A novel method for phrenic nerve monitoring during cryo-balloon procedures Open
Background Cryo-balloon ablation is associated with a consistent risk of phrenic nerve damage. Currently, only the diaphragmatic compound motor action potential (CMAP) has been shown to be effective in preventing this complication. Purpose…

An alternative method for phrenic nerve monitoring during cryoballoon procedures Open
The NeedMAP signal for PN monitoring during cryoballoon ablation seems to be a reliable method, shows good sensitivity and specificity, and can help clinicians in preventing PN damage.

Epicardial adipose tissue, pulmonary veins anatomy, and the P-wave/PR interval ratio in young patients with atrial fibrillation Open
The abundance of EAT seems related to the risk of developing AF in young patients. The recurrence of AF is about 33% and does not seem related to the EAT volume, but rather to the anatomy of the PVs. A higher P/PR ratio might suggest recur…

Risk assessment of post‐myocardial infarction patients with preserved ejection fraction using 45‐min short resting Holter electrocardiographic recordings Open
Background Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in post‐myocardial infarction (post‐MI) patients remains a challenging task. Several electrocardiographic noninvasive risk factors (NIRFs) have been associated with adverse outcomes a…

Association of non‐invasive electrocardiographic risk factors with left ventricular systolic function in post‐myocardial infarction patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the PRESERVE‐EF study Open
Background Electrocardiographic non‐invasive risk factors (NIRFs) have an important role in the arrhythmic risk stratification of post‐myocardial infarction (post‐MI) patients with preserved or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection frac…

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy in patients with refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmia Open
Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an innovative therapeutic approach in patients (pts) with a diagnosis of refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VT) after the use of drugs, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and/or defibri…

Noninvasive risk factors for the prediction of inducibility on programmed ventricular stimulation in post‐myocardial infarction patients with an ejection fraction ≥40% at risk for sudden cardiac arrest: Insights from the PRESERVE‐EF study Open
Background In the PRESERVE‐EF study, a two‐step sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification approach to detect post‐myocardial infarction (MI) patients with left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40% at risk for major arrhythmic event…

Noninvasive risk factors for the prediction of inducibility on programmed ventricular stimulation in post-MI patients with ejection fraction over 40% at SCD risk, insights from the PRESERVE EF study Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in post myocardial infarction (post-MI) patients with a relatively preserved left ventricular systolic function (LVEF≥40%) has an annual inciden…

Temporal changes of noninvasive electrocardiographic risk factors for sudden cardiac death in post‐myocardial infarction patients with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the PRESERVE‐EF study Open
Background Several noninvasive risk factors (NIRFs) have been proposed for sudden cardiac death risk stratification in post‐myocardial infarction (post‐MI) patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF). However, it remains unclear if thes…

Signal‐averaged electrocardiography: Past, present, and future Open
Signal‐averaged electrocardiography records delayed depolarization of myocardial areas with slow conduction that can form the substrate for monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. This technique has been examined mostly in patients with coron…
