Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is associated with increased mortality in patients with a history of MI. ICD implantation is currently the standard of care for the prevention of sudden cardiac death, and contributes to a reduction of total mortality.1 Despite effective treatment of ventricular arrhythmias with the use of anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) or shocks, ICDs do not prevent VT. Furthermore,…

In the article by Tilz et al. entitled “Preventive Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients With Ischaemic Cardiomyopathy: Meta-analysis of Randomised Trials” (Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review 2019;8(3):173–9. https://doi.org/10.15420/aer.2019.31.3), the following correction should be made:
The authors acknowledge that Prof Tilz and Dr Eitel contributed equally as first authors to this…

The goal of arrhythmia eradication in AF continues to be elusive for cardiac electrophysiologists. Although endocardial radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is more effective than pharmacological management at maintaining sinus rhythm,1 it is far from perfect, especially in patients with non-paroxysmal AF.2 In an attempt to address this, attention has turned back to the surgical ablation that…

In this short late-breaking interview, Dr Jason Andrade (Vancouver General / Montreal Heart Institute, Montreal, CA) joins us at EHRA 2022 to outline the findings of a meta-analysis of EAST-AFNET 4. The main outcomes suggest that early rhythm control therapy is beneficial for AF patients, reducing their cardiovascular outcomes.
