TL;DR

This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF within a secondary‐prevention population.

Abstract

In patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF > 35%), data on outcomes after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation remain limited. This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF > 35% within a secondary‐prevention population.

Serial Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Associations With Ischemic Heart Disease and Left Ventricular End‐Diastolic Diameter

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) varies among patients with severe aortic stenosis and reduced LVEF. We characterized serial changes in LVEF and examined their associations with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and baseline left ventricular end‐diastoli...

Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium and left atrial appendage remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive value for atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).
