The ideal pacing site in the ventricle(s) of patients with atrioventricular (AV) block has been debated for years. Despite considerable technological advances, the optimal ventricular pacing site to mimic normal human ventricular physiology and attain the best haemodynamic response remains elusive.1 Prolonged ventricular dyssynchrony induced by long-term right ventricular (RV) apical pacing is… View more

Defining Left Bundle Branch Block Patterns in Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy: A Return to His Bundle Recordings
Author(s): Roderick Tung , Gaurav A Upadhyay Added: 3 years ago
In 1970, Durrer et al. recorded the total excitation of the human heart with 870 electrodes and confirmed the first 10 ms of left ventricular (LV) activation as trifascicular in nature.1 The rapid and synchronous activation of the LV through the specialised His–Purkinje network is highly intricate and efficient, preserving normal physiological coupling between electrical excitation and mechanical… View more

CRT is an essential treatment for patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction as it can restore left ventricular (LV) electrical and mechanical synchrony. It has been shown to increase quality of life, improve functional status, reduce hospitalisation, improve LV systolic function and reduce mortality in properly selected patients.1,2 While CRT is an effective therapy, approximately… View more

Author(s): Angelo Auricchio Added: 3 years ago
Despite the fact that more than 20 years have passed since the clinical introduction of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), one of the key questions – do we need an ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in CRT patients? – is still unanswered. Prospective Randomised Controlled Trials Multiple prospective randomised controlled trials have been conducted to establish the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Richard Schilling Added: 3 years ago
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review (AER) has become one of the key ways that clinicians interested in heart rhythm management stay up to date with the latest science in electrophysiology. The quality of the articles has been crucial to the success of the journal and this is a result of the hard work of the contributors and the skill and dedication of the editorial team, led by Dr Demosthenes… View more
