    2019 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/LAHRS expert consensus statement on catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias
    (Oxford University Press, 2019-08) Cronin, Edmond M.; Bogun, Frank M.; Maury, Philippe; Peichl, Petr; Chen, Minglong; Namboodiri, Narayanan; Aguinaga, Luis; Leite, Luiz Roberto; Al-Khatib, Sana M.; Anter, Elad; Berruezo, Antonio; Callans, David J.; Chung, Mina K.; Cuculich, Phillip; d’Avila, Andre; Deal, Barbara J.; Bella, Paolo Della; Deneke, Thomas; Dickfeld, Timm-Michael; Hadid, Claudio; Haqqani, Haris M.; Kay, G.

    Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Rapid developments have taken place over the past decade in our understanding of these arrhythmias and in our ability to diagnose and treat them. The field of catheter ablation has progressed with the development of new methods and tools, and with the publication of large clinical trials. Therefore, global cardiac electrophysiology professional societies undertook to outline recommendations and best practices for these procedures in a document that will update and replace the 2009 EHRA/HRS Expert Consensus on Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias. An expert writing group, after reviewing and discussing the literature, including a systematic review and meta-analysis published in conjunction with this document, and drawing on their own experience, drafted and voted on recommendations and summarized current knowledge and practice in the field. Each recommendation is presented in knowledge byte format and is accompanied by supportive text and references. Further sections provide a practical synopsis of the various techniques and of the specific ventricular arrhythmia sites and substrates encountered in the electrophysiology lab. The purpose of this document is to help electrophysiologists around the world to appropriately select patients for catheter ablation, to perform procedures in a safe and efficacious manner, and to provide follow-up and adjunctive care in order to obtain the best possible outcomes for patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

    Advancing Research on the Complex Interrelations between Atrial fibrillation and Heart Failure: A Report from a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Virtual Workshop
    (American Heart Association, 2020-06-09) Al-Khatib, Sana M.; Benjamin, Emelia J.; Albert, Christine M.; Alonso, Alvaro; Chauhan, Cynthia; Chen, Peng-Sheng; Curtis, Anne B.; Desvigne-Nickens, Patrice; Ho, Jennifer E.; Lam, Carolyn S.P.; Link, Mark S.; Patton, Kristen K.; Redfield, Margaret M.; Rienstra, Michiel; Rosenberg, Yves; Schnabel, Renate; Spertus, John A.; Warner Stevenson, Lynne; Hills, Mellanie True; Voors, Adriaan A.; Cooper, Lawton S.; Go, Alan S.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The interrelationships between atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are complex and poorly understood, yet the number of patients with AF and HF continues to increase worldwide. Thus, there is a need for initiatives that prioritize research on the intersection between AF and HF. This report summarizes the proceedings of a virtual workshop convened by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to identify important research opportunities in AF and HF. Key knowledge gaps were reviewed and research priorities were proposed for characterizing the pathophysiological overlap and deleterious interactions between AF and HF; preventing HF in persons with AF; preventing AF in individuals with HF; and addressing symptom burden and health status outcomes in AF and HF. These research priorities will hopefully help inform, encourage, and stimulate innovative, cost-efficient, and transformative studies to enhance the outcomes of patients with AF and HF.
