regarding their child's care.

- Managing perinatal HIV in preterm infants is challenging due to limited evidence on the best antiretroviral treatments for these at-risk newborns.
- This case highlights an extremely preterm infant with HIV who was started on a 3-drug antiretroviral regimen right away.
- The treatment led to stable suppression of the infant's HIV plasma viral load, showing a potential approach for future cases.
