The esophageal effects of cryoenergy during cryoablation for atrial fibrillation
Humera Ahmed,Petr Neuzil,Andre d'Avila,Yong Mei Cha,Margaret Laragy,Karel Mares,William R. Brugge,David G. Forcione,Jeremy N. Ruskin,Douglas L. Packer,Vivek Y. Reddy +10 more
TL;DR: Cryoballoon ablation can cause significant LET decreases, resulting in reversible esophageal ulceration in 17% of patients, and no ulcerations occurred with adjunctive spot cryoablation at regions near the esophagus during radiofrequency ablation procedures.

Comparison of Echocardiographic Dyssynchrony Assessment by Tissue Velocity and Strain Imaging in Subjects With or Without Systolic Dysfunction and With or Without Left Bundle-Branch Block
Chinami Miyazaki,Brian D. Powell,Charles J. Bruce,Raul E. Espinosa,Margaret M. Redfield,Fletcher A. Miller,David L. Hayes,Yong Mei Cha,Jae K. Oh +8 more
TL;DR: A substantial proportion of normal subjects have tissue velocity–derived dyssynchrony indexes higher than the cutoff value proposed for predicting beneficial effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy, and strain-derived timing index appears to be more specific for dystolic dysfunction and left bundle-branch block.

Failing atrial myocardium: energetic deficits accompany structural remodeling and electrical instability.
Yong Mei Cha,Petras P. Dzeja,Win Kuang Shen,Arshad Jahangir,Chari Y.T. Hart,Andre Terzic,Margaret M. Redfield +6 more
TL;DR: Myocardial bioenergetic deficits are a conserved feature of dysfunctional atrial and ventricular myocardium inCHF and may constitute a component of the substrate for AF in CHF.

Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity
Yong Mei Cha,Paul A. Friedman,Samuel J. Asirvatham,Win Kuang Shen,Thomas M. Munger,Robert F. Rea,Peter A. Brady,Arshad Jahangir,Kristi H. Monahan,David O. Hodge,Ryan A. Meverden,Bernard J. Gersh,Stephen C. Hammill,Douglas L. Packer +13 more
TL;DR: Coexistence of atrial fibrillation and obesity indicated lower SF-36 scores, but the improvement in quality of life was consistent across all body mass index categories.
