There are few radiofrequency ablation side effects. The main one is some discomfort, including swelling and bruising at the site of the treatment. You can put an ice pack on the sore area, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, to help relieve this. Make sure you don’t put ice directly on ...
Conclusion The observed lower risk of dementia and mortality with catheter ablation could be an important consideration when determining appropriate patient‐centered rhythm control strategies for patients with AF. Further studies including data on the success of ablation are required....
Multi-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in the collinear pulse configuration with time-integrating detection was performed on metallic samples in ambient air in an effort to clarify the contributing processes responsible for the signal enhancement observed in comparison with single-pulse ex...
The temperature probe was positioned on the trailing edge of the esophagus to continuously measure the luminal esophageal temperature (LET) during ablation. Once the system was sufficiently advanced into the esophagus, based on fluoroscopy by radiopaque markers on the system, either liquid barium ...
drag lesions, perpetual motion or painting techniques to keep the RF generator on while moving the ablation catheter to a new site, one should remain at each spot for approximately 8–9 s for higher CF sites and for a few seconds longer at lower CF sites, before moving on to the next ...
The trial has obtained IRB approval and focuses on determining the safe and effective radiation dose to be employed in the STAR procedure. Trial registration NCT05594368.Background Cardiovascular diseases account for 32% of deaths globally and 45% of deaths in Europe [1, 2]. Sudden cardiac ...
The underlying constraint of ultrashort pulsed laser ablation in both the clinical and micromachining setting is the uncertainty regarding the impact on the composition of material surrounding the ablated region. A heat model representing the laser-tissue interaction was implemented into a finite element...
It is important to note that SA mice had lower food intake on HFD compared to WT mice which reduced the weight gain in these animals. Attenuating body weight gain by pair-feeding WT and SA mice eliminated differences in HFD-induced AT/AF but not PACs in WT mice compared to SA mice. Th...
However, such a stratification had its own limitations in terms of unequal percentages of eyes in each myopia subgroup that may have resulted in a lower statistical power and potential statistical bias. On the other hand, finding out that the custom-Q profile has achieved comparable results to ...
In univariate analysis, lower body mass index, discharge on antiarrhythmic medication, history of prior MIL, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, larger left atrial size, and failure to achieve acute MIL block were all associated with OAT recurrence (Table 3). In multivariate analysis, only ...
