Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia with a relevant socio-economic impact.1–3 Patients with atrial fibrillation are characterised by symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath; they have reduced exercise capacity and are subject to a higher risk of thromboembolic events. In spite of a relatively simple diagnosis, management of AF patients is difficult for… View more

Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are typically a manifestation of significant structural heart disease and often associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) remain the mainstay of therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death associated with these arrhythmias.1 However, ICDs treat the arrhythmia after… View more

Dear Sir, I read with great interest the elegant review by Mukherjee and colleagues on prophylactic VT ablation in the latest issue of the journal (AER 6(3)125-8).1 The concept is indeed revolutionary, and should extend the boundaries of interventional electrophysiology. However, such an approach cannot be feasible without rationalising patient selection. Current guidelines’ recommendations,… View more
