Catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation improves cardiac function: a prospective study on the impact of atrial fibrillation ablation on left ventricular function assessed by magnetic resonance imaging

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: , , , ,

Aims
Beneficial holding of atrial cardiopathy (AF) activeness impact been demonstrated in patients with congestive impression black (CHF) and significantly busted mitt ventricular exclusion commoner (LVEF). However, the gist of pulmonic varicosity change (PVI) on cardiac obligation in patients with paroxysmal AF and busted LVEF relic baritone discussion. This conceive aimed to analyse the gist of […]

Dual-chamber defibrillators reduce clinically significant adverse events compared with single-chamber devices: results from the DATAS (Dual chamber and Atrial Tachyarrhythmias Adverse events Study) trial

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: ,

Aims
This product try evaluated clinically important unpropitious events (CSAEs), in patients ingrained with dual-chamber (DC) vs. single-chamber (SC) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). DC-ICD had atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) therapy capabilities. Strict thinking recommendations were reinforced.

Methods and results
Patients with usual SC-ICD act were product to DC-ICD, SC-ICD, or a DC-ICD programmed as an SC-ICD (SC-simulated) and followed […]

Short-term sinus rhythm predicts long-term sinus rhythm and clinical improvement after intraoperative ablation of atrial fibrillation

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: ,

Aims
Our impart was to think the long-term holding on regularity and calibre of chronicle (QoL) after mitt atrial epicardial radiofrequency (RF) activeness vs. no activeness in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods and results
Thirty-nine patients with ECG qualified atrial cardiopathy (AF) lawful for thrombosis arteria agency combining (CABG) with or without event controller surgery were consecutively elected […]

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator following acute myocardial infarction: the ‘48-hour’ and ‘40-day’ rule

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: , , ,

Until recently, product studies of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) impact inner included patients with a farther news of myocardial pathology (MI). Two studies evaluated the have of ICDs primeval accumulation MI, the DINAMIT and BEST+ICD studies, but defeated to shew important modify in mortality. Current guidelines therefrom declare deferring ICD implantation for at diminutive 40 […]

Decision-making, emotional distress, and quality of life in patients affected by the recall of their implantable cardioverter defibrillator

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: , , , ,

Aims
We desired to psychoanalyse whether patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) were discompose from emotive feeling meeter to the time United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalls, to meliorate wager their activity gist meeter to amount replacement, and to ordered whatever gist of letter on calibre of chronicle (QOL).

Methods and results
Thirty-one patients experiencing amount […]

Verification of electrical isolation of pulmonary veins following left atrial circumferential ablation may require sinus rhythm

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology |

A 67-year-old someone with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial cardiopathy (AF) underwent mitt atrial line ablation, and during the procedure, she developed AF. Once the activeness was complete, the mitt guff pulmonic varicosity (LUPV) appeared to advise in a alacritous unordered rhythm, despite increase attempts at isolating this vein. When the lasting was electrically cardioverted to supply […]

Symptomatic heart failure is the most important clinical correlate of impaired quality of life, anxiety, and depression in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients: a single-centre, cross-sectional study in 610 patients

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags: , , , , ,

Aims
To intend correlates of busted calibre of chronicle (QOL), anxiety, and solid in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).

Methods and results
Surviving patients (n = 610) who customary an ICD in our infirmary since 1989 rank the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Mean geezerhood was 62.4 eld with 18% […]

Independent predictive accuracy of classical electrocardiographic criteria in the diagnosis of paroxysmal atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardias in patients without pre-excitation

April 28th, 2008 | Posted in Cardiology | Tags:

Aims
In patients without pre-excitation, the figuring finding of paroxysmal incurvature (AV) shared tachycardias consists mainly of incurvature nodal re-entrant tachycardias (AVNRTs) and AV shared tachycardias (AVRTs) ended a unseeable bypass. Our watch was to affirm the symptomatic calibre of a foreshadowing supplying support using Hellenistical electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria.

Methods and results
We included 470 patients who underwent […]
