Syncope and palpitations are two common clinical presentations, and both pose difficulties in the approach to their management. They are both symptoms of a number of syndromes, and an efficient approach with targeted therapy is challenging. Cardiac arrhythmia specialists, who lack a compact and accessible guide to management, see many patients with these symptoms in consultation. Recognising this… View more

Balanced Evaluation of the ICD Although better known for his transformative contributions to arrhythmia mechanisms, mapping and ablation, Dr Josephson participated in investigational studies of the first implantable defibrillator2,3 and served as a principal investigator for the MUSTT (Multicenter Unsustained Tachycardia Trial) foundational trial of primary-prevention ICD therapy.4 In one of the… View more

Lightning strikes between clouds and ground objects occur when the difference in electrical potential between the two is greater than 30,000 Volts, as thus they are able to exceed the atmospheric electrical resistance, generating currents that vary from 30,000 to 100,000 Amperes, and lasting between 0.1–0.001 seconds. As per data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS)-equipped satellite… View more

Cardiac pathologists and electrophysiologists have studied the atrioventricular (AV) node for more than 100 years, since 1906, when Tawara first described the inferior extensions of the AV node in the human heart.1 Still, this important cardiac structure remains “a riddle wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma”, to recall the famous Churchill quotation. Perhaps the same can be said about… View more

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the Purkinje system is the most common type of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT), especially among young Asians.1,2 It usually has a benign course. Research over the past two decades has deepened our understanding of the anatomy of the Purkinje system and the mechanisms of ILVT. This review focuses on the research history and anatomy of… View more
