- Abstract
Background: The mechanism of typical slow-fast atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and its anatomical and electrophysiological circuit inside the right atrium (RA) and Koch's Triangle (KT) are not well known., Objective: To identify the potentials of the compact AV node and inferior extensions and to perform accurate mapping of the RA and KT in sinus rhythm (SR) and during AVNRT, to define the tachycardia circuit., Methods: Consecutive patients with typical AVNRT were enrolled in 12 Italian centers and underwent mapping and ablation by means of a basket catheter with small electrode spacing for ultrahigh-density mapping and a modified signal-filtering toolset to record the potentials of the AV nodal structures., Results: Forty-five consecutive cases of successful ablation of typical slow-fast AVNRT were included. The mean SR cycle length (CL) was 784.1 ± 6 ms and the mean tachycardia CL was 361.2 ± 54 ms. The AV node potential had a significantly shorter duration and higher amplitude in sinus rhythm than during tachycardia (60 ± 40 ms vs. 160 ± 40 ms, p < .001 and 0.3 ± 0.2 mV vs. 0.09 ± 0.12 mV, p < .001, respectively). The nodal potential duration extension was 169.4 ± 31 ms, resulting in a time-window coverage of 47.6 ± 9%. The recording of AV nodal structure potentials enabled us to obtain 100% coverage of the tachycardia CL during slow-fast AVNRT., Conclusion: Detailed recording of the potentials of nodal structures is possible by means of multipolar catheters for ultrahigh-density mapping, allowing 100% of the AVNRT CL to be covered. These results also have clinical implications for the ablation of right-septal and para-septal arrhythmias., (© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Background: Conduction system pacing (CSP), including His-bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), have been proposed as alternatives to biventricular pacing (BVP) in patients scheduled for ablate and pace (A&P) strategy. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes, including the rate and nature of device-related complications, between BVP and CSP in a cohort of patients undergoing A&P., Methods: Prospective, multicenter, observational study, enrolling consecutive patients undergoing A&P. The risk of device-related complications and of heart failure (HF) hospitalization was prospectively assessed., Results: A total of 373 patients (75.3 ± 8.7 years, 53.9% male, 68.9% with NYHA class ≥III) were enrolled: 263 with BVP, 68 with HBP, and 42 with LBBAP. Baseline characteristics of the three groups were similar. Compared to BVP and HBP, LBBAP was associated with the shortest mean procedural and fluoroscopy times and with the lowest acute capture thresholds (all p < .05). At 12-month follow-up LBBAP maintained the lowest capture thresholds and showed the longest estimated residual battery longevity (all p < .05). At 12-months follow-up the three study groups showed a similar risk of device-related complications (5.7%, 4.4%, and 2.4% for BVP, HBP, and LBBAP, respectively; p = .650), and of HF hospitalization (2.7%, 1.5%, and 2.4% for BVP, HBP, and LBBAP, respectively; p = .850)., Conclusions: In the setting of A&P, CSP is a feasible pacing modality, with a midterm safety profile comparable to BVP. LBBAP offers the advantage of reducing procedural times and obtaining lower and stable capture thresholds, with a positive impact on the device longevity., (© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Introduction: In patients with symptomatic permanent atrial fibrillation (PEAF) and narrow QRS, atrio-ventricular junction ablation (AVJA) plus cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is superior to medical therapy in reducing heart failure (HF) hospitalization and all-cause mortality. To compare the mortality of a population of patients with HF, reduced EF (rEF), and PEAF treated with AVJA plus CRT with that of a contemporary cohort of patients in sinus rhythm (SR) with similar baseline characteristics., Methods and Results: In this prospective, multicentre, observational study, all-cause mortality in a group of consecutive patients undergoing AVJA and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) combined with CRT implantation for HFrEF, narrow QRS, and PEAF with uncontrolled ventricular rate was compared with that of a contemporary cohort of patients in SR undergoing ICD implantation (not combined with CRT) for HFrEF and narrow QRS. Individual 1:1 propensity matching of baseline characteristics was performed. A total of 824 patients were enrolled. Propensity matching yielded 107 matched pairs. After a median follow-up of 52 months, all-cause mortality was similar in patients treated with AVJA plus CRT and in the control group (p = .434). In AVJA plus CRT patients, mortality was significantly lower than in control group patients with a history of paroxysmal/persistent AF (n = 45, p = .020), and similar to that of patients without a history of AF (n = 62, p = .459)., Conclusions: After adjustment for patient characteristics, the long-term prognosis of patients with HFrEF, narrow QRS, and PEAF who underwent AVJA plus CRT was similar to that of a population of patients in SR with similar characteristics., (© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)
