Background And Aims: Prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are not recommended until left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been reassessed 40 to 90 days after an acute myocardial infarction. In the current therapeutic era, the prognosis of sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) occurring during this early post-infarction phase (i.e.

- This study looked at patients who had a special heart valve surgery called TAVI to see what might lead them to need a pacemaker afterward.
- They found that having certain heart conditions, using a specific type of valve called the Medtronic CoreValve, and larger heart devices increased the chance of needing a pacemaker.
- By checking some heart measurements before surgery, doctors could predict which patients might need a pacemaker during or after their TAVI procedure.
Purpose Of The Research: To study the influence of age on the clinical presentation and long-term outcome of patients referred for atrial flutter (AFL) ablation. Age-related differences have been reported regarding the prognosis of arrhythmias.
Methods: A total of 1187 patients with a mean age 65±12 years consecutively referred for AFL ablation were retrospectively analyzed in the study.
