Atrial fibrillation (AF) is escalating into an epidemic throughout the world with more than a million people in the US developing the disease every year. In fact, the prevalence in the US and Europe has totalled over 14 million patients and is growing at an alarming rate.1,2 Costs of managing AF are spiralling out of control with hospitalisations growing much faster than those for other… View more

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… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the world and a leading cause of hospitalisation and death.1 Current therapy for AF remains suboptimal, in large part because its mechanisms are uncertain. However, recent advances in our understanding of human AF, from meticulous mapping in patients and insights from animal models, are providing new therapeutic options for patients. … View more

The Electrocardiogram In the entire realm of his work, Dr Josephson’s greatest love was the simple electrocardiogram (ECG). His discernment, based on the ECG, into the patient’s history and disease processes was legendary. Among the more important and insightful contributions he made to our understanding of heart disease and arrhythmias from the ECG are: observations of alternating preexcitation… View more

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… View more
