Predicting early reconnection after cryoballoon ablation with procedural and biophysical parameters.
Keçe F, de Riva M, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Wijnmaalen AP, Mertens BJ, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Background: Predicting early reconnection/dormant conduction (ERC) immediately after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) can avoid a waiting period with adenosine testing. Objective: To identify procedural and biophysical parameters predicting ERC. Methods: Consecutive atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing a first cryoballoon ablation (Arctic Front Advance) between 2014 and 2017 were included. ERC was defined as manifest or dormant pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection with adenosine 30 minutes aft...

Prehospital triage of patients with acute cardiac complaints: study protocol of HART-c, a multicentre prospective study.
de Koning E, Biersteker TE, Beeres S, Bosch J, Backus BE, Kirchhof CJ, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Silvius HA, Schalij M, Boogers MJ
Introduction: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a major healthcare problem associated with worse patient outcomes and increased costs. Attempts to reduce ED overcrowding of patients with cardiac complaints have so far focused on in-hospital triage and rapid risk stratification of patients with chest pain at the ED. The Hollands-Midden Acute Regional Triage-Cardiology (HART-c) study aimed to assess the amount of patients left at home in usual ambulance care as compared with the new prehos...

An initial exploration of subtraction electrocardiography to detect myocardial ischemia in the prehospital setting.
Ter Haar CC, Peters RJG, Bosch J, Sbrollini A, Gripenstedt S, Adams R, Bleijenberg E, Kirchhof CJHJ, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Burattini L, de Winter RJ, Macfarlane PW, Postema PG, Man S, Scherptong RWC, Schalij MJ, Maan AC, Swenne CA
Background: In the prehospital triage of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia, reliable myocardial ischemia detection in the electrocardiogram (ECG) is pivotal. Due to large interindividual variability and overlap between ischemic and nonischemic ECG-patterns, incorporation of a previous elective (reference) ECG may improve accuracy. The aim of the current study was to explore the potential value of serial ECG analysis using subtraction electrocardiography. M...

Optimizing ablation duration using dormant conduction to reveal incomplete isolation with the second generation cryoballoon: A randomized controlled trial.
Keçe F, de Riva M, Naruse Y, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Wijnmaalen AP, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Introduction: Efficacy of cryoballoon ablation depends on balloon-tissue contact and ablation duration. Prolonged duration may increase extracardiac complications. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal additional ablation duration after acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Methods: Consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF were randomized to three groups according to additional ablation duration (90, 120, or 150 seconds) after acute PVI (time-to-isolation). Primary outcome was reconne...

Impact of left atrial box surface ratio on the recurrence after ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation.
Keçe F, Scholte AJ, de Riva M, Naruse Y, Watanabe M, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Background: The posterior wall of the left atrium (LA) is a well-known substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) maintenance. Isolation of the posterior wall between the pulmonary veins (box lesion) may improve ablation success. Box lesion surface area size varies depending on the individual anatomy. This retrospective study evaluates the influence of box lesion surface area as a ratio of total LA surface area (box surface ratio) on arrhythmia recurrence. Methods: Seventy consecutive patients with...

Incidence and Clinical Significance of Cerebral Embolism During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation With Duty-Cycled Phased-Radiofrequency Versus Cooled-Radiofrequency: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Keçe F, Bruggemans EF, de Riva M, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Wijnmaalen AP, Meulman TJ, Brugman JA, Rooijmans AM, van Buchem MA, Middelkoop HA, Eikenboom J, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to randomly compare the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral embolism (ACE) between the second-generation pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC Gold) and the irrigated Thermocool catheter. Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with the PVAC is associated with ACE. The PVAC Gold was designed to avoid this complication. Methods: Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were randomized 1:1 to PVI with the PVAC Gold or Thermocool catheter. Cerebral m...

Effect of Non-fluoroscopic Catheter Tracking on Radiation Exposure during Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Four ablation systems.
Naruse Y, Keçe F, de Riva M, Watanabe M, Wijnmaalen AP, Dehnavi RA, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Background: A novel non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking system (Mediguide) can be used in combination with a 3D mapping system for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, the benefit on radiation exposure of the Mediguide system compared to other ablation systems is unknown. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled consecutive 73 patients (51 men; 59±11 years; 60 paroxysmal AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation by the same operator. Radiation time, radiation effective dose, procedure time, AF r...

Mobile phones in cryptogenic strOke patients Bringing sIngle Lead ECGs for Atrial Fibrillation detection (MOBILE-AF): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Treskes RW, Gielen W, Wermer MJ, Grauss RW, van Alem AP, Dehnavi RA, Kirchhof CJ, van der Velde ET, Maan AC, Wolterbeek R, Overbeek OM, Schalij MJ, Trines SA
Background: Recently published randomised clinical trials indicate that prolonged electrocardiom (ECG) monitoring might enhance the detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) patients. A device that might be suitable for prolonged ECG monitoring is a smartphone-compatible ECG device (Kardia Mobile, Alivecor, San Francisco, CA, USA) that allows the patient to record a single-lead ECG without the presence of trained health care staff....

Association of lung function measurements and visceral fat in men with metabolic syndrome.
Thijs W, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Hiemstra PS, de Roos A, Melissant CF, Janssen K, Tamsma JT, Rabe KF
Background: Several studies have reported a positive relationship between lung function impairment and the metabolic syndrome. This is most usually explained by abdominal adiposity. We hypothesized that the main determinant of the association between lung function impairment and abdominal obesity is the presence of visceral fat. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analysis of 98 non-diabetic men aged between 50 and 70 years with the metabolic syndrome. The amount of visceral and subc...
