Objectives Previous studies have shown that left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) contribute to atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis. However, data on the impact of LVDD on AF recurrence after cryoballoon-based pulmonary…
Objectives Association between focal pulmonary vein (PV) potentials and atrial fibrillation (AF) has made circumferential PV isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon system the cornerstone of AF treatment. AF recurrence is mostly…
Background/Aim Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a method that has been applied in severe aortic stenosis (AS) treatment increasingly. Development of Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) after TAVI increases the…
Objective To work out a prognostic model of 5-year survival in patients with severe aortic stenosis, complicated with atrioventricular valves insufficiency. Methods A prospective non-randomized study was conducted considering all…
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been recognized as a primary strategy in treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS) in high-risk patients. Recently along with the progress of technology some…
Aim In patients with pulmonary dysfunction, it is unclear wheather transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is well tolerated or even beneficial. We investigated wheather transfemoral access valve implantation leads to…
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of QT interval, QT dispertion, and echocardiographic parameters in patients after transarterial valve implantation (TAVI). A retrospective analysis of…
Introduction 30% of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis do not undergo surgery for replacement of the aortic valve, owing to advanced age, left ventricular dysfunction, or the presence of…
Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) and echocardiographic parameters before and after Transarterial Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe aortic stenosis…
Objective Silent cerebral ischemia (SCI) is an embolic origin cerebrovascular lesion due to embolic vascular occlusion incidentally diagnosed. Coronary angiography (CAG) is established as the gold standard for the assessment…
