Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease in industrialised countries with a prevalence of about 5 % in the general population aged greater than 75 years. During the past decade, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valuable, minimally invasive treatment option for patients presenting with symptomatic severe AS, who due to their advanced age and… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Mark E Josephson Added: 3 years ago
In patients with syncope or episodes of palpitations and heart disease, an electrophysiology study (EPS) may be of value by means of potential induction of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias.1,2 Programmed ventricular stimulation may be useful in the context of risk stratification of ischaemic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 30–40 %, and there has been some evidence… View more

Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis in 2020
Author(s): Nisha Gilotra , David Okada , Apurva Sharma , et al Added: 3 years ago
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory granulomatous disease that can affect any organ. Systemic sarcoidosis is known to affect young adults, with a second peak in women >50 years of age, as demonstrated in Scandinavian and Japanese studies.1–4 In the US, the lifetime risk of sarcoidosis is 2.4% for black people and 0.85% for white people.1 The incidence of cardiac involvement has been increasingly… View more

Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
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,… View more

Use of Electrophysiological Studies in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Author(s): Oholi Tovia-Brodie , Yoav Michowitz , Bernard Belhassen Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and an intermediate or high surgical risk.1,2 Recent promising reports suggest that it will also become standard therapy in low-risk patients.3,4 New conduction disturbances following the procedure requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) have been well… View more

Pacing and Defibrillators in Complex Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Henry Chubb , Mark O’Neill , Eric Rosenthal Added: 3 years ago
Device therapy is increasingly employed in the management of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Bradycardias, most often related to sinus nodal dysfunction (SND) or atrioventricular nodal (AVN) block, may necessitate the implantation of pacing devices, while malignant arrhythmias may be treated by appropriate use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, there is a complex… View more
