Background: The results of pulmonary vein isolation are limited by arrhythmia recurrence, which is most often due to a failure to effectuate a durable contiguous circumferential transmural lesion around the pulmonary vein (PV) ostia. We postulated that enhancing the index ablation line through use of multiple cryoballoon diameters would be superior to standard ablation with bonus freeze.
Methods: We enrolled 226 consecutive patients referred for cryoballoon-based PV isolation (PVI).
The Southern Brazilian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation (SBR-AF Registry): Predictors of Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence after First-Time Catheter Ablation.

Serviço de Arritmia Cardíaca, Hospital SOS Cardio, Florianópolis, SC - Brasil.
Background: Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with catheter ablation (CA) has evolved significantly. However, real-world data on long-term outcomes are limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Objective: This multicenter prospective cohort of consecutive patients aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-time CA for AF in Southern Brazil from 2009 to 2024.
Predicting the Propensity of Atrial Cardiopathy and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS).

Background: There is still a significant population of patients with embolic stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) whose specific attributable cause of the stroke remains unknown.
Objectives: Our research aimed to assess clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters that may predict the propensity of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
Methods: We enrolled seventy-five ESUS patients who were in sinus rhythm at the time of stroke diagnosis to undergo in-hospital 7-day Holter monitoring, testing for Pro-BNP, and a standard echocardiographic examination.
"Breaking the Bleed" Spontaneous Hemorrhage in an Emphysematous Bulla Complicated by Anticoagulation: A Case Report.

Internal Medicine, Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center, Toledo, USA.
We present a case of spontaneous hemorrhage in an emphysematous bulla, complicated by anticoagulation. Bullous emphysema is a well-recognized complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a rare manifestation is hemorrhage into preexisting pulmonary bullae. A 69-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with hemoptysis, shortness of breath, and productive cough.

Department of Community Medicine, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) often coexist and impact morbidity and mortality. There is limited knowledge on the association of AF subtypes with HF according to sex.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore sex-specific associations between AF subtypes and subsequent HF, identifying HF risk factors in participants with AF, and exploring the combined impact on mortality.
