Antithrombotic Therapy after Successful Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Open
Among patients who had had successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation at least 1 year earlier and had risk factors for stroke, treatment with rivaroxaban did not result in a significantly lower incidence of a composite of stroke,…

Aggressive Risk Factor Reduction Study for Atrial Fibrillation Implications for Ablation Outcomes Open
Importance Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcomes demonstrate attrition over time. Although observational studies have reported reduced arrhythmia recurrence after AF ablation with aggressive lifestyle and risk factor modification, evi…

Sensing and detection performance of the novel, small-diameter omniasecure defibrillation lead: leadr trial analysis Open
Introduction The Lead EvaluAtion for Defibrillation and Reliability (LEADR) trial evaluated the small-diameter (4.7Fr), integrated bipolar OmniaSecure defibrillation lead. The trial exceeded primary safety and efficacy endpoint thresholds,…

Left bundle area pacing in hypertrophied hearts: An ex vivo ovine model to study deployment of pacing leads in thick septum Open
Lead deployment patterns in hypertrophied septae vary between leads. SDL achieves deeper septal penetration at lower torque and faster forward motion than LLL.

Sensing and detection performance of the novel, small-diameter OmniaSecure defibrillation lead: in-depth analysis from the LEADR trial Open
Aims The Lead EvaluAtion for Defibrillation and Reliability (LEADR) trial evaluated the small-diameter (4.7 Fr), integrated bipolar OmniaSecure defibrillation lead. As previously reported, the trial exceeded primary safety and efficacy obj…
Constructing in silico, molecular self-aggregates and micro- hydrated complexes of Oxirene and Thiirene Open
Oxirene, surmised to exist in the interstellar medium, was synthesized in the laboratory only recently. At the ωB97xD/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of density functional theory, it is demonstrated here that oxirene attains a local minimum on the p…

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation by pulmonary vein isolation with or without left atrial posterior wall isolation: long-term outcomes of the CAPLA trial Open
Background and Aims Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is commonly incorporated into catheter ablation (CA) strategies for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in an attempt to improve outcomes. In the CAPLA randomized study, adjunctive PWI did…

Sex Differences in Outcomes of an Intensive Risk Factor Modification Program in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Open
BACKGROUND: The outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) seem to be variable between males and females. We therefore aimed to determine sex differences in weight loss, cardiorespiratory fitness gain, and recurrence and progression of AF follow…

Catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation: patterns of recurrence and impact on quality of life and health care utilization Open
Background and Aims Patterns of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence post-catheter ablation for persistent AF (PsAF) are not well described. This study aimed to describe the pattern of AF recurrence seen following catheter ablation for PsAF…

Safety, efficacy, and reliability evaluation of a novel small-diameter defibrillation lead: Global LEADR pivotal trial results Open
The OmniaSecure lead exceeded prespecified primary end point performance goals for safety and efficacy, demonstrating high defibrillation success and a low occurrence of lead-related major complications with zero lead fractures.
Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction—A Phenotype Waiting to Be Explored Open
Heart failure (HF) presents a significant global health challenge recognised by frequent hospitalisation and high mortality rates. The assessment of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and predic…
