Safety and efficacy of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, 222 Zhongshan Rd Dalian, Liaoning, Liaoning, 116011, China.
Purpose: Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) has shown promising results in reducing mortality and improving heart function. However, previous studies have been limited by a lack of control groups and significant heterogeneity in their methodologies.
Hypothesis: CA for AF in HFPEF patients may not increase the complications and had similarly the rate of freedom from AF vs.
Comparing Midline and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters-A Randomized Feasibility Trial.
Hosp Pediatr
January 2025
School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Objectives: The most effective use of midline catheters in children is not understood. We aimed to (1) test the feasibility of a trial comparing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) to midline catheters in hospitalized children in need of durable vascular access and (2) collect preliminary effectiveness data of the 2 devices.
Methods: Our study combined a single site, randomized controlled feasibility trial (RCT, primary study) and a prospective observational study (alternative study) comparing PICCs to midline catheters.
Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter in a Contemporary Cohort of Patients With Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Cardiovascular Medicine Division, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Literature on the prevalence and management of atrial arrhythmias in patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy type 1 (MMD1) or myotonic muscular dystrophy type 2 (MMD2) is limited.
Objectives: This study sought to describe incidence, prevalence, and predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) in a contemporary cohort of patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD).
Methods: Associations between patient factors and incident AF/AFL were analyzed in patients with MMD referred for routine electrophysiology evaluation between January 2013 and September 2023.
[Role of ventricular tachycardia ablation in patients with systolic heart failure].
Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol

Patients with systolic heart failure (HF) and structural heart disease often suffer from ventricular tachycardias (VTs), which lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Despite advancements in pharmacological therapy and the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, treatment options are limited due to side effects and decreased effectiveness. Catheter ablation (CA) has emerged as a promising therapy for drug-refractory VTs, especially in patients with structural heart disease.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack, New Jersey, USA.
Background: Patients with prior history of chest or mediastinal radiation are deemed high risk for surgical AVR. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a promising alternative for these patients, however, this patient population was underrepresented in prior TAVR trials.
Aims: To compare the outcomes of TAVR in patients with versus without a history of prior chest or mediastinal radiation.
