The ablation is where they punch a hole in your groin stick a piece of metal up your arteries into your heart. Burning stuff inside your heart so that your heart stays in rhythm. I’ve had two of them. I’m extremely thankful for all the above. “If you’re reading this… Congratula...
Last hope for patients with heart failure is heart transplantation.1-3 In University Hospital Centre Zagreb all types of treatment for heart failure patients is available and for the first time in Croatia this year we did stereotactic body radiation therapy which obviously was not "magic b...
In the PARAGON trial in patients with an LVEF > 45%, the angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan did not significantly reduce the primary endpoint of CV death and total HF hospitalizations [23]. It is interesting to acknowledge a number of secondary analyses tha...
The rates of reporting all-cause hospitalization did not improve across time (OR per 10-year increase, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.51-1.19) (Figure 1). There was no association between reporting all-cause hospitalization and the covariates that were associated with the ratio of HF to all-cause ...
We present the case of a pregnant woman with Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome with recurrent episodes of tachycardia, refractory to antiarrhythmic drug therapy, who underwent catheter ablation of a left lateral accessory pathway without the use of fluoroscopy. Ulises Rojel, Ingrid Lopez, Carlos de la...
It was shown that acute ablation of both cardiac Mfn1 and Mfn2 makes the heart resistant to acute myocardial infarction [39]. This adds value to our result, as irisin might also protect the heart against myocardial infarction by inhibition of Mfn1 gene expression. As concluded in a systematic...
This test is done by inserting an electrode catheter into a blood vessel (usually in your groin) that leads to your heart in order to record your heart’s electrical activity and/or to trigger an arrhythmia to identify an electrical current’s specific pathway. A procedure called ablation—whe...
The good thing, though, was that the doctor had been able to do the ablation, so the Afib should be gone, at least until the new pacemaker was implanted. And I will say, the doctor did not look happy about the change in plans for his patient. Neither was I, and I knew Ben wouldn...

We developed a NYHA functional classification model for heart failure based on a deep learning method. We introduced an integrating attention mechanism based on the CNN-LSTM-SE model, segmenting the ECG signal into 2 to 20 s long segments. Ablation experiments showed that the 12 s ECG sign...
