Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of AI-guided catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to traditional non-AI-guided methods.
- Results showed that AI-guided ablation resulted in significantly shorter procedural times, higher rates of successful isolation of pulmonary veins, and fewer occurrences of AF relapse post-procedure.
- Both approaches had similar complication rates, suggesting AI-guided ablation enhances efficacy without increasing risks.
Aims: Transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure. We sought to characterize the structural and functional echocardiographic phenotype across the spectrum of wild-type (wtATTR-CM) and hereditary (hATTR-CM) transthyretin cardiomyopathy and the echocardiographic features predicting prognosis.
Methods And Results: We studied 1240 patients with ATTR-CM who underwent prospective protocolized evaluations comprising full echocardiographic assessment and survival between 2000 and 2019, comprising 766 with wtATTR-CM and 474 with hATTR-CM, of whom 314 had the V122I variant and 127 the T60A variant.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a growing public health issue, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In addition to pharmacological therapy, catheter ablation is an effective strategy in restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm. However, ablation is not without risk, and AF recurs in a significant proportion of patients.

Circulating biomarkers may help identify these patients. We aimed to assess the predictive role of full blood count (FBC) parameters in prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients undergoing CRT device implantation.

Article Synopsis
- - Atherosclerosis, a condition linked to chronic inflammation and cardiovascular disease (CVD), may be influenced by dietary choices, notably the Mediterranean Diet which includes extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
- - The review article summarizes research showing that EVOO consumption correlates with lower levels of inflammation and reduced rates of CVD and related health problems, primarily due to its high polyphenol content.
- - While there is evidence supporting the benefits of EVOO for heart health, more randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these effects, particularly concerning its role in secondary prevention and determining the optimal intake levels for health benefits.
Article Synopsis
- Dual-site right ventricular pacing (Dual RV) was studied as an alternative for heart failure patients where the coronary sinus lead could not be implanted during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
- A 12-year retrospective assessment showed that patients using Dual RV had a higher rate of all-cause mortality or heart transplant compared to matched controls, indicating poorer long-term outcomes.
- The use of Dual RV also led to significantly more cardiac device-related infections, suggesting it is less favorable than traditional CRT methods.
