RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This study review aimed to consolidate current knowledge on the electrocardiographic abnormalities observed in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), formerly known as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). METHODS: This was a systematic review of studies on the association between MASLD and electrocardiographic abnormalities, published between January 1, 1946, and October 31, 2023. Data from eligible studies were extracted, analyzed, synthesized, and summarized. RESULTS: We evaluated a total of 27 studies with 8,607,500 participants overall and 1,005,101 participants with MASLD. There was a statistically significant association between MASLD and prevalent atrial fibrillation (pooled OR: 1.34 95 % CI: 1.20-1.49, p < 0.001, n = 12), shorter QRS duration (pooled SMD: -0.073, 95 % CI: -0.144 - -0.001, n = 2, p = 0.048, n = 2), QTc prolongation (p < 0.001, n = 2), LVH (pooled OR: 1.48, 95 % CI: 1.25-1.75, p < 0.001, n = 3), low voltage (p < 0.001, n = 1), ST changes (OR: 1.41, 95 % CI: 1.04-1.91, p = 0.027, n = 1), T wave inversion (p < 0.001, n = 1), axis deviation (OR: 3.21, 95 % CI: 1.99-5.17, p < 0.001, n = 1), conduction defect (OR: 2.79, 95 % CI: 1.83-4.26, p < 0.001, n = 1) and bundle branch block (OR: 2.90, 95 % CI: 1.82-4.61, p < 0.001, n = 1), any persistent heart block (p < 0.001, n = 1), fragmented QRS (p < 0.001, n = 1), and p wave dispersion (p < 0.001, n = 1) CONCLUSION: MASLD is associated with multiple ECG abnormalities which are potential markers of early cardiac involvement, highlighting the multisystemic nature of MASLD. These specific ECG abnormalities could be used in screening and management algorithms to improve cardiac risk stratification in MASLD patients. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD42023477501.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical force to achieve transseptal puncture (TSP) using a standard needle may lead to overshooting and injury, and can potentially be avoided using a radiofrequency (RF)-powered needle or wire. Applying electrocautery to needles and guidewires as an alternative to purpose-built RF systems has been associated with safety risks, such as tissue coring and thermal damage. The commercially available AcQCross needle-dilator system (Medtronic) features a sharp open-ended needle for mechanical puncture, as well as a built-in connector to enable energy delivery for RF puncture. This investigation compares the safety and efficacy of the AcQCross needle to the dedicated VersaCross RF wire system and generator (Baylis Medical/Boston Scientific). METHODS: In an ex vivo porcine model, VersaCross wire punctures were performed using 1 s, constant mode (approx. 10 W) with maximum two attempts. AcQCross punctures were performed by applying energy for 2 s using a standard electrosurgical generator at 10 W (max. five attempts), 20 W (max. two attempts), and 30 W (max. two attempts). Efficacy was assessed in terms of puncture success and a number of energy applications required for TSP. Safety was assessed quantitatively as force required for TSP, energy required to puncture, and incidence of tissue coring, as well as by qualitative assessment of puncture sites. Additional qualitative observation of tissue cores and debris were obtained from TSP performed in live swine. RESULTS: RF TSP was 100% successful using the VersaCross wire with 1.0 ± 0.0 attempts. When power was used with the AcQCross needle, it failed to puncture at low (10 and 20 W) power settings; TSP was achieved with 30 W of energy with 91% success using 1.53 ± 0.51 attempts (p < .05 vs. VC) with greater variability (F1,33 = 9223.5, p < .0001). Compared to RF puncture using the VersaCross system, mechanical puncture, alone, using the AcQcross needle required six times more force (8 mm additional forward device displacement) to perforate the septum. Qualitative assessment of puncture sites revealed larger defects and more tissue charring with the AcQCross needle at 30 W compared to punctures with VersaCross wire. Tissue coring with the open-ended AcQCross needle was observed in vivo and measured to occur in 57% of punctures using the ex vivo model; no coring was observed with the closed-tip VersaCross wire. CONCLUSIONS: The AcQCross needle frequently required higher energy of 30 W to achieve RF TSP and was associated with tissue coring and charring, which have been, previously, reported when electrifying a standard open-ended mechanical needle or guidewire. These findings may limit safety and effectiveness compared to the VersaCross system.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The Apple watch (AW) irregular rhythm notification (IRN) feature uses photoplethysmography to identify prolonged episodes of irregular rhythm suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AF). IRN is FDA cleared for those with no previous history of AF, however, these devices are increasingly being used for AF management.  The objective of the present study was to determine the accuracy of the IRN in subjects with a previous diagnosis of nonpermanent AF. METHODS: Subjects with a history of nonpermanent AF and either an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) or cardiac implanted electronic device (CIED) with <5% ventricular pacing were fitted with an AW Series 5 for 6 months. AF episodes were compared between the ICM/CIED and IRN. The primary endpoints were sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the IRN by subject for AF ≥1 h. Secondary endpoints were sensitivity and PPV by AF episode ≥1 h. Analysis was limited to a maximum of 10 ICM/CIED episodes per subject and included only those AF episodes occurring during active AW use confirmed by activity data. RESULTS: Thirty participants were enrolled. Mean age was 65.4 ± 12.2 years and 40% were female. There were 10 ICMs and 20 CIEDs. Eleven subjects had AF on ICM/CIED while the AW was worn, of whom 8 were detected by IRN. There were no false positive IRN detections by subject ("by subject" 72% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% PPV, and 90% NPV). Five subjects had AF only when the AW was not worn. There were a total of 70 AF episodes on ICM/CIED, 35 of which occurred while the AW was being worn. Of these, 21 were detected by IRN with 1 false positive ("by episode" sensitivity = 60.0%, PPV = 95.5%). CONCLUSION: In a population with known AF, the AW IRN had a low rate of false positive detections and high specificity. Sensitivity for detection by subject and by AF episode was lower. The current IRN algorithm appears accurate for AF screening as currently cleared, but increased sensitivity and wear times would be necessary for disease management.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) are an alternative to transvenous ICDs for patients without a need for cardiac pacing. Obese patients have been proposed to be at higher risk for conversion failure with S-ICDs due to subcutaneous fat underneath the device. Optimal device positioning may promote equivalent outcomes between obese and non-obese patients by minimizing the effects of excess adipose tissue. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing defibrillation testing at the time of S-ICD implantation was performed. The primary endpoint was the rate of successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation (VF) at the time of implant. The secondary endpoint was shock impedance. RESULTS: A total of 184 patients were included in the study. The rate of successful conversion of VF was 90.3% for obese patients (n = 72) and 96.4% for non-obese patients (n = 112) (p = 0.086). Compared to non-obese patients, obese patients had a higher mean PRAETORIAN score (78.5 ± 58.1 vs. 48.8 ± 35.5, p < 0.001) and higher measured mean impedance (82.0 ohms ± 26.5 vs. 69.8 ohms ± 19.3, p < 0.001). Patients with a PRAETORIAN score < 90 all had successful defibrillation testing regardless of BMI. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a PRAETORIAN score < 90 was associated with a 100% success rate of defibrillation testing following S-ICD implantation regardless of patient body mass index (BMI). Thus, the impact of obesity on impedance and the risk of failed shocks may be minimized with close attention to implantation technique to achieve a low PRAETORIAN score.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: With the increasing adoption of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures and the eligibility of patients for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) post device placement, we examined the feasibility and safety of laser balloon (LB) for PVI in patients with prior LAAO. METHODS: We retrospectively examined consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent, drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent LB PVI, after Watchman FLX device implantation at Rush University Medical Center between January 2020 and December 2021. RESULTS: Seven patients (four persistent and three paroxysmal) with a mean age of 64 ± 11 years, predominantly male sex (86%), were included in the study. Two (29%) patients had prior cryoablation PVI with recurrence of AF. The mean CHA2 DS2 VASc is 2.6 ± 0.5 and the mean HAS-BLED score is 3.4 ± 0.8. The mean follow-up duration was 10 ± 7 months. The mean duration between Watchman FLX device implantation and LB PVI was 592 days. Acute first pass left pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was achieved in 100% of the procedures. There were no periprocedural complications such as death, pericardial tamponade or effusion, phrenic nerve injury, PV stenosis, device perforation or embolization, or worsening peri-device leak in any of the patients. None of the patients had AF recurrence after the blanking period. CONCLUSION: LB PVI was safe and effective with 100% acute isolation of left-sided veins in patients with prior LAAO device.

RESUMO

Background: Persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high recurrence rates of AF and atypical atrial flutters or tachycardia (AFT) postablation. Laser balloon (LB) ablation of the pulmonary vein (PV) ostia has similar efficacy as radiofrequency wide area circumferential ablation (RF-WACA); however, an approach of LB wide area circumferential ablation (LB-WACA) may further improve success rates. Objective: To evaluate freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia (AFT/AF) recurrence postablation using RF-WACA versus LB-WACA in persistent AF patients. Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study. Patients were followed for up to 24 months via office visits, Holter, and/or device monitoring. The primary endpoint was freedom from AFT/AF after a single ablation procedure. Secondary endpoints included freedom from AF, freedom from AFT, first-pass isolation of all PVs, and procedural complications. Results: Two hundred and four patients were studied (LB-WACA: n = 103; RF-WACA: n = 101). Patients' baseline characteristics were similar except patients in the RF-WACA group were older (64 vs. 68, p = .03). First-pass isolation was achieved more often during LBA (LB-WACA: 88% vs. RF-WACA 75%; p = .04). Procedure (p = .36), LA dwell (p = .41), and fluoroscopy (p = .44) time were similar. The mean follow-up was 506 ± 279 days. Sixty-six patients had arrhythmic events including 24 AFT and 59 AF recurrences. LB-WACA group had higher arrhythmia-free survival (p = .009) after single ablation procedures. In the multivariate Cox regression model, RF-WACA was associated with a higher recurrence of AFT compared with LB-WACA (Adjusted HR 3.16 [95% CI: 1.13-8.83]; p = .03). Conclusions: LB-WACA was associated with higher freedom from atrial arrhythmias mostly driven by the lower occurrence of AFT compared with RF-WACA.

RESUMO

Transseptal left atrial catheterization is routinely used for many common catheter-based interventions. Tools for transseptal catheterization have advanced over the recent years. Such tools include imaging advances with intracardiac echocardiology as well as an array of needles, wires, and dilators to achieve transseptal access with greater ease and safety. This study will discuss the contemporary tools for transseptal catheterization and guidance for difficult cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ablation Index (AI) is a multiparametric quality marker to assess the durability of radiofrequency (RF) lesions. The comparative effectiveness and safety of AI versus time-based energy dosing for ablation of ventricular arrhythmias are unknown. OBJECTIVE: We compared AI and time-based RF dosing strategies in the left ventricles (LVs) of freshly harvested porcine hearts. METHODS: Ablation was performed in vitro with an open-irrigated ablation catheter (Thermocool ST/SF), 40 W, contact force 10-15 g. Tissue samples were stained in triphenyltetrazolium chloride for the measurement of lesion dimensions. RESULTS: A total of 560 lesions were performed (AI-group: [n = 360]; time-group: [n = 200]). Using normal saline (NS) (n = 280), growth in lesion depth slowed after 30 s and AI > 550 in comparison to width, volume, and magnitude of impedance drops which continued to increase with longer RF duration. Risk of steam pop (SP) was higher for RF > 30 s (RF < 30 s:1 SP [2.5%] vs. RF > 30 s: 15 SP [25%]; p = .002) or AI targets >550 (AI: 350-550: 2 SP [2%] vs. AI 600-750: 15 SP [19%]; p = .001). Using half-normal saline (HNS) (n = 280), lesion dimension and impedance drops were larger and growth in lesion depth slowed earlier (AI: 500). Risk of SPs was higher above AI 550 (AI: 350-550: 7 [7%] SPs vs. AI 600-750: 28 [35%] SPs; p < .00001). While codependent variables, correlation between AI and time was modest-to-strong but decreased with longer RF duration. CONCLUSION: In this ex vivo study, AI was a better predictor of lesion dimensions than ablation time and magnitude of impedance drop in the LV using NS and HNS irrigation. AI targets above 550 led to a higher risk of SPs. Future trials are required to verify these findings.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The coronary cusps (CCs) are utilized as an alternative vantage point for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of left ventricular summit ventricular arrhythmias but are sometimes a challenge despite favorable activation timing and pace mapping. METHODS: Ex vivo experiments were performed in 12 intact porcine hearts submerged in a 37°C saline bath. Radiofrequency (RF) applications were delivered with an irrigated contact force sensing catheter oriented 45° to the endocardial left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) surface and nadir of the CCs using different dosing parameters. Sections were stained in 2% triphenyltetrazolium chloride and lesion dimensions were measured. Thermal infrared imaging analysis was used to compare time-to-lethal tissue temperature and depth/area of lethal isotherms. RESULTS: A total of 60 RF applications were performed under different dosing parameters for (1) 30, 40, and 50 Watts (W) × 30 s and (2) 40 W × 30, 45, and 60 s. Lesion depth was greater with RFCA from LVOT than from the CCs (maximum depth 6.11 vs. 2.68 mm). Longer RF duration led to larger lesion volume in the CC group (40 W × 30 s: 8.1 ± 0.4 vs. 40 W × 60 s: 10.1 ± 0.96 mm; p = .002). One steam pop occurred in both the LVOT (50 W × 30 s) and CC groups (40 W × 60 s). Time-to-reach lethal temperature of 58°C was longer in the CC group than in the LVOT group (4.7 vs. 11.3 s; p = .02) CONCLUSIONS: RFCA from the CC led comparatively to shallower lesion depth than from the LVOT. Longer RF duration led to an increase in lesion volume during ablation from CCs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Application of electrocautery to a metal guidewire is used by some operators to perform transseptal puncture (TSP). Commercially available dedicated radiofrequency (RF) guidewires may represent a better alternative. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of electrified guidewires to a dedicated RF wire. METHODS: TSP was performed on freshly excised porcine hearts using an electrified 0.014″ or 0.032″ guidewire under various power settings and was compared to TSP using a dedicated RF wire with 5 W power (0.035″ VersaCross RF System, Baylis Medical). The primary endpoint was the number of attempts required to achieve TSP. Secondary endpoints included the rate of TSP failure, TSP consistency, the effect of the distance between the tip of the guidewire and the tip of the dilator, and effect of RF power output level. Qualitative secondary endpoints included tissue puncture defect appearance, thermal damage to the TSP guidewire or dilator, and tissue temperature using thermal imaging. RESULTS: The RF wire required on average 1.10 ± 0.47 attempts to cross the septum. The 0.014″ electrified guidewire required an overall mean of 2.17 ± 2.36 attempts (2.0 times as many as the RF wire; p < .01), and the 0.032″ electrified guidewire required an overall mean of 3.90 ± 2.93 attempts (3.5 times as many as the RF wire; p < .01). Electrified guidewires had a higher rate of TSP failure, and caused larger defects and more tissue charring than the RF wire. Thermal analysis showed higher temperatures and a larger area of tissue heating with electrified guidewires than the RF wire. CONCLUSION: Fewer RF applications were required to achieve TSP using a dedicated RF wire compared to an electrified guidewire. Smaller defects and lower tissue temperatures were also observed using the RF wire. Electrified guidewires required greater energy delivery and were associated with equipment damage and tissue charring, which may present a risk of thrombus, thermal injury, or scarring.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has been shown to be a feasible option for patients requiring ventricular pacing. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between LBBAP and RVP among patients undergoing pacemaker implantation METHODS: This observational registry included patients who underwent pacemaker implantations with LBBAP or RVP for bradycardia indications between April 2018 and October 2020. The primary composite outcome included all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization (HFH), or upgrade to biventricular pacing. Secondary outcomes included the composite endpoint among patients with a prespecified burden of ventricular pacing and individual outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 703 patients met inclusion criteria (321 LBBAP and 382 RVP). QRS duration during LBBAP was similar to baseline (121 ± 23 ms vs 117 ± 30 ms; P = .302) and was narrower compared to RVP (121 ± 23 ms vs 156 ± 27 ms; P <.001). The primary composite outcome was significantly lower with LBBAP (10.0%) compared to RVP (23.3%) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.46; 95%T confidence interval [CI] 0.306-0.695; P <.001). Among patients with ventricular pacing burden >20%, LBBAP was associated with significant reduction in the primary outcome compared to RVP (8.4% vs 26.1%; HR 0.32; 95% CI 0.187-0.540; P <.001). LBBAP was also associated with significant reduction in mortality (7.8% vs 15%; HR 0.59; P = .03) and HFH (3.7% vs 10.5%; HR 0.38; P = .004). CONCLUSION: LBBAP resulted in improved clinical outcomes compared to RVP. Higher burden of ventricular pacing (>20%) was the primary driver of these outcome differences.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in comparison to medical therapy alone is known to improve freedom from arrhythmia and quality of life, but the benefit regarding mortality is unclear. The publication of several recent large randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing ablation with medical therapy has warranted an updated meta-analysis. METHODS: We sought to compare the effectiveness of catheter ablation versus medical therapy only in patients with AF. MEDLINE, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched from inception until 04/30/2021. Relevant RCTs comparing catheter ablation versus medical therapy in patients with AF were selected. RESULTS: A total of 24 RCTs involving 5730 adult patients were included (2992 in catheter ablation and 2738 in medical therapy). There was a reduction in all-cause mortality with catheter ablation compared with medical therapy only (risk ratio (RR) 0.70 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.55-0.89]; p = .003). Catheter ablation also demonstrated a reduction in hospitalizations (RR 0.50 [95% CI 0.36-0.70]; p < .001), improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (mean difference [MD] + 5.94% [95% CI 0.40-11.48] p = .04), greater freedom from atrial arrhythmia (RR 2.23 [95% CI 1.79-2.76]; p < .001), and AF (RR 1.95 [95% CI 1.44-2.66]; p < .001). In subgroup analysis, catheter ablation demonstrated a significant reduction in mortality and hospitalizations among patients with reduced LVEF, and when ablation was compared with antiarrhythmic drug use. CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to medical therapy only, catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation reduces mortality, hospitalizations, and increases freedom from arrhythmia.

RESUMO

Study objective: Oral anticoagulants (direct oral anticoagulants [DOACs] or warfarin) prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but their use may be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to compare AKI risk across individual oral anticoagulants in patients with AF. Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Setting: Randomized trials and population-based studies. Participants: Patients with AF. Interventions: Oral anticoagulants. Main outcome measures: AKI. Results: A systematic literature search in Medline and Embase databases performed on December 17, 2021 identified ten randomized trials and eight population-based longitudinal studies based on prespecified inclusion criteria for systematic review. Clinical trials had short follow-ups and reported only low event rates of serious AKI. Retrospective longitudinal studies were assessed to be at higher risk for bias from confounding and outcome ascertainment, but follow-up was longer (1.5 to 8 years), with AKI incidence ranging from 2 to 29/100 person-years. Eight longitudinal studies that met transitivity assumption were included in a random-effects network meta-analysis within a Bayesian framework. All DOACs were associated with significantly lower risk of AKI compared to warfarin. Dabigatran was associated with lower risk of AKI compared to apixaban (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68-0.99), rivaroxaban (HR = 0.84; 95%CI: 0.72-0.98), and warfarin (HR = 0.68; 95%CI: 0.59-0.77). Effect size estimates varied by chronic kidney disease status and study geographic locations. Conclusion: Apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran were associated with lower long-term risk of AKI compared to warfarin among patients with AF, with dabigatran potentially associated with the lowest risk.
