Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia that represents an important burden on healthcare systems. The presence of AF is associated with an increased risk of conditions such stroke, heart failure and dementia. Further, AF is associated with increased mortality. Over the past half century, significant advances have been made in understanding the pathobiology of AF. Important… View more

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is one of the most challenging medical conditions faced by cardiac patients and physicians treating them. Antiarrhythmic medications have limited effectiveness and are frequently poorly tolerated.1–4 Catheter ablation is increasingly used to treat patients successfully.1,5–7 Most VTs can be ablated endocardially but some require epicardial mapping and ablation… View more

One-stage Approach for Hybrid Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
Author(s): Vincent Umbrain , Christian Verborgh , Gian-Battista Chierchia , et al Added: 3 years ago
The current option for refractory treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) includes hybrid AF-surgery.1–2 The hybrid approach was originally a combination of mini-invasive surgical epicardial evaluation and ablation, as well as endocardial electrophysiologist (EP) catheter ablation with the intention of creating a lesion set to cure AF.3 In the search for greater efficacy with less patient… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): William J Hucker , Jagmeet P Singh , Kimberly Parks , et al Added: 3 years ago
The interplay between the central nervous system and cardiac electrophysiology is fundamental, and becomes obvious each time one’s pulse quickens in response to stress. Normally, cardiac neurohormonal regulation is accomplished through the balanced effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic stimulation, along with the hormonal regulation of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS)… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Marco Alings Added: 3 years ago
Atrial Fibrillation(AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with the highest prevalence in elderly patients, and is characterised by an irregular heart rhythm that may result in clots in the heart that can spread throughout the circulatory system. It is seen in approximately 2 % of the European adult population and is a significant cause of increasing healthcare costs in developed countries.1… View more

Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are commonly associated with structural heart disease and have substantial impact on patient outcomes and health system costs. Within the realm of cardiomyopathy (CM), there has been substantial progress with respect to ischaemic CM (ICM) in the understanding of infarct related scar biology and scar-mediated ventricular tachycardia (VT). This has led to interventions… View more
