Advanced catheter-based technologies employed for the ablation of symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) have revolutionised the management of this common sustained arrhythmia. In the late 1990s, premature depolarisations originating from the myocardial sleeves within the pulmonary veins were recognised to initiate AF. This landmark discovery rendered pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as the…

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…

Recurrent episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structural heart disease are associated with increased mortality and morbidity, despite the life-saving benefits of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs).1,2 Because ICD therapies are abortive and do not alter the underlying arrhythmogenic substrate, their reduction becomes important, especially as recurrent shocks can cause…

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia, is a leading cause of stroke, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite its frequency, clinical importance, and advances in technology and our knowledge of the molecular, ionic and physiological fundamentals of cardiac electrophysiology, our limited understanding of the mechanisms that initiate and…

Dr Andreu-Porta-Sánchez provides Arrhythmia Academy with a concise and excellent 'how-to' overview of Decrement Evoked Potential (DEEP) Mapping for VT substrate ablation in a challenging substrate. With special thanks to Veronica Torralba for her technical support in recording the case.
Further presentations from Dr Porta-Sánchez on DEEP mapping will be delivered at the following upcoming…
