Effectiveness of Immediate Pharmacological Versus Electrical Cardioversion on Hemodynamic Stability and Rhythm Restoration in Patients With Refractory Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review Open
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia in emergency departments (EDs), often requiring urgent rhythm control when rate control fails. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare electrical cardioversion…

Prognostic Value of Nonischemic Ringlike Left Ventricular Scar in Patients With Apparently Idiopathic Nonsustained Ventricular Arrhythmias Open
Background: Left ventricular (LV) scar on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance has been correlated with life-threatening arrhythmic events in patients with apparently idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). We inv…

Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Who Receive Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Demonstrate Favorable In‐Hospital Outcomes Open
Background Use of inpatient brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke is highly institution dependent and has been associated with increased length and cost of hospital stay. We examined whether inpatien…

553Prognostic value of non-ischemic ring-like left ventricular scar pattern in patients with apparently idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias: a CMR imaging study Open
Background:The presence of left ventricular (LV) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been correlated to life-threatening arrhythmic events in patients with apparently idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias…

Clinical applications of feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance imaging Open
Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the western world. Assessment of cardiac function is pivotal for early diagnosis of primitive myocardial disorders, identification of cardiac involvement in …

Identifying Risk and Management of Acute Haemodynamic Decompensation During Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia Open
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) has an established role in the management of patients with structural heart disease presenting with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT). Due to the complex underlying substrate, high burden of comor…

Intravascular fracture of the Impella device during removal Open
Mechanical percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (P-LVADs) are being increasingly adopted for high-risk invasive electrophysiological procedures, such as during catheter ablation of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (…

0502 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA IN SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN Open
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is more common in obese children. However, the role of fat distribution in the pathogenesis of OSA in this age group is controversial. We evaluated the association of OSA to excess adiposity and abdo…
