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…

Over the last few decades an increasing body of evidence has supported the role of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D [with defibrillator] and CRT-P [without defibrillator]) in improving quality of life and survival.1 In addition, there has been a…

Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is the most effective long-term therapy for end-stage heart disease, with implanted left ventricular assist devices (‘destination therapy’) as an alternative for selected patients. The denervation of the transplanted heart with complete loss of autonomic nervous system modulation, the use of immunosuppressant drugs, as well as the risk of allograft rejection…

Ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VAs) most commonly occur early in ischaemia, and patients presenting with an acute MI and ventricular arrhythmias are a group that has a significantly increased risk of mortality.1,2 Thrombolysis primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and use of beta-blockers, while resulting in the modification of the natural history of an infarct, have also reduced the…

Oesophageal injury prevention has become a major concern in the field of electrophysiology since the first case of atrio–oesophageal fistula was reported as a complication of endocardial surgical radiofrequency ablation (RFA),1 with Scanavacca et al. and Pappone et al. subsequently reporting this complication in patients who underwent percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF.2,3 It is…

Maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with non-paroxysmal AF is often challenging and complex. Catheter ablation is usually superior to anti-arrhythmic drug therapy alone. However, recurrence rates are high and have remained suboptimal. Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is usually effective in treating paroxysmal AF, it is not sufficient for many patients with non-paroxysmal AF,…
