Direct sinus node electrography has been previously used to assess several aspects of sinus node physiology: sinus node pauses, overdrive suppression, sinoatrial entrance block. This report presents data in which sinus node electrograms confirm two additional physiologic phenomena in man: concealed conduction in the sinoatrial junction and sinus node reentry. These findings verify the presence of previously suspected phenomena by careful deductive analysis of electrocardiographic and electrographic tracings.

First-in-Human Helical-Fixation Leadless Pacemaker in the Left Atrium for D-Transposition With Atrial Switch Procedure.
JACC Case Rep
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Electrophysiology Section, Adult Congenital Arrhythmia Clinic, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Background: The atrial switch procedure is accompanied by a very high rate of sinus node dysfunction. Baffle stenosis is a common problem with transvenous pacemaker leads in this scenario.
Case Summary: We present a first-in-human case of a leadless pacer (LP) in the left atrium in a patient with prior atrial switch for transposition and sinus node dysfunction complicated by multiple abandoned leads, superior baffle occlusion, and failed extraction.

Due to a lack of anatomical studies utilizing female specimens, it is unclear how the nociceptive innervation of the mouse heart compares between sexes. To address this, flat-mount preparations of the left and right atria of male and female mice were immunohistochemically labeled for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP, a common marker for nociceptive nerves), imaged, and digitally traced in high quality. The results show that 1) A network of CGRP-IR axons densely innervated the right and left atria.

January 2025
Department of Cardiology, General Regional Hospital "F. Miulli", Bari, Italy.
Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a new approach to treat reflex syncope and functional bradyarrhytmias caused by autonomic imbalance. We report our experience using CNA.
Method: From September 2022 to July 2023, we took care of 21 patients (mean age 42 ± 21 years; 62% male) affected by reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhythmias.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of posterior lateral perforator flap in lower limb combined with free fibula for maxillary tissue defect repair.
Methods: Between December 2018 and December 2023, 16 patients with the maxillary malignant tumors were admitted. There were 10 males and 6 females, with an average age of 64.
Results of ICE-Guided Isolation of the Superior Vena Cava With Pulsed Field Ablation.

Background: Earlier studies have documented the risk for sinoatrial node injury and phrenic nerve paralysis as complications following radiofrequency catheter ablation for electrical isolation of the superior vena cava (SVCI).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of SVCI in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing pulsed field ablation (PFA) METHODS: Six hundred sixteen consecutive patients undergoing PFA for pulmonary vein isolation plus SVCI were included in this multicenter analysis. Superior vena cava (SVC) ablation was performed under the continuous guidance of intracardiac echocardiography.
