Association of device detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmia with adverse events in patients with an implantable cardioverter ‐defibrillator
ConclusionOur findings from a large cohort of ICD recipients enrolled in landmark clinical trials show that device detected AF and VT/VF can be used to identify patients with increased risk for CHF exacerbation and mortality. These findings suggest a need for early intervention in CHF patients who develop device-detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Pilot study to evaluate left ‐to‐right ventricular offset in biventricular pacing—comparison of electrocardiographic imaging and ECG
ConclusionsLV-RV electrical uncoupling, as assessed by ECGI, can be minimized by optimizing LV-RV stimulation offset. 3D-QRS-area is a surrogate to identify LV-RV offset that minimizes LV-RV uncoupling. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Electrical storm after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation
ConclusionFollowing LVAD implantation, the rate of ES was 7% with majority of ES occurring within 30 days of LVAD. Risk factors for ES included pre-implant history of ventricular arrhythmias and ICD shock. ES was significantly associated with reduced survival compared to patients without ES.

Narrow QRS ectopy with concealed connections from a para ‐Hisian origin to the proximal left fascicles
ConclusionSome narrow QRS ectopy may originate from the vicinity of the conduction system, instead of the “true” conduction system, and have concealed connections from its origin to the conduction system. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Lesion metrics and 12 ‐month outcomes of very‐high power short duration radiofrequency ablation (90W/4 s) under mild conscious sedation
ConclusionvHPSD PVI is feasible under MCS, with encouraging acute and long-term procedural outcomes. This provides a compelling option for centers with limited anaesthetic support. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Left atrial low ‐voltage areas, but not volume, predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation in repeat ablation procedures
ConclusionTotal LVA percentage has a good predictive power on arrhythmia recurrence in a cohort of advanced scarred left atria in repeat procedures independent of the applied ablation strategy. Left atrial volume seems to have minor impact on the rhythm outcome in our study cohort. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)

Association between proactive esophageal cooling and increased lab throughput
ConclusionAdoption of proactive esophageal cooling during PVI ablation procedures is associated with a significant increase in EP lab throughput, even after a reduction in total number of operating physicians in the post-adoption group. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)
