Phenotypic analysis of persistent atrial fibrillation focusing on post-ablation prognosis using brain natriuretic peptide-related factors
ajconline.org
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a key predictor of clinical events after catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF), but BNP levels are influenced by multiple factors. It remains unclear how these factors affect prognosis in AF patients after CA. Persistent AF (PerAF) patients undergoing initial CA were enrolled. Independent factors associated with BNP levels were identified using multivariable analysis. A total of 554 patients with high BNP (>100 pg/mL) were classified by hierarchical cluster analysis incorporating these factors.

Reoperative Arch Replacement: Outcomes and Technical Considerations
Reoperative total arch replacement (TAR) following prior cardiovascular surgery presents significant technical challenges and is associated with higher risk profiles. With increasing numbers of patients undergoing reoperation as a result of successful outcomes from primary procedures, we sought to compare the clinical outcomes of reoperative TAR with those of first-time TAR.
