Efficacy of the peak frequency map for left atrial posterior wall isolation.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol

Introduction: Complete isolation of the left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) is challenging owing to overlapping epicardial conduction. Peak frequency (PF) is a novel parameter that focuses on near- and far-field electrogram components. In this study, we aimed to determine whether transmural block completion is related to the ablation site PF.

- Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) can return even after successful ablation of the slow pathway, prompting a study on recurrence reasons in 46 patients.
- The study found that while many patients initially had successful RF ablation targeting the rightward inferior extension (RIE), some still experienced recurrent AVNRT, with various types showing up in follow-up cases.
- Most recurrences were treated successfully again within the RIE area, and notably, the new successful ablation sites were often higher than where the initial procedure targeted.
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) represents a remarkable disease burden in Japan, and the cost-effectiveness of pharmacotherapy is an important consideration. In this study, we compared the long-term effects of the type of initial medication, as well as the initial frequency of clinic visits, on the occurrence of T2D-related complications. Additionally, we compared the medical costs associated with each treatment pattern.
