Atrioventricular dyssynchrony in patients with permanent pacemaker due to sinus node dysfunction and first-degree atrioventricular block: does the long PR syndrome exist? Open
Objectives a) To determine which scenario would provide the biggest benefit (Figure 1): correcting AV dyssynchrony (AVD) with ACP and paced QRS, or avoiding pacing and maintaining a narrow QRS at the expense of a long PRi and AVD?
Carotid sinus syndrome treated by cardioneuroablation: Is sinus node denervation enough? Insights from a syncope recurrence report Open
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for patients with refractory vasovagal syncope (VVS), functional atrioventricular block (AVB) or functional bradyarrhythmia instead of classical treatment or pacemaker…
Prevention of Esophageal Damage During Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation by the Esophagus Mechanical Deviation Open
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the world population. Despite the use of antiarrhythmics, it is difficult to control clinically, causing symptoms and mainly generating risk of a thromboembolic event. Since 1998, by …

Cardioneuroablation: Catheter Vagal Denervation as a New Therapy for Cardioinhibitory Syncope Open
The vasovagal syncope is the most frequent cause of transient loss of consciousness, especially in young people without significant heart disease. The malignant cardioinhibitory form is caused by abrupt and intense vagal reflex with or wit…
Evaluation of super-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy in the presence of left bundle branch block and absence of scar in the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle. Open
Patients with heart failure (HF) undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) who exhibit above-expected improvement are known as super-responders. We assessed the rate of super-responders in a population with left bundle branch bloc…
Evaluation of Response Rate to Resynchronization Therapy: the Super-Responder Open
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) emerged as a therapeutic modality for patients with cardiac insufficiency (CI) refractory to pharmacological treatment. Over the last 20 years, several clinical studies have sought to establish their…
Carotid Sinus Massage in Syncope Evaluation: A Nonspecific and Dubious Diagnostic Method Open
Background: Carotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) is a frequent finding in the evaluation of syncope. However, its significance in the clinical setting is still dubious. A new criterion was proposed by Solari et al. with a symptomatic systo…

Pacemaker Implants in Children and Adolescents with Chagas Disease in Brazil: 18-Year Incidence Open
Observa-se uma redução importante do número de implantes de marca-passo em crianças e adolescente chagásicos, o que sugere uma redução da transmissão vertical do parasita.

Executive Summary of the II Brazilian Guidelines for Atrial Fibrillation Open
Since 2009, when the Brazilian Society of Cardiology released the Brazilian Guidelines for Atrial Fibrillation,1 important studies on the subject have been published, particularly on new oral anticoagulants (NOACs). At least three of these…
