CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Introduction: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common ECG findings in children with structurally normal hearts and usually follow a benign, self-limiting course. Evidence shows frequent spontaneous resolution, although high PVC burden may induce ventricular dyssynchrony and reversible LV dysfunction. This review, developed with the support of the AIAC Working…

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced extracorporeal life support technique increasingly used in patients with severe cardiac and/or respiratory failure, particularly in cases of cardiogenic shock and refractory cardiac arrest. The effectiveness of ECMO is strongly influenced by the organization, expertise, and integration of the multidisciplinary team involved…

Introduction Slow pathway ablation is currently the target for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with a high success rate. Kock triangle (KT) mapping is helpful to define the fast pathway location. We aimed to describe the KT mapping by means of electroanatomic (EA) local activation mapping (LAT) technique of…

Background The rise in cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures necessitates timely management of pocket-site complications, where nursing care is crucial. This study assessed the incidence of major surgical site complications and identified their associated risk factors within our center’s clinical practice. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study…

Background: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a standard treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) facing high risks of both thromboembolism and bleeding. The procedure is performed via a femoral venous approach, guided by intracardiac or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Essential to successful outcomes are nursing management focused on…
