Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is usually referred to as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D).1A first historical description was made in 1736, whereas its first modern description dates back to 1982.2 Initially, ACM was thought to be an embryological malformation.3 Yet in recent years it became evident that the pathophysiology of an ongoing genetically…

Catheter ablation therapy has been widely used for rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).1 Since the first report in 1994,2 several interventional techniques have been proposed for AF, including replication of the surgical Maze,2 targeting pulmonary vein (PV) foci,3 segmental ostial and circumferential PV isolation,4,5 ganglionated plexi ablation,6 linear lesions in the left…

The number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) has been increasing year-on-year.1 This, coupled with improvements in life expectancy,2 means that more elderly patients will meet the criteria for a CIED. National and international guidelines set out clear criteria and make recommendations for CIED use based on available evidence.3–6 However, the majority of clinical trials include few…

There was a joke years ago that no one understood electrophysiologists, or even wanted to, and that suited us just fine. We were happy to be isolated in our labs working on largely academic problems. Fast forward to now, and the monumental advances in our ability to map and ablate arrhythmias and in new strategies for implantable device therapy have thrust us into the realm of high-volume…

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are the most common ventricular arrhythmia. Their prognostic significance cannot be interpreted without considering the presence or absence of any associated underlying cardiac condition. In the absence of structural heart disease, PVCs were generally considered to be benign.1,2 In the 1970s and 1980s, it was postulated that frequent PVCs could be a trigger…

Although the exact circuit of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) still eludes us, AVNRT is the most common regular arrhythmia in humans, and therefore the most commonly encountered during ablation attempts for regular tachycardias.1–4 Catheter ablation for AVNRT is the current treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. It reduces arrhythmia-related hospitalisations and costs,…
