Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a fluoroless Cardioneuroablation (CNA) approach in treating cardiac issues like syncope and AV block among 22 young patients (average age 21).
- The procedure successfully eliminated or reduced the vagal response in all patients, with an average operation time of 251 minutes and fluoroscopy avoided in 91% of cases.
- At follow-up (around 11.4 months later), 77% of patients were symptom-free, with 90% of those needing pacemakers not requiring further pacing, indicating a promising outcome without complications.
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) typically have septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract gradient, usually present at rest with increase under certain hemodynamic conditions. We report 2 cases of HCM in which there was subtle septal hypertrophy; the gradient was detected only postprandially, highlighting the importance of considering postprandial imaging in patients with suspected HCM.

Background: Age-stratified analyses of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are limited. The purpose of current study was to compare in-hospital outcomes in elderly AF patients (age > 80 years) to a relatively younger cohort (age £ 80 years) after LAAO.
Methods: Data were extracted from National Inpatient Sample for calendar years 2015-2018.
