The Risk of Atrial Arrhythmias in Inherited Primary Arrhythmia Syndromes The inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by mutations in genes encoding for cardiac ion channels. People affected by one of these inherited diseases have no overt structural cardiac abnormalities but are at higher risk of sudden cardiac death due to the occurrence of… View more

The monitoring of atrial fibrillation (AF) can be performed using a great variety of strategies and tools. Strategies range from monitoring only symptomatic AF (e.g., post-catheter ablation with or without surface electrocardiogram [ECG] documentation) to continuously monitoring heart rhythm using implantable pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or subcutaneous implantable… View more

AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and carries an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. The latest estimates on the prevalence of AF portray an alarming scenario, with a steep increase in the number of people developing AF and prediction that the number affected will more than double in the next 40 years.1 Among the strategies to restore and maintain sinus… View more

Dear Sir, Thank you for the opportunity to address the reader’s very important question regarding the roles of various connexin isoforms in the complex function of the human AV node.1 These isoforms can serve as a rate-dependent AV conduction axis during normal sinus rhythm or a lifesaving filter of high-frequency excitation produced by atrial tachyarrhythmias or as a backup junctional pacemaker… View more

Atrial Tachycardias After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: How to Manage?
Author(s): Yuan Hung , Shih-Lin Chang , Wei-Shiang Lin , et al Added: 3 years ago
AF is the most common clinical arrhythmia that causes severe adverse cardiovascular events, such as ischaemic stroke and acute heart failure.1 Triggers from the pulmonary vein (PV) have been identified as crucial ectopic sources that initiate AF and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone for catheter ablation of AF.2,3 Per the European and US AF guidelines, catheter ablation of AF is… View more

There are numerous conglomerations of autonomic ganglia on the epicardial surface of the heart, known as ganglionated plexi (GP). These GP have been shown to play a significant role in different arrhythmias, including AF. As such, GP ablation has become an adjunctive procedure in the treatment of AF. This review will present the current data on the significance of GP in arrhythmogenesis and will… View more

Although there is no formal database of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States, the prevalence and incidence of CHD can be estimated and extrapolated from data in the Canadian providence.1 As such, the prevalence of CHD in the United States has been estimated in 2010 to be around 2.4 million people (1.4 million adults and 1 million children), with an incidence of between… View more
