    Abstract Background: Safe discontinuation of pacemaker therapy for vagally mediated bradycardia is a dilemma. The aim of the study was to present the outcomes of a proposed diagnostic and therapeutic process aimed at discontinuing or not restoring pacemaker therapy (PPM) in patients with vagally mediated bradycardia.
    Methods: The study group consisted of two subgroups of patients with suspected vagally mediated bradycardia who were considered to have PPM discontinued or not to restore their PPM if cardioneuroablation (CNA) would successfully treat their bradycardia. A group of 3 patients had just their pacemaker explanted but reimplantation was suggested, and 17 patients had preexisting pacemakers implanted. An invasive electrophysiology study was performed. If EPS was negative, extracardiac vagal nerve stimulation (ECVS) was performed. Then, patients with positive ECVS received CNA. Patients with an implanted pacemaker had it programmed to pace at the lowest possible rate. After the observational period and control EPS including ECVS, redo-CNA was performed if pauses were induced. The decision to explant the pacemaker was obtained based on shared decision making (SDM).
    Results: After initial clinical and electrophysiological evaluation, 17 patients were deemed eligible for CNA (which was then performed). During the observational period after the initial CNA, all 17 patients were clinically asymptomatic. The subsequent invasive evaluation with ECVS resulted in pause induction in seven (41%) patients, and these patients underwent redo-CNA. Then, SDM resulted in the discontinuation of pacemaker therapy or a decision to not perform pacemaker reimplantation in all the patients after CAN. The pacemaker was explanted in 12 patients post-CNA, while in 2 patients explantation was postponed. During a median follow-up of 18 (IQR: 8-22) months, recurrent syncope did not occur in the CNA recipients.
    Conclusions: Pacemaker therapy in patients with vagally mediated bradycardia could be discontinued safely after CNA.

    Abstract Background: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the slow pathway in atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is associated with high efficacy and low risk of total perioperative or late atrioventricular block. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of slow-pathway RFCA for AVNRT using a zero-fluoroscopy approach.
    Methods: Data were obtained from a prospective multicenter registry of catheter ablation from January 2012 to February 2018. Consecutive unselected patients with the final diagnosis of AVNRT were recruited. Electrophysiological and 3-dimensional (3D) electroanatomical mapping systems were used to create 3D maps and to navigate only 2 catheters from the femoral access. Acute procedural efficacy was evaluated using the isoproterenol and/or atropine test, with 15-min observation after ablation. Each case of recurrence or complication was consulted at an outpatient clinic during long-term follow-up.
    Results: Of the 1032 procedures, 1007 (97.5%) were completed without fluoroscopy. Conversion to fluoroscopy was required in 25 patients (2.5%), mainly due to an atypical location of the coronary sinus (n = 7) and catheter instability (n = 7). The mean radiation exposure time was 1.95 ± 1.3 min for these cases. The mean fluoroscopy time for the entire study cohort was 0.05 ± 0.4 min. The mean total procedure time was 44.8 ± 18.6 min. There were no significant in-hospital complications. The total success rate was 96.1% (n = 992), and the recurrence rate was 3.9% (n = 40).
    Conclusion: Slow-pathway RFCA can be safely performed without fluoroscopy, with a minimal risk of complications and a high success rate.

    Title translation Atypical form of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with atrial fibrillation in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome complicated with ventricular fibrillation: the diagnostic problems.
    Abstract Atypical form of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is associated with regional wall motion abnormalities in basal and/or middle segments or only middle segments with sparing of apical segments or apical and basal segments. We described a case of47-year-old female with atypical form of TTC due to fast atrial fibrillation that converted into ventricular fibrillation in WPW syndrome. The echocardiogram made after direct current cardioversion revealed decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF 35%) with akinesis of inferior and posterior walls and anterior part of interventricular septum in the middle and the basal segments with hyperkinesis of apical segments. The biochemistry blood samples revealed elevated both troponin T- 0.35 ng/mL and NT-proBNP - 3550 pg/mL plasma level. The ECG showed sinus rhythm 62 bpm, shortened PQ interval 100 ms, widened QRS duration - 115 ms with delta wave, prolonged QT interval - 520 ms, QS in leads: II, III, aVF. NegativeT waves in leads: I, aVL and positive, symmetrical T waves in leads V1-V6. The coronarography revealed normal coronaryarteries. The control echocardiography after 10 days showed normal LVEF 70%, without any wall motion abnormalities. TTC was recognised based on: history of sudden stress situation before, ischaemic ECG changes, positive markers of myocardial injury, transient segmental wall motion abnormalities and normal coronary arteries. The ablation of right postero-septal accessory pathway was successfully performed.

    Abstract Purpose: During incremental atrial pacing in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, the PR interval often exceeds the RR interval (PR > RR) during stable 1:1 AV conduction. However, the PR/RR ratio has never been evaluated in a large group of patients with pacing from the proximal coronary sinus and after isoproterenol challenge. Our study validates new site of pacing and easier method of identification of PR > RR.
    Material and methods: A prospective protocol of incremental atrial pacing from the proximal coronary sinus was carried out in 398 patients (AVNRT-228 and control-170). The maximum stimulus to the Q wave interval (S-Q = PR), SS interval (S-S), and Q-Q (RR) interval were measured at baseline and 10 min after successful slow pathway ablation and after isoproterenol challenge (obligatory).
    Results: The mean maximum PR/RR ratios at baseline were 1.17 ± 0.24 and 0.82 ± 0.13 (p < 0.00001) in the AVNRT and controls respectively. There were no PR/RR ratios ≥1 at baseline and after isoproterenol challenge in 12.3% of the AVNRT group and in 95.9% of the control group (p < 0.0001). PR/RR ratios ≥1 were absent in 98% of AVNRT cases after slow pathway ablation/modification in children and 99% of such cases in adults (P = NS). The diagnostic performance of PR/RR ratio evaluation before and after isoproterenol challenge had the highest diagnostic performance for AVNRT with PR/RR > = 1 (sensitivity: 88%, specificity: 96%, PPV-97%, NPV-85%).
    Conclusions: The PR/RR ratio is a simple tool for slow pathway substrate and AVNRT evaluation. Eliminating PR/RR ratios ≥1 may serve as a surrogate endpoint for slow pathway ablation in children and adults with AVNRT.

    Abstract Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an established effective method for the treatment of typical cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent atrial flutter (AFL). The introduction of 3-dimensional electro-anatomic systems enables RFCA without fluoroscopy (No-X-Ray [NXR]). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of CTI RFCA during implementation of the NXR approach and the maximum voltage-guided (MVG) technique for ablation of AFL.Data were obtained from prospective standardized multicenter ablation registry. Consecutive patients with the first RFCA for CTI-dependent AFL were recruited. Two navigation approaches (NXR and fluoroscopy based as low as reasonable achievable [ALARA]) and 2 mapping and ablation techniques (MVG and pull-back technique [PBT]) were assessed. NXR + MVG (n  =  164; age: 63.7 ± 9.5; 30% women), NXR + PBT (n  =  55; age: 63.9 ± 10.7; 39% women); ALARA + MVG (n  =  36; age: 64.2 ± 9.6; 39% women); and ALARA + PBT (n  =  205; age: 64.7 ± 9.1; 30% women) were compared, respectively. All groups were simplified with a 2-catheter femoral approach using 8-mm gold tip catheters (Osypka AG, Germany or Biotronik, Germany) with 15 min of observation. The MVG technique was performed using step-by-step application by mapping the largest atrial signals within the CTI.Bidirectional block in CTI was achieved in 99% of all patients (P  =  NS, between groups). In NXR + MVG and NXR + PBT groups, the procedure time decreased (45.4 ± 17.6 and 47.2 ± 15.7 min vs. 52.6 ± 23.7 and 59.8 ± 24.0 min, P < .01) as compared to ALARA + MVG and ALARA + PBT subgroups. In NXR + MVG and NXR + PBT groups, 91% and 98% of the procedures were performed with complete elimination of fluoroscopy. The NXR approach was associated with a significant reduction in fluoroscopy exposure (from 0.2 ± 1.1 [NXR + PBT] and 0.3 ± 1.6 [NXR + MVG] to 7.7 ± 6.0 min [ALARA + MVG] and 9.1 ± 7.2 min [ALARA + PBT], P < .001). The total application time significantly decreased in the MVG technique subgroup both in NXR and ALARA (P < .01). No major complications were observed in either groups.Complete elimination of fluoroscopy is feasible, safe, and effective during RFCA of CTI in almost all AFL patients without cardiac implanted electronic devices. The most optimal method for RFCA of CTI-dependent AFL seems to be MVG; however, it required validation of optimal RFCA's parameters with clinical follow-up.
