Personal History Professor Richard Sutton was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, Great Britain in 1940. His father was an ENT specialist. “I decided to be a doctor at the age of 15. My father told me if I want to be a doctor, I had to work hard. I graduated from high school with the best grade.” 5 His first job was at Plymouth General Hospital as a house surgeon in General Surgery. He decided… View more

Since the 1960s, Holter monitoring has been a cornerstone for diagnosing suspected arrhythmias in patients of all ages.1 The most common monitoring systems allow the continuous registration of three or more leads for 24–48 hours; newer Holter monitors allow continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) registration for 2 weeks.1 Extending the time of ECG registration will increase the diagnostic yield of… View more

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… View more

Heart rate and blood pressure are tightly regulated by autonomic control to effect adequate blood flow as needed. This regulatory process breaks down when the vasovagal reflex is activated. Profound, but brief, circulatory collapse manifests as bradycardia (cardioinhibitory response) and/or hypotension (vasodepressor response) and/or altered cerebral autoregulation, resulting in transient loss of… View more

AF is the most commonly encountered atrial arrhythmia in clinical practice. Restoration of normal sinus rhythm through catheter- and surgically based approaches has been increasingly used as technologies and outcomes have improved.1 Success rates for AF ablation vary greatly depending on the duration of AF (more successful for paroxysmal AF, less successful in persistent AF and even less so for… View more
