RESUMEN

AIMS: Left atrial appendage (LAA) imaging is critical during percutaneous occlusion procedures. 3D-intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) features direct visualization of LAA from multiple cross-sectional planes at a time. We aimed at reporting procedural success of 3D-ICE-guided LAA occlusion and the correlation between pre-procedural transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and intraprocedural 3D-ICE for LAA sizing. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 274 patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with a Watchman FLX, periprocedural ICE guidance was achieved via a commercially available 2D-ICE catheter (220 patients) or a novel (NUVISION™) 3D-ICE one (54 patients). Primary endpoint was a composite of procedural success and LAA sealing at follow-up TEE. Secondary endpoint was a composite of periprocedural device recapture/resizing plus presence of leaks ≥ 3 mm at follow-up TEE. 3D-ICE measurements of maximum landing zone correlated highly with pre-procedural TEE reference values [Pearson's: 0.94; P < 0.001; bias: -0.06 (-2.39, 2.27)]. The agreement between 3D-ICE-based device selection and final device size was 96.3% vs. 79.1% with 2D-ICE (P = 0.005). The incidence of the primary endpoint was 98.1% with 3D-ICE and 97.3% with 2D-ICE (P = 0.99). 2D-ICE patients had a trend towards a higher incidence of periprocedural device recapture/redeployment (31.5% vs. 44.5%; P = 0.09). The secondary endpoint occurred in 31.5% of 3D-ICE patients vs. 45.9% of 2D-ICE ones (P = 0.065). CONCLUSION: Intracardiac echocardiography-guided LAAO showed a very high success, with no major adverse events. A very high level of agreement for LAA sizing was found between pre-procedural TEE and periprocedural 3D-ICE. 3D-ICE performed significantly better than 2D-ICE for FLX size selection and may provide better guidance during device deployment.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel, non-thermal energy source to selectively ablate cardiac tissue. We describe a multicentre experience on pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) via the pentaspline Farapulse™ PFA system vs. thermal-based technologies in a propensity score-matched population of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Propensity score matching was adopted to compare PVI-only ablation outcomes via the Farawave™ system (Group PFA), cryoballoon (Group CRYO), or focal radiofrequency (Group RF) (PFA:CRYO:RF ratio = 1:2:2). Among 1572 (mean age: 62.4 ± 11.3 years; 42.5% females) PAF patients undergoing first time PVI with either PFA (n = 174), CRYO (n = 655), or RF (n = 743), propensity score matching yielded 174 PFA, 348 CRYO, and 348 RF patients. First-pass isolation was achieved in 98.8% of pulmonary veins (PVs) with PFA, 81.5% with CRYO, and 73.1% with RF (P < 0.001). Procedural and dwell times were significantly shorter with PFA, whereas the availability of a 3D mapping system led to a significant reduction in X-ray exposure with RF. Overall complication rates were 3.4% (n = 6) with PFA, 8.6% (n = 30) with CRYO, and 5.5% (n = 19) with RF (P = 0.052). The 1-year Kaplan-Meier estimated freedom from any atrial tachyarrhythmia was 79.3% with PFA, 74.7% with CRYO, and 72.4% with RF (log-rank P-value: 0.24). Among 145 repeat ablation procedures, PV reconnection rate was 19.1% after PFA, 27.5% after CRYO, and 34.8% after RF (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Pulsed field ablation contributed to significantly shorter procedural times. Follow-up data showed a similar arrhythmia freedom, although a higher rate of PV reconnection was documented in post-CRYO and post-RF redo procedures.

RESUMEN

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for a substantial proportion of mortality in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), frequently triggered by ventricular arrhythmias (VA). This review aims to analyze the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying VA and SCD in HFrEF and evaluate the effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in reducing SCD. Beta-blockers, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have shown significant efficacy in reducing SCD risk. While angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers exert beneficial impacts on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, their direct role in SCD prevention remains less clear. Emerging treatments like sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors show promise but necessitate further research for conclusive evidence. The favorable outcomes of those molecules on VA are notably attributable to sympathetic nervous system modulation, structural remodeling attenuation, and ion channel stabilization. A multidimensional pharmacological approach targeting those pathophysiological mechanisms offers a complete and synergy approach to reducing SCD risk, thereby highlighting the importance of optimizing GDMT for HFrEF. The current landscape of HFrEF pharmacotherapy is evolving, with ongoing research needed to clarify the full extent of the anti-arrhythmic benefits offered by both existing and new treatments.

RESUMEN

Catheter ablation of septal ventricular tachycardia (VT) is challenging. Pulsed field ablation is a promising technology, potentially reaching deep substrates. We report the first sequential unipolar biventricular pulsed field ablation targeting refractory septal VT. Besides, we illustrate the importance of searching underlying cardiomyopathy in patients with recurrent multiple morphology VTs and normal magnetic resonance imaging.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation has become an established treatment option for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). The use of fluoroscopy exposes patients and medical staff to potentially harmful stochastic and deterministic effects of ionizing radiations. We sought to analyze procedural outcomes in terms of safety and efficacy using a "zero fluoroscopy" approach for catheter ablation of PVCs. METHODS: The present retrospective, multicenter, observational study included 131 patients having undergone catheter ablation of PVCs using "zero fluoroscopy" between 2019 and 2020 in four centers compared with another group who underwent the procedure with fluoroscopy. RESULTS: Median age was 51.0 ± 15.9 years old; males were 77 (58.8%). Among the study population, 26 (19.8%) had a cardiomyopathy. The most frequent PVC origin was right ventricular outflow tract (55%) followed by the left ventricle (16%), LVOT and cusps (13.7%), and aortomitral continuity (5.3%). Acute suppression of PVC was achieved in 127 patients (96.9%). At 12 months, a complete success was documented in 109 patients (83.2%), a reduction in PVC burden in 18 patients (13.7%), and a failure was recorded in four patients (3.1%). Only two minor complications occurred (femoral hematoma and arteriovenous fistula conservatively treated). CONCLUSIONS: The PVC ablation with a "zero" fluoroscopy approach appears to be a safe procedure with no major complications and good rates of success and recurrence in our multicenter experience.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cardiac ablation is a well-established method for treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal therapeutic alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoballoon ablation (CRYO). PFA uses high-voltage electric pulses to target cells. The present analysis aims to quantify the costs, outcomes, and resources associated with these three ablation strategies for paroxysmal AF. METHODS: Real-world clinical data were prospectively collected during index hospitalization by three European medical centers (Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands) specialized in cardiac ablation. These data included procedure times (pre-procedural, skin-to-skin and post-procedural), resource use, and staff burden. Data regarding complications associated with each of the three treatment options and redo procedures were extracted from the literature. Costs were collected from hospital economic formularies and published cost databases. A cost-consequence model from the hospital perspective was built to estimate the impact of the three treatment options in terms of effectiveness and costs. RESULTS: Across the three centers, N = 91 patients were included over a period of 12 months. A significant difference was seen in pre-procedural time (mean ± SD, PFA: 13.6 ± 3.7 min, CRYO: 18.8 ± 6.6 min, RFA: 20.4 ± 6.4 min; p < .001). Procedural time (skin-to-skin) was also different across alternatives (PFA: 50.9 ± 22.4 min, CRYO: 74.5 ± 24.5 min, RFA: 140.2 ± 82.4 min; p < .0001). The model reported an overall cost of €216,535 per 100 patients treated with PFA, €301,510 per 100 patients treated with CRYO and €346,594 per 100 patients treated with RFA. Overall, the cumulative savings associated with PFA (excluding kit costs) were €850 and €1,301 per patient compared to CRYO and RFA, respectively. CONCLUSION: PFA demonstrated shorter procedure time compared to CRYO and RFA. Model estimates indicate that these time savings result in cost savings for hospitals and reduce outlay on redo procedures. Clinical practice in individual hospitals varies and may impact the ability to transfer the results of this analysis to other settings.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome (BrS) has been associated with sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy subjects, and drug-induced BrS accounts for 55% to 70% of all patients with BrS. This study aims to develop a deep convolutional neural network and evaluate its performance in recognizing and predicting BrS diagnosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive patients who underwent ajmaline testing for BrS following a standardized protocol were included. ECG tracings from baseline and during ajmaline were transformed using wavelet analysis and a deep convolutional neural network was separately trained to (1) recognize and (2) predict BrS type I pattern. The resultant networks are referred to as BrS-Net. A total of 1188 patients were included, of which 361 (30.3%) patients developed BrS type I pattern during ajmaline infusion. When trained and evaluated on ECG tracings during ajmaline, BrS-Net recognized a BrS type I pattern with an AUC-ROC of 0.945 (0.921-0.969) and an AUC-PR of 0.892 (0.815-0.939). When trained and evaluated on ECG tracings at baseline, BrS-Net predicted a BrS type I pattern during ajmaline with an AUC-ROC of 0.805 (0.845-0.736) and an AUC-PR of 0.605 (0.460-0.664). CONCLUSIONS: BrS-Net, a deep convolutional neural network, can identify BrS type I pattern with high performance. BrS-Net can predict from baseline ECG the development of a BrS type I pattern after ajmaline with good performance in an unselected population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Limited data are available on leadless pacemaker (LPM) outcomes according to different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the safety and efficacy of LPMs among patients stratified per different stages of renal function. METHODS: Consecutive patients enrolled in the multicenter international i-LEAPER registry (International LEAdless PacemakEr Registry) were analyzed. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to CKD stage. The primary end point was the comparison of LPM-related major complication rate at implantation and during follow-up. Differences in electrical performance were deemed secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 1748 patients enrolled, 33% were in CKD stage G3a/G3b and 9.4% were in CKD stage G4/G5. Patients with CKD presented cardiovascular comorbidities more frequently. During a median follow-up of 39 months (interquartile range [IQR] 18-59 months), major complication rate did not differ between groups (normal kidney function [NKF] group 1.8% vs CKD stage G3a/G3b group 2.9% vs CKD stage G4/G5 group 2.4%; P = .418). All-cause mortality resulted higher in the CKD stage G4/G5 group than in the NKF group (19.5% vs 9.8%; adjusted hazard ratio 1.9; 95% confidence interval 1.25-2.89; P = .003). LPM electrical performance was comparable between groups, except for patients with CKD who showed a slightly higher pacing threshold during 1-month follow-up (NKF group 0.50 V [IQR 0.35-0.70 V] vs G3a/G3b group 0.56 V [IQR 0.38-0.81 V] vs G4/G5 group 0.51 V [0.38-0.84 V] @ 0.24 ms; P < .001). CONCLUSION: In a real-world setting, patients with advanced CKD who underwent LPM implantation were underrepresented. Although all-cause mortality was higher in end-stage CKD, periprocedural complications and LPM performance were overall comparable between NKF and different stages of CKD, except for higher values of pacing threshold in patients with CKD up to first-month follow-up.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: High-voltage pulses can cause hemolysis. OBJECTIVES: The authors evaluated the occurrence of hemoglobinuria after pulsed-field ablation (PFA) and its impact on renal function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS: A consecutive series of patients with AF undergoing PFA were included in this analysis. The initial patients who did not receive postablation hydration immediately after the procedure were classified as group 1 (n = 28), and the rest of the study patients who received planned fluid infusion (0.9% sodium chloride ≥2 L) after the procedure were categorized as group 2 (n = 75). RESULTS: Of the 28 patients in group 1, 21 (75%) experienced hemoglobinuria during the 24 hours after catheter ablation. The mean postablation serum creatinine (S-Cr) was significantly higher than the baseline value in those 21 patients (1.46 ± 0.28 mg/dL vs 0.86 ± 0.24 mg/dL, P < 0.001). Of those 21 patients, 4 (19%) had S-Cr. >2.5 mg/dL (mean: 2.95 ± 0.21 mg/dL). The mean number of PF applications was significantly higher in those 4 patients than in the other 17 patients experiencing hemoglobinuria (94.63 ± 3.20 vs 46.75 ± 9.10, P < 0.001). In group 2 patients, no significant changes in S-Cr were noted. The group 2 patients received significantly higher amounts of fluid infusion after catheter ablation than did those in group 1 (2,082.50 ± 258.08 mL vs 494.01 ± 71.65 mL, P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, both hydration (R2 = 0.63, P < 0.01) and number of PFA applications (R2 = 0.33, P < 0.01) were independent predictors of postprocedure acute kidney injury. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of our findings, both the number of PFA applications and postablation hydration were independent predictors of renal insult that could be prevented using planned fluid infusion immediately after the procedure.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is selective for the myocardium. However, vagal responses and reversible effects on ganglionated plexi (GP) are observed during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Anterior-right GP ablation has been proven to effectively prevent vagal responses during radiofrequency-based PVI. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that PFA-induced transient anterior-right GP modulation when targeting the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV) before any other pulmonary veins (PVs) may effectively prevent intraprocedural vagal responses. METHODS: Eighty consecutive paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients undergoing PVI with PFA were prospectively included. In the first 40 patients, PVI was performed first targeting the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV-first group). In the last 40 patients, RSPV was targeted first, followed by left PVs and right inferior PV (RSPV-first group). Heart rate (HR) and extracardiac vagal stimulation (ECVS) were evaluated at baseline, during PVI, and postablation to assess GP modulation. RESULTS: Vagal responses occurred in 31 patients (78%) in the LSPV-first group and 5 (13%) in the RSPV-first group (P <.001). Temporary pacing was needed in 14 patients (35%) in the LSPV-first group and 3 (8%) in the RSPV-first group (P = .003). RSPV isolation was associated with similar acute HR increase in the 2 groups (13 ± 11 bpm vs 15 ± 12 bpm; P = .3). No significant residual changes in HR or ECVS response were documented in both groups at the end of the procedure compared to baseline (all P >.05). CONCLUSION: PVI with PFA frequently induced vagal responses when initiated from the LSPV. Nevertheless, an RSPV-first approach promoted transient HR increase and reduced vagal response occurrence.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Recurrence during the 3-month blanking period following radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is typically not considered as a predictor for late recurrence. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the significance of early recurrence as a risk factor for late recurrence in AF patients receiving pulsed-field ablation (PFA). METHODS: Consecutive patients undergoing PFA were prospectively followed-up for 1 year. All patients received isolation of pulmonary veins. Additional ablations were performed per operator's discretion. Following the procedure all remained on their previously ineffective antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) during the 2-month blanking period after which the AADs were discontinued. Early recurrence was defined as atrial arrhythmia of > 30 second duration during the 3-mo blanking period and any recurrence beyond 3-mo was considered as late recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 337 patients undergoing PFA for AF were included. Early recurrence was recorded in 53 (15.7%) patients; 10 in the 1st month, 12 in the 2nd month and 31 in the 3rd month. Of the 10 patients having recurrence during the 1st month, 7 (70%) remained in sinus rhythm after cardioversion whereas 3 (30%) underwent redo because of late-recurrence. At 1 year, all patients with recurrence during the 2nd and 3rd month, experienced late-recurrence of which 10/12 and 27/31 underwent redo and the remaining 6 patients were in sinus on-AAD. CONCLUSION: In this consecutive series of AF patients, early-recurrence in the 2nd or 3rd month following the PFA procedure was associated with high risk of late-recurrence. Thus, blanking period could be redefined as 1-month following PFA.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Long-term oral anticoagulation is the mainstay therapy for thromboembolic (TE) prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) could be a safe alternative to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with a very high TE risk profile. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of LAAO vs DOACs in patients with atrial fibrillation at very high stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc [congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category] score ≥ 5). METHODS: Data from patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 5 were extracted from a prospective multicenter database. To attenuate the imbalance in covariates between groups, propensity score matching was used (covariates: CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED [hypertension, abnormal renal or liver function, stroke, bleeding, labile international normalized ratio, elderly, drugs or alcohol] scores), which resulted in a matched population of 277 patients per group. The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, TE events, and clinically relevant bleeding during follow-up. RESULTS: Of 2381 patients, 554 very high risk patients were included in the study (mean age 79 ± 7 years; CHA2DS2-VASc score 5.8 ± 0.9; HAS-BLED score 3.0 ± 0.9). The mean follow-up duration was 25 ± 11 months. A higher incidence of the composite end point was documented with DOACs compared with LAAO (14.9 events per 100 patient-years in the DOAC group vs 9.4 events per 100 patient-years in the LAAO group; P = .03). The annualized clinically relevant bleeding risk was higher with DOACs (6.3% vs 3.2%; P = .04), while the risk of TE events was not different between groups (4.1% vs 3.2%; P = .63). CONCLUSION: In high-risk patients, LAAO had a similar stroke prevention efficacy but a significantly lower risk of clinically relevant bleeding when compared with DOACs. The clinical benefit of LAAO became significant after 18 months of follow-up.

RESUMEN

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), for which pre-clinical and early-stage clinical data are suggestive of some degree of preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation without damage to adjacent structures. Here in the MANIFEST-17K study we assessed the safety of PFA by studying the post-approval use of this treatment modality. Of the 116 centers performing post-approval PFA with a pentaspline catheter, data were received from 106 centers (91.4% participation) regarding 17,642 patients undergoing PFA (mean age 64, 34.7% female, 57.8% paroxysmal AF and 35.2% persistent AF). No esophageal complications, pulmonary vein stenosis or persistent phrenic palsy was reported (transient palsy was reported in 0.06% of patients; 11 of 17,642). Major complications, reported for ~1% of patients (173 of 17,642), were pericardial tamponade (0.36%; 63 of 17,642) and vascular events (0.30%; 53 of 17,642). Stroke was rare (0.12%; 22 of 17,642) and death was even rarer (0.03%; 5 of 17,642). Unexpected complications of PFA were coronary arterial spasm in 0.14% of patients (25 of 17,642) and hemolysis-related acute renal failure necessitating hemodialysis in 0.03% of patients (5 of 17,642). Taken together, these data indicate that PFA demonstrates a favorable safety profile by avoiding much of the collateral damage seen with conventional thermal ablation. PFA has the potential to be transformative for the management of patients with AF.

RESUMEN

Study objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between AF, frailty, and geriatric syndromes in elderly patients in an outpatient and inpatient setting in a South Belgian hospital. Participants design and setting: This is a single center case-control retrospective study including 207 patients enrolled from an outpatient and inpatient setting of the Department of Geriatrics, Jolimont Hospital Group. Frailty was assessed using a complete geriatric assessment and Rockwoods Clinical Frailty Scale. Results: AF was strongly associated with age, cardiovascular history, congestive heart failure, as well as with multiple geriatric syndromes such as vascular dementia, malnutrition, functional decline in Activities of Daily Living, mobility impairment and chronic ulcerous disease. Furthermore, there was a tight relationship between AF and Rockwoods' frailty phenotypes. This association was maintained throughout multivariable modelling including age (OR 1.06, IC 1.03-1.14, p = 0.042), sex (OR 2.30, IC 1.11-4.84, p = 0.026), congestive heart failure (OR 3.70, IC 1.77-7.91, p < 0.001) and a CFS more than 4 (OR 2.68, IC 1.18-6.43, p = 0.021). Conclusion: A deeper understanding of associations between atrial fibrillation and geriatric syndromes and frailty could give new patient management perspectives beyond pharmaceutical or interventional treatment.

RESUMEN

La muerte súbita cardiaca continúa siendo un problema de salud pública no resuelto, que supone un 13-18,5% del total de muertes por causas naturales. A la vista de las tasas de supervivencia bajas y desalentadoras que se dan en los eventos de parada cardiaca, recientemente se han dedicado muchos esfuerzos a la prevención de la muerte súbita cardiaca. Aproximadamente un 90-95% de las víctimas de muerte súbita cardiaca sufren una cardiopatía estructural. Esta revisión se centra en la prevención de la muerte súbita cardiaca en esta población de pacientes. Se examina la prevención primaria y secundaria de la muerte súbita en la enfermedad coronaria, la miocardiopatía dilatada no isquémica, la miocardiopatía hipertrófica, la displasia/miocardiopatía arritmogénica de ventrículo derecho y la miocardiopatía no compactada. Se comentan también las indicaciones actuales para el tratamiento profiláctico primario o secundario con un desfibrilador automático implantable en estos trastornos (AU)


Sudden cardiac death remains an unresolved public health problem and is responsible for 13.0-18.5% of all natural deaths. Given the disappointingly low rate of survival following cardiac arrest, recent efforts have focused on prevention. Around 90-95% of sudden cardiac death victims have structural heart disease. This review focuses on the prevention of sudden cardiac death in this patient group. It includes a discussion of the primary and secondary prevention of sudden death in coronary heart disease, nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or cardiomyopathy, and noncompaction cardiomyopathy. The review also considers current indications for primary and secondary prophylaxis using implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in these conditions (AU)
