Ablate and pace strategy for atrial fibrillation: pacing modalities, ablation approaches and impact on patient outcomes.
Expert Rev Med Devices
January 2025
Cardiology Unit, "Card. G. Panico" Hospital, Tricase (Le), Italy.
Introduction: In patients with symptomatic, refractory atrial fibrillation the ablate and pace (A&P) strategy (pacemaker implantation followed by atrio-ventricular junction ablation (AVJA)) is superior to medical therapy in improving quality of life and prognosis. Despite its well-proven benefits, this invasive therapeutic option is still underutilized in clinical practice. The choice of pacing modality (right ventricular pacing, biventricular pacing, BVP, or conduction system pacing, CSP) is crucial and can have significant clinical implications.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a complex condition with various hemodynamic subtypes, each with distinct clinical profiles and outcomes. This study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of different AS phenotypes based on flow and gradient patterns.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included 930 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe symptomatic AS at Mayo Clinic sites from 2012-2017.
Severe Reversible Heart Failure Enhanced by Sorafenib Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Cureus

Medical Oncology, Instituto Português de Oncologia de Coimbra Francisco Gentil, Coimbra, PRT.
The multitarget oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib is an effective first-line treatment option in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Through its mechanism of action, it has been associated with cardiotoxicity, mainly hypertension, which is usually low-grade and well-managed with behavioral changes and antihypertensor treatment adjustment, if needed. Acute, symptomatic heart failure is rarely described.

: The physiological basis underlying symptomatic versus asymptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) remains poorly understood. However, symptomatic PVCs can significantly impair quality of life. In patients without structural heart disease, symptom intensity is crucial for guiding management strategies and determining the need for medical or surgical intervention.

Clinic of Internal Medicine II, Department of Cardiology, Paracelsus Medical University of Salzburg, 5020 Salzburg, Austria.
Right ventricular pacing is an effective and safe treatment option for patients experiencing symptomatic bradycardia. However, some individuals may develop left ventricular dysfunction as a consequence. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), which is not present in a healthy adult heart, is upregulated in cardiomyocytes in response to various stress stimuli.
