This aim of this statement is to report an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of
cardiac dysfunction in β-thalassemia major (TM). This consensus statement does not cover …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical
outcomes up to 1 year in patients undergoing combined simultaneous thoracoscopic …

Background Although catheter ablation (CA) is successful for the treatment of paroxysmal
atrial fibrillation (AF), results are less satisfactory in persistent AF. Hybrid ablation (HA) …

characterized asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in a 'real …

Background The optimal rhythm management strategy for people with non‐paroxysmal
(persistent or long‐standing persistent) atrial fibrilation is currently not well defined …

Background—The post–second-generation cryoballoon (CB) ablation isolation area during
the chronic phase has not been described. The aim of this study was to quantitatively …

Background: Hot balloon ablation (HBA) and cryoballoon ablation (CBA) were developed to
