Management of device embolization following left atrial appendage closure: Two cases and a review of the literature Open
Objectives Device embolization (DE) following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a severe but uncommon complication, and limited data address optimal management strategies for this condition. This review presents two cases of device e…
The Impact of Technology-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Exercise Capacity and Adherence in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: An Artificial Intelligence Analysis Open
Background Exercise training programs improve exercise capacity and quality of life (QoL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to design such programs, there are still few stud…

An Uncommon Coronary Anomaly: A Single Right Coronary Artery With a Conus Branch Supplying the Left Anterior Descending Artery Open
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are usually asymptomatic and have a good prognosis. Single coronary artery anomaly (SCA) is a very rare CAA. Its true incidence is unknown. They are usually detected incidentally during coronary imaging and…
Prediction of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Open
AF in patients treated with TAVI may pose significant risks for morbidity and mortality. PA-TDI duration, a readily available echocardiographic parameter, can detect patients with a high risk of new-onset AF.
Is cognitive function a determinant of exercise capacity in patients with coronary artery disease? Open
Background Exercise is often referred to as a 'polypill' due to its numerous beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factors and the physiology of the cardiovascular system. Skeletal muscle weakness, cardiac ischemia, angina, and medicat…
Functional substrate mapping characteristics during sinus rhythm predicts critical isthmus of reentrant atrial tachycardia Open
Background Atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder in patients with underlying atrial scar. The role of atrial late activation mapping during sinus rhythm to predict the critical isthmus (CI) of AT has yet to be s…
Predictive value of clinical risk scores for determination of left atrial low voltage area and arrhythmia recurrences in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Presence of left atrial low voltage area (LVA) is an independent predictor of atrial tachyarhythmia (ATa) recurrences after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Thus identify…
Evaluation of redo procedures in blanking period following atrial fibrillation catheter ablation Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background and Objective Although early recurrence after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA) is a risk factor for late recurrence, 3 months blanking period (BP) is generally …
Long term results of catheter ablation in patients presented with ventricular storm Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background and Objective Catheter ablation is a treatment option in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT storm, especially when refractory to medical treatment. In this trial, we…
A novel method to define critical isthmus of left atrial tachycardia; late potential mapping during sinus rhythm Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder in patients with underlying atrial scar. The role of late potential (LP) based mapping in the detection of…
Scary Acute Left Main Coronary Artery Thrombus as an Initial Presentation of a Hereditary Thrombophilia: When to Go Out of Routine? Open
Patients with either hereditary or acquired thrombophilia can present with arterial and venous thrombotic complications. However, it is unclear to whom the thrombophilia panel should be assessed, particularly in patients presenting with a …
Aggressive Treatment of Refractory Coronary Artery Vasospasm in a Patient with Malignant Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia and Cardiac Arrest Open
Coronary artery vasospasm (CAVS) is a clinical entity that can cause angina, but also unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, fatal arrhythmias, and sudden death. Although it is a condition that is usually controlled with me…
Presystolic Wave is Associated with Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction Assessed by Myocardial Performance Index in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Open
Background: Myocardial performance index (MPI), demonstrates both systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle. Presystolic wave (PSW) is frequently detected on Doppler examination of the left ventricular outflow tract and possib…
Percutaneous interventions of coronary artery fistulas: a single-center experience Open
Coronary artery fistulas may present with different symptoms or complications and there are several techniques for percutaneous occlusion. Percutaneous closure of CAF is feasible and safe in anatomically suitable vessels, with good results…
Long-term outcomes of left atrial appendage isolation using cryoballoon in persistent atrial fibrillation Open
Aims There is an increasing trend evaluating the role of non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers to improve ablation outcomes in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) as pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) strategy alone has modest outcomes. We investig…
Effective Therapeutic Intervention for Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus: Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Open
Objective: The thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA) can be challenging for operators and increases periprocedural complication risk. However, recent consensus documents discuss that left atrial appendage closure is a poten…
Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Functions by Heart Rate Recovery Indices in Patients Receiving Chest Radiotherapy Open
Objective: Although the introduction of radiation therapy for the management of thoracic malignancies has led to a significant improvement in disease-specific survival, this has resulted in the emergence of a new spectrum of cardiovascular…
