Abstract

Although several investigations have shown a relationship between increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and atrial fibrillation (AF), the association between EAT and ventricular tachycardia (VT) has not been evaluated. We investigated the association between EAT and post-ablation VT recurrence. In this study, sixty-one consecutive patients (mean age=62.0±13.9) undergoing VT ablation with pre-procedural cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were recruited. EAT thickness was measured using cardiac MRI in the right and left atrioventricular grooves (AVGs), RV free wall, anterior, inferior, and superior interventricular grooves (IVGs). During a mean follow-up period of 392.9±180.2 days, post-ablation VT recurrence occurred in 15 (24.6%) patients. EAT thickness was significantly higher in the VT recurrence group than that in the non-recurrent VT at the right (18.7±5.7 vs. 14.1±4.4 mm; p=0.012) and left (13.3±3.9 vs. 10.4±4.1; p=0.020) AVGs. The best cut-off points for predicting VT recurrence were calculated as 15.5 mm for the right AVG (area under ROC curve=0.74) and 11.5 mm for the left AVG (area under ROC curve=0.72). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre procedural right AVG-EAT (HR: 1.2; 95% CI: [1.06-1.39], p=0.004) was the only independent predictor of VT recurrence after adjustment for covariates. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed a difference for post-ablation VT recurrence between the two groups with right AVG-EAT thickness cut-off value of

Abstract

Some of the recently released smartwatch products feature a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recording capability. The reliability of obtaining 3-lead ECG with smartwatches is yet to be confirmed in a large study. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of smartwatch to obtain 3-lead ECG recordings, the classical Einthoven ECG leads I-III compared to standard ECG. To record lead I, the watch was worn on the left wrist and the right index finger was placed on the digital crown for 30 s. For lead II, the watch was placed on the lower abdomen and the right index finger was placed on the digital crown for 30 s. For lead III, the same process was repeated with the left index finger. Spearman correlation and Bland-Altman tests were used for data analysis. A total of 300 smartwatch ECG tracings were successfully obtained. ECG waves&rsquo, characteristics of all three leads obtained from the smartwatch had a similar duration, amplitude, and polarity compared to standard ECG. The results of this study suggested that the examined smartwatch (Apple Watch Series 4) could obtain 3-lead ECG tracings, including Einthoven leads I, II, and III by placing the smartwatch on the described positions.

35. Atrial fibrillation: is there a role for cardiac troponin?

Author

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and its prevalence rate is expected to be doubled over the next decades. Despite the wide use of biomarkers in the management of different cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, utilization of biomarkers in AF management is not routinely recommended by current guidelines. There is also growing evidence that higher levels of cardiac-specific troponin, as an intracellular protein involved in cardiomyocyte contraction, may be associated with the risk of incident and recurrent AF and its complications. In the present paper, we review the association between troponin and AF and propose clinical suggestions for use of troponin in the management of AF patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe and illustrate the technique of performing interatrial septum biopsy and to demonstrate its use for direct histological substrate characterization in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and Results: Biopsies were performed in four patients who underwent AF catheter ablation. Bipal 7 bioptome was directed through a steerable sheath directly onto the septum. Fluoroscopic views as well as echocardiography‐guided techniques were utilized to confirm that the tip was oriented towards the interatrial septum. The bioptome was then placed on the right atrial (RA) septum and maneuvered to obtain the specimens (at least 1 mm in size) from the posterior septal region of the RA, adjacent to the fossa ovalis. Bioptome placement and sample acquisition were successful in all patients at the first attempt. No patient developed any minor or major complications during the procedure and hospital stay. All the biopsy specimens had proper qualities for histological assessments and revealed a variety of pathologies including fibrosis, inflammation, and fatty infiltration. Conclusion: Atrial septum biopsies could be safely performed guided by fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography. The obtained specimens allowed for a detailed localized substrate characterization which is of great interest in AF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Nonsurgical bleeding after complex thoracic aortic procedures (such as aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm) is a great challenge for cardiac surgeons because of severe coagulopathy, exsanguinous bleeding, and inevitable death. Temporary mediastinal packing (with sponge) in such cases is the only life-saving technique with good result in most cases. Herein, we presented three cases with acute aortic dissection with intractable bleeding that was successfully managed with mediastinal packing.
