BACKGROUND: The CASTLE-HTx trial demonstrated the benefit of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation compared to medical therapy in decreasing mortality, need for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation or heart transplantation (HTx) in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this analysis was to identify risk factors related to adverse outcomes in patients with end-stage HF and to assess the impact of ablation. METHODS: The CASTLE-HTx protocol randomized 194 patients with end-stage HF and AF to ablation versus medical therapy...

BACKGROUND: Data on the prognostic significance of temporal variability of spatial heterogeneity of electrocardiographic repolarization in coronary artery disease (CAD) are limited. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of temporal variability of T-wave morphology analyzed from a 5-minute resting electrocardiogram in CAD. METHODS: The standard deviation (SD) of T-wave morphology dispersion (TMD-SD) and the SD of total cosine R-to-T were analyzed on a beat-to-beat basis from a 5-minute period of the standard resting 12-lead electrocardiogram obtained before the clinical stress test in 1702 patients with angiographically verified CAD and well-preserved left ventricular function...

BACKGROUND: The 2014 HRS consensus statement defines histological (definite) and clinical (probable) diagnostic categories of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), but few studies have compared their arrhythmic phenotypes and outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the electrophysiologic/arrhythmic phenotype and outcomes of patients with definite and probable CS. METHODS: We analyzed the arrhythmic/electrophysiologic phenotype in a single-center North American cohort of 388 patients (median age 56 years, 39% female) diagnosed with definite (n=58) or probable (n=330) CS (2000-2022)...

BACKGROUND: The CONVERGE trial demonstrated that hybrid epicardial and endocardial ablation was more effective than catheter ablation for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation at 1 year. Long term real-world outcomes data are scarce. OBJECTIVE: We describe a single center experience by evaluating the long-term effectiveness and safety of hybrid epicardial-endocardial ablation. METHODS: This is a retrospective single center study. Patients were followed up to 4 years...

BACKGROUND: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) may cause sudden cardiac death (SCD) despite medical therapy. Therefore, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are commonly advised. However, there are limited data on the outcomes of ICD use in children. OBJECTIVE: To compare the risk of arrhythmic events in pediatric CPVT patients with and without ICDs. METHODS: We compared the risk of SCD in RYR2 variant and phenotype positive symptomatic CPVT patients with and without ICDs, who were <19 years of age and had no history of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) at phenotype diagnosis...

BACKGROUND: The aorta-mitral annulus conjunction (AMC) is uncommon site of origin of focal atrial tachycardias (AT). Hence, the electrophysiological and ablation target characteristics are poorly described. OBJECTIVE: To describe the characteristics of AMC AT in detail. METHODS: The study enrolled 650 patients with AT, 21 (3.2%) of whom had AT originating from AMC. A comprehensive evaluation, including electrocardiography, electrophysiologic study, CT scan, and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) was performed...

BACKGROUND: One common mode of lead failure is insulation breach which may result in myopotential noise and device malfunction. "Pseudo-unipolarization" of bipolar pacing stimuli, as observed from a routine 12-lead ECG due to stimulus current leak has been observed with insulation breaches. OBJECTIVE: We sought to characterize this ECG finding to detect lead this type of lead malfunction. METHODS: 138 transvenous leads were analyzed, including 88 with known malfunction and 50 normal leads...

BACKGROUND: Leadless pacemakers have emerged as a promising alternative to transvenous pacemakers in patients with kidney disease. However, studies investigating leadless pacemaker outcomes and complications based on kidney dysfunction are limited. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with inpatient complications and outcomes of leadless pacemaker implantations. METHODS: National Inpatient Sample and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes were used to identify CKD and ESRD patients who underwent leadless pacemaker implantations in the U...

BACKGROUND: Ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) originating from the parahisian area is challenging. Late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) scar may influence procedural outcomes; the impact of cardiac scar on parahisian PVCs has not been described. OBJECTIVE: To examine the incidence and significance of LGE-CMR scaring among patients undergoing ablation for parahisian PVCs. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent pre-procedure LGE-CMR imaging and ablation of parahisian PVCs were included...
