Patients who developed cardiotoxicity were more likely to receive third-line cancer treatments and had lower final LVEF than patients without (54.9% ± 6.3% vs 64% ± 4.9%, p less then 0.001). Of the 23 patients with cardiotoxicity, 10 (43%) had trastuzumab interrupted for at least 1 cycle, only 7 (30%) patients were seen by a cardiologist and 4 (17%) received cardiac medications. In conclusion, patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving prolonged trastuzumab therapy appear to have high rates of cardiotoxicity. This was associated with high rates of trastuzumab interruption, but low rates of cardiology referral and cardiac treatment, reflecting a potential cardiac care gap. Pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Radiofrequency (RF) represents a standard of care for pulmonary vein isolation, whereas cryoballoon (CB) ablation has emerged as a valid alternative. The aim of our meta-analysis was to explore the efficacy and safety of CB compared with RF as first ablation procedure for AF. We searched the literature for studies that investigated this issue. The primary efficacy outcome was AF recurrence. The safety outcomes were pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, phrenic nerve palsy, vascular complications, and major bleedings. Fourteen randomized controlled studies and 34 observational studies were included in the analysis. A total of 7,951 patients underwent CB ablation, whereas 9,641 received RF ablation. Mean follow-up was 14 ± 7 months. Overall, CB reduced the incidence of AF recurrence compared with RF ablation (relative risk [RR] 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78 to 0.94; p = 0.001), and this result was consistent across different study design and AF type. CB had a significantly higher rate of phrenic nerve palsy, whereas it was related to a lower incidence of pericardial effusi
