Prognostic value of epicardial adipose tissue parameters assessed by computed tomography in predicting atrial fibrillation ablation efficacy

K Momot, Kamil Krauz, Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Edward Koźluk et autres

Abstract Background Recent studies indicate that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) significantly influences the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). An increase in EAT volume may correlate with a higher recurrence rate of arrhythmias following ablation procedures. Emerging data suggest that computed tomography (CT) …

Predictive Value of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Parameters Measured by Cardiac Computed Tomography for Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Karol Momot, Michał Pruc, Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Edward Koźluk et autres

Background: Despite advances in ablation strategies, a substantial proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) experience arrhythmia recurrence, highlighting the need for improved preprocedural risk stratification. One of the emerging factors associated with arrhythmogenic remodeling is epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), particularly in …

Fluoroscopy-free catheter ablation for right-sided accessory pathways: Feasibility, safety, and outcomes

Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Edward Koźluk, Kamil Krauz, Karol Momot et autres

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation (CA) with guidance using fluoroscopy and electroanatomic mapping (EAM) is the standard and most effective treatment for atrioventricular accessory pathways (AP). However, data on fluoroscopy-free CA with AP remains limited. AIMS: This study evaluated the feasibility of performing CA …

Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation of premature ventricular contractions: comparative outcomes from the right ventricular outflow tract and other ventricular sites

Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Karol Momot, Edward Koźluk, Agnieszka Piątkowska et autres

BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system allows performing catheter ablation (CA) without fluoroscopy in patients with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). The right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) location is favorable for performing zero-fluoroscopy CA. Non-RVOT zero-fluoroscopy CA is a challenging procedure. The …

Zero-fluoroscopy approach for radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided, idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias – feasibility, efficacy, and safety evaluation

Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Karol Momot, Edward Koźluk, Agnieszka Piątkowska et autres

Introduction: Catheter ablation (CA) is the standard treatment for patients with symptomatic, idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs): premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or sustained/non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. Three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3D EAM) systems enable accurate mapping of cardiac arrhythmias and precise catheter guidance, eliminating the …

Efficacy of Catheter Ablation Using the Electroanatomical System without the Use of Fluoroscopy in Patients with Ventricular Extrasystolic Beats

Dariusz Rodkiewicz, Edward Koźluk, Karol Momot, Karolina Rogala et autres

Background: Catheter ablation (CA) has become safe and efficient for the treatment of patients with ventricular extrasystolic beats (VEBs). The three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system allows the elimination of fluoroscopy time during CA procedures. Non-fluoroscopy CA is a challenging procedure requiring intimate …

An assessment of heart rate and blood pressure asymmetry in the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope in females

Rafał Pawłowski, Paweł Zalewski, Julia L. Newton, Agnieszka Piątkowska et autres

Introduction: Heart Rate Asymmetry (HRA) describes a phenomenon of differences between accelerations and decelerations in human heart rate. Methods used for HRA assessment can be further implemented in the evaluation of asymmetry in blood pressure variations (Blood Pressure Asymmetry—BPA). Methods: We have …

Periprocedural decrease in tumor necrosis factor alpha is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation

Ewa Szczerba, Edward Koźluk, Łukasz Januszkiewicz, Monika Lisicka et autres

Background: Concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) might be useful in selecting patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) who will benefit the most from pulmonary vein isolation.Material and methods: This is a prospective cohort study among patients with PAF who had …

Sequential changes in cellular properties accompanying amniote somite formation

Agnieszka Piątkowska, Kaustubh Adhikari, Adam A. Moverley, Mark Turmaine et autres

Somites are transient structures derived from the pre-somitic mesoderm (PSM), involving mesenchyme-to-epithelial transition (MET) where the cells change their shape and polarize. Using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy, we study the progression of these events along the tail-to-head axis …
