DOI: 10.1093/europace/euab116.251
Abstract: Type of funding sources: None. Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB) is an accepted method for ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). A three-month blanking period (BP) is commonly used in clinical trials and practice.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.14347
Abstract: Cardiac arrhythmias constitute a major public health problem. Pharmacological intervention remains mainstay to their clinical management. This, in turn, depends upon systematic drug classification schemes relating their molecular, cellular, and systems effects to clinical indications… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.15670
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with nearly half of all HFârelated deaths resulting from sudden cardiac death (SCD), most often from an arrhythmic event. The pathophysiologic changes that occur… read more here.

Evaluation of Index of Cardio-Electrophysiological Balance in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Antiarrhythmic-Drug Therapy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "cardiology research"
DOI: 10.14740/cr.v12i1.1185
Abstract: Background: Index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB) has been described as a novel risk marker for predicting malignant ventricular arrhythmia. There remains limited evidence on the effects of amiodarone and propafenone used for sinus rhythm maintenance… read more here.
