Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the success and outcomes of electroanatomical-guided cardioneuroablation (EACNA) in treating patients with vagally induced atrioventricular blocks (VAVBs).
- The results showed a high acute procedural success rate of 96.2%, but 14% of patients experienced recurrence of AVB or new syncopal episodes during a follow-up period of approximately 300 days.
- The findings suggest that EACNA is a promising option for patients with VAVB, but further research is needed to explore its effects on daytime symptom burden.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared patients who upgraded to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) from previous devices versus those receiving CRT for the first time (de novo).
- Out of over 11,000 patients, about 23% were upgrades, showing that upgraded patients were generally older and had more serious health issues like heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
- Although upgraded patients faced worse symptoms and conditions, their CRT procedures had similar success rates and complications as de novo patients, highlighting a need for more research in this area.
