Efficacy of sacubitril-valsartan vs. angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers in preventing atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Herz; 50 (2), 2025
BACKGROUND: Patients who have undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) may experience recurrence of this condition. The efficacy of sacubitril-valsartan (S/V) in preventing AF recurrence compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (AR...

Sacubitril-Valsartan lowers atrial fibrillation recurrence and left atrial volume post-catheter ablation: systematic review and meta-analysis

Am. j. cardiovasc. drugs; 25 (2), 2025
INTRODUCTION: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have undergone catheter ablation, the comparative effectiveness of sacubitril-valsartan (SV) versus ACE inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB) in preventing AF recurrence remains unclear. The purpose of the present systematic r...

Combined left atrial appendage occlusion and catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation versus isolated left atrial appendage occlusion: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Int. j. cardiol; 421 (), 2025
BACKGROUND: Data on the effects of combined left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) remain limited. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing LAAO and CA versus isolated LAAO. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Emba...

Cardioneuroablation in patients with vasovagal syncope: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Heart rhythm; 22 (2), 2025
BACKGROUND Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel procedure that shows promising results in reducing syncope recurrence in patients with refractory vasovagal syncope (VVS). However, its effectiveness and safety remain controversial. OBJECTIVE We conducted an updated meta-analysis evaluating CNA efficacy an...

Blood pressure control and clinical outcomes after renal denervation through irrigated catheter radiofrequency ablation in patients with resistant hypertension: A case series with up to 10 years of follow-up

INTRODUCTION: The long-term efficacy of renal denervation (RDN) has not been extensively documented. AIM: To describe the long-term follow-up of patients after RDN. METHODS: We evaluated patients with resistant hypertension (RH) who underwent RDN with irrigated catheter from 2012 to 2014 at a single cent...

Catheter ablation approach and outcome in HIV+ patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Circulation; 150 (Suppl. 1), 2024
BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. However, limited data exist on the outcomes of catheter ablation in patients infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV+) with concomitant AF. OBJECTIVES: This syste...

Hybrid epicardial and endocardial ablation versus endocardial ablation in patients with persistent and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Circulation; 150 (Suppl. 1), 2024
BACKGROUND: Some studies suggest a potential benefit of hybrid ablation for patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), but its efficacy and safety remain debated. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of hybri...

Algoritmo EPM: uma abordagem passo a passo para localização de via acessória na pré-excitação ventricular
EPM algorithm: a step-by-step approach for accessory pathway localization in ventricular pre-excitation

Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 37 (suppl.9), 2024
INTRODUÇÃO: Aestimativa precisa da localização da via acessória (VA) em pacientes com pré-excitação ventricular ou síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) continua sendo um desafio diagnóstico. Algoritmos existentes têm contribuído significativamente nessa área, mas abordagens alternativas p...

Ablação de taquicardia ventricular em pacientes com cardiomiopatia chagásica dilatada: mortalidade em 30 dias pós procedimento
Ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients with dilated chagasic cardiomyopathy: mortality within 30 days after the procedure

Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 37 (suppl.9), 2024
INTRODUÇÃO: A ablação por cateter de Taquicardia Ventricular (TV) em pacientes com Cardiomiopatia Chagásica Dilatada (CCD) pode ser desafiadora devido à complexidade do substrato. Afinalidade do procedimento é a redução do número de TVs e de terapias dos cardiodesfibriladores implantáveis, res...
