Safety and outcomes of pulsed field ablation in the management of supraventricular arrhythmia: A systematic review.

Introduction: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non-thermal ablative technology that induces irreversible electroporation to selectively target cardiac tissue while minimizing damage to adjacent structures. While widely studied for atrial fibrillation, its role in managing supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) remains unclear. This systematic review aims to consolidate existing data on the safety and efficacy of PFA for SVT ablation.

RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION AS A MORTALITY DETERMINANT FOR PATIENTS WITH CARDIOGENIC SHOCK INDUCED BY ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of in-hospital mortality. With the addition of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), it is associated with poorer outcomes. This study examines the impact of RVD on mortality in CS-AMI patients, highlighting the importance of early RVD identification and tailored management.
