Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand the real-world adoption and outcomes of conduction system pacing (CSP), specifically His bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), through an online survey conducted from November 2020 to February 2021.
- Out of 140 institutions across five continents, 127 reported experience with CSP lead implantation, revealing low but increasing adoption rates of CSP compared to traditional pacing methods in 2019.
- The study concluded that while CSP lead implantation is growing in popularity, it is not yet the standard practice at many institutions, indicating a need for further education and promotion of this technique.
Anticoagulation to reduce thromboembolic stroke risk due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in ESKD is associated with increased bleeding. There is an existing debate in ESKD centers around the pros and cons of anticoagulation. We propose percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion as a third alternative to balance thrombosis and bleeding risks in this high-risk population.

However, factors associated with the development of MACE in symptomatic women with non-obstructive CAD on coronary CTA have not been fully elucidated. We sought to examine the influence of risk factors and coronary artery calcification on MACE in symptomatic women with non-obstructive CAD on coronary CTA.

Study Question: What is the safety and efficacy of DOACs in the management of LVT compared with warfarin?
Data Source: Randomized clinical trials and cohort studies in the MEDLINE and Cochrane databases from inception till April 4, 2021.
Study Design: The present analysis is a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mapping and Ablation of Ventricle Arrhythmia in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices.
Card Electrophysiol Clin
December 2019
Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) constitute well-known problems in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), with incidence ranging from 18% to as high as 52%. Catheter ablation has become a common therapeutic intervention to treat drug-refractory VA, particularly with the increase and more widespread use of durable LVADs to bridge patients to transplantation or as destination therapy. In this article, we focus on etiology, mechanisms, periprocedural management, and mapping and ablation techniques in patients with LVADs and VA.

In recent years, a considerable amount of research has been published with regard to using HBP to treat congestive heart failure (CHF) and this article presents a concise yet comprehensive review of this literature.
Recent Findings: Studies have demonstrated that HBP is useful for CHF patients who are non-responders to biventricular pacing (BiVP) or have a history of previously failed coronary sinus lead placement, right/left bundle branch block cardiomyopathy, or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.
Subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is one of the common adult congenital heart diseases, with a prevalence of 6.5%. It is usually diagnosed in the first decade of life.
