Mapping and ablation of left atrial low voltage areas makes sense ! Results of the internatational, prospective RCT ERASE AF now online !
Low-Voltage Myocardium-Guided Ablation Trial of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation | NEJM Evidence https://t.co/fI7IsNedxh
Still wondering what to do with ❤️🩹LA low-voltage🤷♀️ - ERASE IT❗️Meta-analysis from N=1800 👫 is clear and consistent 🔎
👉further studies are likely redundant 🔄
👉approach should be offered to every patient 💯
👉regardless of AF subtype 🫰💖
@AMussigbrodtMD Thnx for this nice ecg! Higher degree AV block. that it happens during night and that it ends with a typical Wenckebach period favours very much for (benign) intranodal blockage. it was an incidental finding on holter and pat is asymptomatic regarding (pre-)syncope? Then no PM!
Prognostic impact of left atrial function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in sinus rhythm vs. per… https://t.co/c8P4PHamQM
In HFpEF patients in SR, impaired LA-EF is independently associated with worse cardiovascular outcome, which is similar to persistent AF.
Left atrial phasic transport function closely correlates with fibrotic and arrhythmogenic atrial tissue degeneration in #AFIB patients: #CMRfirst feature tracking and voltage mapping - see @ESC_Journals#EPeeps#EHRA_ESC@EHRAPresident
