Association between atrial fibrillation and dementia, with a particular focus on early-onset dementia: a longitudinal population-based study in catalonia, spain Open
Introduction Some studies have suggested an independent association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and dementia, while others have failed to confirm this relationship. The strength of this association, as well as its interaction with str…

Late atrioventricular block after AVNRT ablation: the role and approach of cardioneuroablation Open
Background Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common form of regular supraventricular tachycardia and is typically treated with catheter ablation of the slow pathway. Although this procedure has high success a…

Ventricular tachycardia burden reduction after substrate ablation: Predictors of recurrence Open
Despite a high recurrence rate during long-term follow-up, substrate-based VT ablation is related to a large reduction in VT burden and a decrease in ICD therapies. Lower EF and persistence of late potentials are predictors of recurrence.

Optimized single‐point left ventricular pacing leads to improved resynchronization compared with multipoint pacing Open
Background Multipoint pacing (MPP) in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) activates the left ventricle from two locations, thereby shortening the QRS duration and enabling better resynchronization; however, compared with conventional C…
