Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates changes in skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) in patients undergoing catheter ablation for idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia (VA).
  • Researchers monitored 43 patients' SKNA before and after the ablation procedure to assess neuromodulation effects.
  • Results showed that patients whose ablation was successful had lower post-ablation SKNA compared to those with failed procedures, particularly those whose arrhythmias involved the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).

Article Synopsis
  • Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a treatment for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), but the long-term effectiveness of this procedure is not well-documented, prompting a study of its 10-year outcomes in patients.* -
  • The study involved 100 patients with non-paroxysmal AF who underwent RFCA, showing that after about 10 years, only 16% were in sinus rhythm with one procedure, while 53% maintained rhythm with multiple procedures and some on medication.* -
  • Key predictors for recurring arrhythmia included enlarged left atrial size, presence of non-pulmonary vein triggers, and whether patients underwent complex fractionated atrial electrogram (C
