Wearable Devices for Quantifying Atrial Fibrillation Burden: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Meta-Analysis Open
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia and is associated with an impaired prognosis. Studies using implantable cardiac monitors suggest that this association is closely linked to AF burden, defi…

Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Obese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Compared to Non-Obese Counterparts: A Meta-Analysis Open
Introduction: Obesity is an important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) development. Data on cryoballoon ablation (CBA) outcomes in obese patients have so far been scarce. We reviewed the existing literature to compare the efficacy …

Impact of Body Mass Index on the Outcomes of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Open
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is prevalent among obese patients, and cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is an effective strategy for the rhythm control of AF. The impact of body mass index (BMI) on the clinical outcomes of CBA for AF is not…

Bipolar radiofrequency ablation of refractory ventricular arrhythmias: results from a multicentre network Open
Aims Advanced ablation strategies are needed to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular complexes (PVC) refractory to standard unipolar radiofrequency ablation (Uni-RFA). Bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation (Bi-RF…

Perceval-S over time. Clinical outcomes after ten years of usage Open
Background Perceval-S has become a reliable and commonly used option in surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) since its first implantation in humans 15 years ago. Despite the fact that this aortic valve has been proven efficient enough i…

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence following Catheter Ablation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
(1)Introduction: Catheter ablation has become a cornerstone for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, recurrence rates remain high. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been associated with AF pathogenesis …

Efficacy, Safety and Feasibility of Superior Vena Cava Isolation in Patients Undergoing Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: An Up-to-Date Review Open
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation; yet, the role of arrhythmogenic superior vena cava (SVC) is increasingly recognized and different ablation strategies have been employed in this contex…

Alcohol Consumption and the Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis Open
Alcohol consumption is a known, modifiable risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it remains unclear whether the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption-that has been reported for various cardiovascular disea…

The role of left atrial peak systolic strain in atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation. A systematic review and meta-analysis Open
This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the prognostic role of left atrial peak systolic longitudinal strain (LA-PLSsys) as a predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. We systematica…

“Missing” acute coronary syndrome hospitalizations during the <span>COVID</span>‐19 era in Greece: Medical care avoidance combined with a true reduction in incidence? Open
Background Reports from countries severely hit by the COVID‐19 pandemic suggest a decline in acute coronary syndrome (ACS)‐related hospitalizations. The generalizability of this observation on ACS admissions and possible related causes in …
