Author(s): Daniele Muser , Simon A Castro , Jackson J Liang , et al Added: 3 years ago
The role of catheter ablation (CA) in the management of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is becoming increasingly relevant, having repeatedly shown its superiority to medical therapy in reducing the arrhythmic burden, thus improving prognosis and quality of life in patients with structural heart disease presenting with VT.1–4 In such patients, recurrent VT and heart failure (HF) status are connected… View more

Impact of Micro-, Mini- and Multi-Electrode Mapping on Ventricular Substrate Characterisation
Author(s): Benjamin Berte , Katja Zeppenfeld , Roderick Tung Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Challenges Associated with Interpreting Mechanisms of AF
Author(s): Caroline H Roney , Andrew L Wit , Nicholas S Peters Added: 3 years ago
Determining optimal treatment strategies for complex arrhythmogenesis in AF is confounded by the lack of consensus on the mechanisms causing AF. Fundamental to defining arrhythmogenic mechanisms of AF are the distinctions and interplay between functional features (determined by the electrophysiology of a cell) and structural features (determined by whether a structural or anatomical feature is… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Richard Schilling Added: 3 years ago
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review (AER) has become one of the key ways that clinicians interested in heart rhythm management stay up to date with the latest science in electrophysiology. The quality of the articles has been crucial to the success of the journal and this is a result of the hard work of the contributors and the skill and dedication of the editorial team, led by Dr Demosthenes… View more

HRS 2020: CONVERGE Trial
Author(s): David DeLurgio Added: 3 years ago
Dr David B DeLurgio (Emory St Joseph’s Hospital, Atlanta, GA, US) describes the need of the CONVERGE trial, to investigate how persistent atrial fibrillation should be treated through ablation techniques. The CONVERGE trial was designed to compare the effectiveness of adding epicardial left atrial posterior wall ablation to the endocardial catheter ablation procedure while demonstrating an… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Marius Andronache , Nikola Drca , Graziana Viola Added: 3 years ago
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… View more
