Background: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is associated with a significant reduction in morbimortality. The convergent procedure is a valid ablation option for the treatment of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Aim: To describe the outcomes of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation who underwent the convergent procedure.
Article Synopsis
- The pilot study aimed to evaluate how 3D printed models of lung anatomy affect surgeons' mental workload and fatigue during thoracoscopic segmentectomy procedures.
- It included 102 patients, with 34 being analyzed after random assignment to either a digital-only group or a digital-plus-3D-printed group; outcomes showed no significant differences in workload between the two.
- Findings indicated that when 3D printed models were available, surgeons consulted the digital model less frequently, yet both groups reported high mental workload on the NASA-TLX scale, emphasizing the challenges faced during surgeries.
Background: The strategy for atrial fibrillation ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation remains controversial. A single-catheter approach was recently validated for pulmonary vein isolation.
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of this approach to performing persistent atrial fibrillation ablation, including pulmonary vein isolation and atrial lines, if needed.
Background: The success rate of cavotricuspid isthmus ablation to treat right common flutter is high (up to 95%), but needs bidirectional block confirmation, requiring two or three catheters.
Aim: To describe a new pacing technique using a single catheter to ablate and confirm cavotricuspid isthmus block with differential PR interval measurements.
Methods: We included 61 patients from five centres, who were referred for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation.
Sudden cardiac arrest: ECG repolarization after resuscitation.

Introduction: Early repolarization (ERep) abnormalities on electrocardiogram (ECG) are common immediately following cardiac arrest. We characterized and correlated electrocardiographic repolarization abnormalities immediately after cardiac arrest with acute coronary angiography.
Methods And Results: We studied 225 consecutive patients presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
