Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Cryoballoon vs Laser Balloon Ablation for Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Open
In patients with paroxysmal AF undergoing PVI, CBA and LBA were equally efficacious at one year and demonstrated acceptably low complication rates. LBA was associated with reduced procedure time and fluoroscopy exposure.

Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke After Bariatric Surgery in Patients With Morbid Obesity With or Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea Open
Background and Purpose: Weight loss in morbidly obese patients reduces atrial fibrillation (AF); however, it is unknown whether similar benefits are maintained in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We sought to determine whether …

High calories but not fat content of lard-based diet contribute to impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in C57BL/6J mice heart Open
We assume that changes in cardiac morphology and selective reduction of the OXPHOS complexes activity observed in the HFD- and LFD-fed mice might be related to excessive calories with additional effect of fat content on oxidative stress.
