Multimodality Approach in the Treatment of an Arrhythmic Storm
Anno:
2025
A 74-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease was admitted to the hospital following the acute onset of palpitations and dizziness. She had an ICD implanted 5 years earlier for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ischemic cardiomyopathy with reduced left ventricular…
Ethanol ablation of left ventricular summit in a patient with repaired congenital heart disease: when the going gets though
Anno:
2025
A 22 years old young man with transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, repaired by previous Rastelli-type operation, showed up to our emergency department (ED) because of arrhythmic storm. Then, s-ICD had been implanted for secondary prevention, reaching clinical stability after two ablations and the addition…
ANTICOAGULATION IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A SINGLE-CENTRE EXPERIENCE.
Anno:
2025
Rationale and aim Based on latest European guidelines, all patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) should receive anticoagulant therapy irrespective of their thrombotic risk measured by CHA2DS2-VA score (CHA2DS2-VASc score before 2024 guidelines). The aim of our study was to assess the implementation and type of…
BRADYARRHYTHMIAS IN PATIENTS WITH CRYPTOGENETIC STROKE IMPLANTED WITH LOOP RECORDER
Anno:
2025
Implantable loop recorder (ILR) can be used to detect subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined origin (ESUS). In literature the incidence of AF is about 18% with a risk of recurrence of stroke in antiplatelet therapy of 4.5%. ESUS is a severely disabling stroke with high mortality rate.To improve the…
HEALTH LITERACY AND ITS IMPACT ON OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY
Anno:
2025
Background: Health literacy (HL) is a risk factor for clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. This study explored HL levels and their impact, alongside clinical and nursing factors, on mortality, hospital readmissions, and emergency department (ED) visits in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A prospective cohort study was…
CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE DEVICES IN A PEDIATRIC POPULATION WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTRABECULATION: A SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2025
Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation (LVHT) is a myocardial disorder characterized by abnormal trabeculations in the left ventricular lumen and deep intertrabecular recesses; this phenotypic trait can occur either in isolation or in association with other conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, dilation, systolic/diastolic dysfunction or congenital heart defects. In recent…
EFFECTIVENESS OF PERCUTANEOUS STELLATE GANGLION BLOCKADE IN THE TREATMENT OF ARRHYTHMIC STORM. ROLE OF THE UNDERLYING HEART DISEASE.
Anno:
2025
Introduction   The sympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in the genesis and maintenance of ventricular arrhythmias, which are frequently observed in patients with various types of heart disease. Percutaneous stellate ganglion blockade (PSGB) has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for managing arrhythmic storm….
Atrial Fibrillation Treatment: Efficacy of Early vs. Delayed Catheter Ablation. A Meta-Analysis Based on Observational Studies.
Anno:
2025
Background: The optimal timing for catheter ablation (CA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain. Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether early catheter ablation (within 1 year of diagnosis) compared to delayed catheter ablation (≥1 year) is associated with a lower rate of arrhythmia recurrence. Methods: Following…
CARDIONEUROABLATION IN A YOUNG PATIENT WITH THIRD-DEGREE ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a transcatheter ablation technique targeting atrial parasympathetic ganglia to reduce vagal response in conditions like vaso-vagal syncope and functional atrioventricular block (AVB). Differentiating between vagal hypertonia and intrinsic conduction system damage is essential before considering CNA. In cases of intermittent bradycardia and AVB that improve…
Catheter Ablation of Premature Ventricular Beats Originating from Left Ventricular Summit in a Patient with Primary Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Anno:
2025
Introduction Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are frequently benign. However, a high arrhythmic burden can lead to the deterioration of left ventricular systolic function, resulting in newly developed cardiomyopathy or worsening of pre-existing cardiopathy. 2022 ESC guidelines for the management of ventricular arrhythmias recommend catheter ablation as class I treatment…
