Accurate substrate characterisation is important for depicting scar-related re-entrant tachycardia to optimise ablation targets and strategies. The underlying substrate can be analysed using electrogram (EGM) characteristics, such as low voltage, local abnormal voltage activity (LAVA), evoked potentials or late potentials, conduction analysis in sinus rhythm or differential pacing, or using…

In this interview, Dr Jagmeet Singh (Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, US) discusses the Phase I results of the Solve-CRT Study presented at ESC's Heart Rhythm Society event in 2021. This study is a multicenter pivotal trial, investigating the safety of the WiSE CRT System in leadless cardiac resynchronization therapy.

AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. It is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure (HF), and is a significant global health challenge.1 Catheter ablation procedures, which isolate the pulmonary veins (PV) from the left atrium and prevent AF initiation, are effective and safe treatment options, and have emerged as the preferred rhythm control…

Despite the clear improvements in clinical outcomes brought about by medical therapy with β-blockers, ACE inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists, as well as by device therapy with cardiac resynchronisation, many patients with chronic heart failure (HF) remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy. Symptomatic HF can have devastating consequences for the quality of life of individuals, and…

Numerous large clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in selected populations.1,2 These results and advances in defibrillation therapies have led to an impressive expansion of ICD implants and indications in recent decades. Although initially focusing on secondary prevention, current ICD indications…

The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia is AF, which is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure, and represents a significant global health burden.1 Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard treatment for symptomatic, drug resistant paroxysmal and persistent AF.2 Radiofrequency (RF) ablation, the most widely used ablation technique, aims to achieve circumferential…
