The Japanese Catheter Ablation (J‐AB) registry, started in August 2017, is a voluntary, nationwide, multicenter, prospective, observational registry, performed by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society (JHRS) in collaboration with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center using a Research Electronic Data Capture system. The purpose of this registry is to collect the details of target arrhythmias, the ablation procedures, including the type of target arrhythmias, outcomes, and acute complications in the real‐world settings. During the year of 2021, we have collected a total of 89 609 procedures (mean age of 66.1 years and 65.9% male) from 506 participant hospitals. Detailed data are shown in Figures and Tables.

Introduction The electrophysiology field has progressed rapidly over the last 2 decades. No study has examined the characteristics of patients and types of electrophysiology procedures performed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is important given our distinctly different demographic composition and health system. As such, we sought to describe the characteristics of consecutive patients presenting for electrophysiology procedures in our tertiary care hospital. Methods Data was collected from the electrophysiology database at King Khalid University Hospital for procedures performed between April 2016 and November 2022. Patients’ characteristics were retrieved from the electronic medical record. Procedures were categorized into supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contraction and “complex ablations”, which included atrial fibrillation and scar-mediated ventricular tachycardia ablation. If no abnormality was found, the procedure was labeled as “normal EP study”. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to assess predictors of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia among patients presenting with undifferentiated supraventricular tachycardia. Results A total of 459 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 42.06 years (±14.89 years), and 256 (55.77 %) were females. The most common procedure was supraventricular tachycardia (n = 289/459, 63.24 %), and only 5 % had complex ablations. The most common type of supraventricular tachycardia ablated was found to be atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (n = 157/289, 54 %). Multivariate logistic regression revealed female sex and age to be independently associated with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (OR = 2.27 95 % CI [1.40–3.67]) for female sex and (OR = 1.02 95 % CI [1.01–1.04]) for every increase in age by 1-year Conclusion We reported a younger average age than other countries and less complex ablations. In addition, we reported 2 independent predictors of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in patients presenting with undifferentiated supraventricular tachycardia. Larger studies including multiple centers should be performed to confirm our findings.

“…The number of catheter ablations is increasing in Japan, 3 and many patients undergoing ablation therapy are in their active working phase or are students. Therefore, frequent hospital visits after catheter ablation represent a significant time burden for patients and their families.…”

“…Catheter ablation therapy for arrhythmias has markedly developed in recent years, and the number of catheter ablations is rapidly increasing in Japan; 3 however, this procedure carries a risk of recurrence of arrhythmia. Consequently, ECG monitoring and its duration are crucial factors for detecting arrhythmia after catheter ablation.…”

Background: There is a strong demand for remote monitoring systems to gather health data. This study investigated the safety, usefulness, and patient satisfaction in outpatient care using telehealth with real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring after catheter ablation. Methods and Results: In all, 38 patients who underwent catheter ablation were followed up using telehealth. At the 3- and 6-month follow-up, a self-fitted Duranta ECG monitoring device was sent to the patient’s home before the online consultation. Patients attached the devices themselves, and the doctors viewed the patients by video chat and performed real-time ECG monitoring. The frequency of hospital visits and the ECG monitoring duration were compared with conventional in-person follow-up data (n=102). The completion rate for telehealth follow-up was 32 of 38 patients (84%). The number of hospital visits during the 6 months was significantly lower with telehealth follow-up than with conventional follow-up (median [interquartile range] 1 [1–1] vs. 5 [3–5]; P<0.0001). However, the ECG monitoring duration was approximately 4-fold longer for the telehealth follow-up (median [interquartile range] 89 [64–117] vs. 24 [0.1–24] h; P<0.0001). No major adverse events were observed during the telehealth follow-up. Patient surveys showed high satisfaction with telehealth follow-up due to reduced hospital visits. Conclusions: A combination of telehealth follow-up with real-time ECG monitoring increased the ECG monitoring duration and patient satisfaction without any adverse events.
