Lightning strikes between clouds and ground objects occur when the difference in electrical potential between the two is greater than 30,000 Volts, as thus they are able to exceed the atmospheric electrical resistance, generating currents that vary from 30,000 to 100,000 Amperes, and lasting between 0.1–0.001 seconds. As per data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS)-equipped satellite…

Catheter ablation (CA) is a widely used first-line treatment for AF. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown its superiority to pharmacological treatment in terms of symptom control, rhythm control and mortality in selected patients; observational studies have also suggested a decreased risk of stroke.1,2 Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard endpoint, but studies have reported…

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is usually defined as death due to cardiac causes occurring within 1 hour of the onset of symptoms. Unexplained sudden death occurring in an individual older than 1 year of age is known as 'sudden unexplained death syndrome'. Unexplained sudden death occurring in an individual younger than 1 year of age is known as 'sudden unexplained death in infancy'. SCD with…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the clinical practice.1 The prevalence of the arrhythmia is progressively increasing in developed countries and moreover, it is expected to affect up to 12 million people only in the US by 2050.2 Antiarrhythmic drugs continue to represent the first-line of treatment in AF patients, either to restore sinus rhythm or to prevent…
