Enlarged right atrium predicts pacemaker implantation after atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2023; 49:101297. [PMID: 38035257 PMCID: PMC10682653 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2023.101297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Although catheter ablation (CA) of tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered to be an effective treatment strategy, pacemaker implantations (PMIs) are often required even after a successful CA. This study aimed to elucidate the clinical predictors of a PMI after CA. Methods From 2011 to 2020, 103 consecutive patients diagnosed with TBS were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Among the 103 patients, 54 underwent a PMI and 49 CA of AF. During 47.4 ± 35.4 months after 1.4 ± 0.6 CA sessions, 37 (75.5%) of 49 patients were free from atrial arrhythmia recurrences. PMIs were performed in 11 patients (PMI group) and the remaining 38 did not receive a PMI (non-PMI group). Results When comparing the PMI and non-PMI groups, there were no differences in the basic mean heart rate (P = 0.36), maximum pauses detected by 24-hour Holter-monitoring (P = 0.61), and other clinical parameters between the two groups while the right atrial area index was larger (42.1 ± 24.0 vs. 21.8 ± 8.4 cm2/m2 P = 0.002) in the PMI group than non-PMI group. The ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff point of the ratio of the right atrial area index to the left atrial area index for predicting a PMI following CA was 0.812 (Sensitivity 72.7%, specificity 71.1%, positive predictive value 42.1%, negative predictive value 90.0%, diagnostic accuracy 71.4%, AUC = 0.81). Conclusion Right atrial enlargement prior to CA was considered to be one of the risk factors for a PMI after CA of AF.

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol 2023; 46:1484-1490.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reports on the factors predicting long-term survival of CRT-D cases from Western countries are increasing, however, those from Asia including Japan are still sparse. We aimed to clarify the factors predicting long-term survival of Japanese CRT-D cases. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive 133 patients who underwent CRT-D implantation between 2006 and 2021. We compared clinical factors between patients who died within 5 years after implantation (short-survival group: n = 31) and who had survived for more than 5 years (long-survival group: n = 36) after implantation. RESULTS Major underlying heart diseases were dilated cardiomyopathy (45%) and ischemic heart disease (12%). There was no difference between the short-survival group and the long-survival group in incidence of CLBBB (32% vs. 30%), whereas CRBBB was more common in the short-survival group (26% vs. 0%, p = .004). Mechanical dyssynchrony at implantation was more frequent in the long-survival group (48% vs. 78%, p = .02). The incidence of response to CRT at 1 year after implantation was higher in long-survival group (19% vs. 50%, p = .02). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified NYHA class, mechanical dyssynchrony at implantation, and response at one year as predictors of long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS In Japanese CRT-D cases, lower NHYA class, preexisting mechanical dyssynchrony, and 1-year response to CRT predict long-term survival.

J Arrhythm 2023; 39:766-775. [PMID: 37799795 PMCID: PMC10549844 DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a novel conduction system pacing technique. In this multicenter study, we aimed to evaluate the procedural success, safety, and preoperative predictors of procedural failure of LBBAP. Methods LBBAP was attempted in 285 patients with pacemaker indications for bradyarrhythmia, which were mainly atrioventricular block (AVB) (68.1%) and sick sinus syndrome (26.7%). Procedural success and electrophysiological and echocardiographic parameters were evaluated. Results LBBAP was successful in 247 (86.7%) patients. Left bundle branch (LBB) capture was confirmed in 54.7% of the population. The primary reasons for procedural failure were the inability of the pacemaker lead to penetrate deep into the septum (76.3%) and failure to achieve shortening of stimulus to left ventricular (LV) activation time in lead V6 (18.4%). Thickened interventricular septum (odds ratio [OR], 2.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-5.35), severe tricuspid regurgitation (OR, 8.84; 95% CI, 1.22-64.06), and intraventricular conduction delay (OR, 8.16; 95% CI, 2.32-28.75) were preoperative predictors of procedural failure. The capture threshold and ventricular amplitude remained stable, and no major complications occurred throughout the 2-year follow-up. In patients with ventricular pacing burden >40%, the LV ejection fraction remained high regardless of LBB capture. Conclusions Successful LBBAP was affected by abnormal cardiac anatomy and intraventricular conduction. LBBAP is feasible and safe as a primary strategy for patients with AVB, depending on ventricular pacing.

Significance of effective cardiac resynchronization therapy pacing for clinical responses: An analysis based on the effective cardiac resynchronization therapy algorithm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High percent ventricular pacing maximizes cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. An effective CRT algorithm classifies each left ventricular (LV) pace as effective or ineffective on the basis of the detection of QS or QS-r morphology on the electrogram; however, the relationship between percent effective CRT pacing (%e-CRT) and responses is unclear. OBJECTIVE We aimed to clarify the association between %e-CRT and clinical outcomes. METHODS Of the 136 consecutive CRT patients, 49 using the adaptive and effective CRT algorithm with percent ventricular pacing > 90% were evaluated. The primary and secondary outcomes were heart failure (HF) hospitalization and prevalence of CRT responders, defined as patients with an improvement in LV ejection fraction of ≥10% or a reduction in LV end-systolic volume of ≥15% after CRT device implantation, respectively. RESULTS We divided the patients into the effective group (n = 25) and the less effective group (n = 24) by the median value of %e-CRT (97.4% [93.7%-98.3%]). During the median follow-up period of 507 days (interquartile range 335-730 days), the effective group had a significantly lower risk of HF hospitalization than the less effective group as revealed by Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank, P = .016). Univariate analysis revealed %e-CRT ≥ 97.4% (hazard ratio 0.12; 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.95; P = .045) as a predictor of HF hospitalization. The effective group had a higher prevalence of CRT responders than the less effective group (23 [92%] vs 9 [38%]; P < .001). Univariate analysis revealed that %e-CRT ≥ 97.4% (odds ratio 19.20; 95% confidence interval 3.63-101.00; P < .001) was a predictor of CRT response. CONCLUSION High %e-CRT is associated with high CRT responder prevalence and low HF hospitalization risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of arrhythmia in heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction (HFnon-rEF) in patients who have a history of hospitalisation is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of an implantable loop recorder (ILR) for arrhythmia detection including atrial fibrillation (AF) in HFnon-rEF patients after discharge. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a multicentre single arm study to evaluate the usefulness of ILR for detecting arrhythmia. The eligible patients are HFnon-rEF patients (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%) aged ≥20 years with a history of hospitalisation. The ILR will be implanted for qualified patients, and ECGs will be monitored and recorded for 1 year to check for arrhythmias. The primary endpoint is new-onset 6 min or more persistent AF detected by ILR. Secondary endpoints are 30 s or more persistent supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia, 3 s or more persistent pause, bradycardia with 40 beats per minutes or lower heart rate, AF burden, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, hospital readmission due to exacerbation of HF, acute coronary syndrome, ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, non-pharmacological therapy such as pacemaker implantation and ablation. CONCLUSIONS This study is expected to provide valuable findings regarding arrhythmia in HFnon-rEF patients, and elucidate a potential new therapeutic approach for HFnon-rEF. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This trial has been registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT) (Trial Registration: jRCTs052210060).

Abstract
The use of a defibrillator with a monitor is recommended for the shock indication algorithm for in-hospital cardiac arrest; however, it is likely that many medical facilities are still equipped only with automated external defibrillators (AEDs). We experienced a case of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) complicated by pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) in which an AED was used, but shock was deemed unnecessary after the first analysis. We believe that this case is suggestive of resuscitating cardiac arrest, for which defibrillation is indicated and reported here. A 65-year-old man who had DCM and diabetic nephropathy was admitted to our institution because of worsening heart failure. In the hospital, he suddenly had syncope and was diagnosed with cardiac arrest. Thereafter, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed using an AED, and the monitor on the AED showed pVT. The first analysis of the AED announced unnecessary shock delivery. The pads of the AED were pressed firmly against the chest wall while continuous high-quality CPR was administered for two minutes. The second analysis of the AED revealed the necessity of providing shock for shockable rhythm. The patient experienced the return of spontaneous circulation after shock delivery. We were reminded that there are some clinical cases in which AED shock is not indicated for pVT and that even in such cases, it is important to continue high-quality CPR without panicking.
