Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare but severe genetic cardiac arrhythmia disorder. Clinically, CPVT most often presents in childhood with symptoms such as syncope or sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation typically triggered by exercise or emotions in the absence of structural heart disease.1 Mutations… View more

CV Disease in Special Populations

The implantation of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D [with defibrillator] and CRT-P [with pacemaker]) devices are lifesaving procedures, and the expanding indications for device use have led to a marked increase in implantation procedures in… View more

Is There a Future for Remote Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Management?
Author(s): Haran Burri Added: 3 years ago
Remote follow-up and monitoring of patients implanted with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has been introduced over a decade ago, and is now indicated according to European (class IIa indication1) and American (class I indication2) guidelines. There have been high expectations that this technology will improve patient outcome, as it significantly shortens response to actionable… View more

Unmasking Adenosine: The Purinergic Signalling Molecule Critical to Arrhythmia Pathophysiology and Management
Author(s): Gareth DK Matthews , Andrew Grace Added: 3 years ago
The use of adenosine in cardiology is ubiquitous. From arrhythmia to coronary intervention to cardiac imaging, adenosine is an essential part of everyday practice because of its widespread effects on electrophysiology and the coronary vasculature. Electrophysiologists will be most familiar with adenosine for its use in terminating supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) that are dependent on the… View more

2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline on AF Diagnosis & Management
Author(s): Jose A Joglar Added: 2 months ago
Dr Jose Joglar (UT Southwestern, US) joins us virtually to discuss the 2023 guidelines for atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosis and management.These guidelines are an update to the 2014 document covering the full spectrum of managing patients with AF, from prevention to lifetime interventions, to rhythm and rate control, as well as special populations. A new classification of AF has been created,… View more

Atrial Septal Defects and Patent Foramen Ovale Nomenclature The atrial septum is a complex structure, with the true septum comprised of two layers containing a potential flap valve. The septum primum extends from caudal to cranial within the atria, on the left side of the septum secundum. The septum secundum is a crescent-shaped infolding of the atrial roof, extending from the anterosuperior… View more

The Convergent AF Ablation Procedure: Evolution of a Multidisciplinary Approach to AF Management
Author(s): Karan Wats , Andy Kiser , Kevin Makati , et al Added: 3 years ago
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

Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, its prevalence is relatively low in the young and middle-aged, ranging from 0.5 % in men below 40 years to 1 % by 60 years.1,2 Regular exercise is proposed as a powerful tool for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, reducing most of the risk factors that predispose to AF,… View more
