#jcdd #RecommendedPaper Title: News from the Cold Chamber: Clinical Experiences of POLARx versus Arctic Front Advance for Single-Shot Pulmonary Vein Isolation Keywords: atrial fibrillation; catheter ablation; cryoballoon; single-shot ablation devices AF ablation utilizing the POLARx system is associated with longer procedure and fluoroscopy times as well as lower nadir temperatures. 👉Read more at: https://brnw.ch/21wLgnO

#jcdd #RecommendedPaper Title: Electroporation Parameters for Human Cardiomyocyte Ablation In Vitro Keywords: hashtag hashtag #IrreversibleElectroporation; hashtag hashtag #AtrialFibrillation; hashtag hashtag #CardiacAblation This study presents important findings on the ability of different IRE parameters to induce human cardiomyocyte cell death. Lesion size can be tuned by appropriate choice of IRE parameters and cardiomyocytes display an upregulation of delayed cell death 24 h after electroporation, which is an important consideration for clinical practice. 👉Read more at: https://brnw.ch/21wLgnJ

#jcdd #RecommendedPaper Title: Effects of Exercise on Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: An Updated Review of Literature Keywords: exercise intolerance; heart failure; exercise; heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; cardiopulmonary exercise test; peak VO2 Considering that exercise training programs are able to improve the cardiorespiratory performance of HFpEF patients, the prescription of exercise training programs should be encouraged in stable HFpEF patients, and further research is needed to better elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning the beneficial effects described. 👉Read more at: https://brnw.ch/21wLgns
