Cryoballoon vs. radiofrequency catheter ablation: insights from NOrwegian randomized study of PERSistent Atrial Fibrillation (NO-PERSAF study)
Shi, Libin; Rossvoll, Ole; Tande, Pål Morten; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Solheim, Eivind; Chen, Jian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is still regarded as a cornerstone for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). This study evaluated the effectiveness of PVI performed with cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in ... -
The impacts of contact force, power and application time on ablation effect indicated by serial measurements of impedance drop in both conventional and high-power short-duration ablation settings of atrial fibrillation
Shi, Libin; Wang, Yu-Chuan; Chu, Songyun; Bortoli, Alessandro De; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Solheim, Eivind; Chen, Jian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: This study aimed to clarify the interrelationship and additive effects of contact force (CF), power and application time in both conventional and high-power short-duration (HPSD) settings. Methods: Among 38 ... -
Loss of life years due to unavailable helicopter emergency medical service: a single base study from a rural area of Norway
Zakariassen, Erik; Østerås, Øyvind; Nystøyl, Dag Ståle; Breidablik, Hans Johan; Solheim, Eivind; Brattebø, Guttorm; Ellensen, Vegard Skalstad; Hoff, Jana Midelfart; Hordnes, Knut; Aksnes, Arne; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth; Hunskaar, Steinar; Hotvedt, Ragnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Despite the potential benefits of physician-staffed Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), many dispatches to primary HEMS missions in Norway are cancelled before patient encounter. Information is sparse ... -
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level at longterm follow-up after atrial fibrillation ablation: A marker of reverse atrial remodeling and successful ablation
Solheim, Eivind; Off, Morten Kristian; Hoff, Per Ivar; De Bortoli, Alessandro; Schuster, Peter; Ohm, Ole-Jørgen; Chen, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-13)Aims: We investigated the relationship between arrhythmia burden, left atrial volume (LAV) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) at baseline and after long-term follow-up of atrial fibrillation (AF) ... -
Radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. Clinical results and studies of mechanisms
Solheim, Eivind (Doctoral thesis, 2011-09-30)Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of sustained cardiac arrhythmia. AF requires a trigger that initiates the arrhythmia, and the presence of a predisposing substrate that perpetuates it. ... -
Remote magnetic versus manual catheters: evaluation of ablation effect in atrial fibrillation by myocardial marker levels
Solheim, Eivind; Off, Morten Kristian; Hoff, Per Ivar; De Bortoli, Alessandro; Schuster, Peter; Ohm, Ole-Jørgen; Chen, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-08)Background A remote magnetic navigation (MN) system is available for radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), challenging the conventional manual ablation technique. The myocardial markers were measured to ... -
Systemic Cardiac Troponin T Associated With Incident Atrial Fibrillation Among Patients With Suspected Stable Angina Pectoris
Vavik, Vegard; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Solheim, Eivind; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Tell, Grethe S.; Nygård, Ottar; Vikenes, Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Higher concentrations of cardiac troponin T are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and adverse cardiovascular prognosis. The relation with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is less explored. We studied this ... -
Thawing plateau time indicating the duration of phase transition from ice to water is the strongest predictor for long-term durable pulmonary vein isolation after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation—Data from the index and repeat procedures
Shi, Libin; Wollner, Kristian; Chu, Song-Yun; Wang, Yu-Chuan; Solheim, Eivind; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Chen, Jian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the durability of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and the time of phase transition from ice to water indicated by thawing plateau time in a cryoballoon ...
