MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory molecules post-transcriptionally suppressing
mRNA activity. Many miRNAs in various organisms have been cloned but many unknown …

Ablation of atrial fibrillation is a key area of current research. A multitude of techniques have
been tested, some of which are poorly evidenced and not recommended in routine clinical …

In non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF), left atrial appendage (LAA) is thought to be the
source of embolism in 90% of the strokes. Thus, as recent clinical trials have shown the non …

Several interventional treatment options exist in patients with atrial and ventricular
arrhythmia. Cardiac CT is routinely performed prior to occlusion of the left atrial appendage …

Ultra-low temperature cryoablation (ULTC) is a novel ablation modality aiming to combine
the effectiveness of surgical lesion delivery with percutaneous safety to improve outcomes in …

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the capacity of
preinterventional left atrial strain (LAS) to predict AF recurrence (AFR) after catheter ablation …

Background Persistent phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) is an established complication of atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation, especially during cryoballoon and thoracoscopic ablation. Data on …

Over the past 50 years, the number and invasiveness of percutaneous cardiovascular
procedures globally have increased substantially. However, cardiovascular interventions …

Objectives To determine the association between left atrial epicardial conduction time
(LAECT), fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after thoracoscopic surgical ablation …

Background Electrographic flow (EGF) mapping enables the dynamic detection of functional
or active atrial fibrillation (AF) sources outside the pulmonary veins (PVs), and the presence …
