J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol . 2022 Oct; 33(12):2467-2472. PMID: 36217995
Introduction: Recently, the wide-band dielectric mapping system Kodex-EPD was introduced. This study reports the first clinical experience using a novel system to guide pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with radiofrequency (RF) ...

Dtsch Arztebl Int . 2021 Nov; (Forthcoming). PMID: 34789364
Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia; the lifetime risk for a 55-year-old person to develop atrial fibrillation is 37%. In recent years, years there have...

Dtsch Med Wochenschr . 2021 Aug; 146(15):982-987. PMID: 34344034
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. The European Society of Cardiology released a new version of the guideline to streamline AF-management and current studies highlight the importance of...

J Am Heart Assoc . 2021 Jan; 10(3):e017451. PMID: 33455428
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is associated with a deterioration of clinical status. Ablation of symptomatic AF is an established therapy, but...

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol . 2019 Mar; 30(5):679-687. PMID: 30821012
Introduction: Long-term efficacy and safety are uncertain in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) and transvenous leads (TVL) undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus, we assessed...

JACC Clin Electrophysiol . 2018 May; 3(11):1262-1271. PMID: 29759622
Objectives: This study sought to compare long-term arrhythmia-free survival between electrical circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and PVI with the endpoint of unexcitability along the ablation line. Background: PVI is...

J Atr Fibrillation . 2017 May; 6(3):928. PMID: 28496899
Catheter ablation is a well established and widely used therapy option of atrial fibrillation. The use of 3D mapping systems to aid the ablation process has become standard in most...

Background: Extensive and repeated substrate modification (SM) is frequently performed as an ablation strategy in persistent atrial fibrillation (persAF). The effect of these extended ablation strategies on atrial function has...
