Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disorder, with an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance.1,2 It has a prevalence of 1 in 500 within the general population, and is a known cause of sudden cardiac death.2,3 Recognised autosomal dominant mutations within sarcomere proteins are found in 55 % of adolescents with sporadic HCM.4 Characteristic echocardiographic…

Heart failure (HF) and AF are two conditions that are increasing in prevalence worldwide.1,2 They frequently co-exist and in recent years, the clinical and physiological intersection between arrhythmia and HF has become an area of renewed interest, particularly as interventional treatments for rhythm disorders have advanced and moved into the mainstream of cardiac management. In particular, AF,…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and may be associated with symptoms, haemodynamic impairment and frightening embolic complications. In 1998 recommendations on the management of AF were reported by the Working Group of Arrhythmias of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). 1 The American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American…

The term ‘flutter’ was coined to designate the visual and tactile rapid, regular atrial contraction induced by faradic stimulation in animal hearts, in contrast with irregular, vermiform contraction in atrial fibrillation (AF).1,2 On the ECG, flutter was a regular continuous undulation between QRS complexes at a cycle length (CL) of ≤250 ms (≥240 bpm). Slower tachycardias displaying discrete P…

AF is the most common arrhythmia and about 10% of the general population above the age of 65 years are affected by this condition.1 The mortality and morbidity of AF is well established, with a higher risk of stroke and heart failure in older patients with comorbidities.2 The pathophysiology of AF is complex and variable, making its management extremely challenging. Epidemiological studies have…

HCN4 (hyperpolarisation-activated, cyclic nucleotide gated 4) channels, the pore-forming α–subunits of ‘funny’ channels originally described in pacemaker cells of the sinoatrial node (SAN),1 are responsible for the early phase of diastolic depolarisation in these cells and are key determinants of pacemaker generation and control of heart rate.2–5 HCN4 channels are selectively expressed in the SAN…
