Imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic/parasympathetic) is known to contribute to the pathophysiology of multiple cardiovascular diseases, including AF, MI (and related ventricular arrhythmias) and heart failure. The concept of neuro-immune axis has been proposed to tightly integrate the brain–heart–periphery axis, which is characterised by various pathways of the anti… View more

The structural and/or functional abnormality of the cardiac electrovascular system is the most common cause of world mortality accounting for 29.0 % of deaths, followed by infectious diseases (16.2 %) and cancers (12.6 %) (WHO 2008 report). 1 Abnormalities in the cardiac electrical system (arrhythmias and sudden death) and/or mechanical function (heart failure) constitute one of the major causes… View more

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening sequela found in patients with cardiomyopathy. ICDs can terminate ventricular arrhythmias, but recurrent device shocks lead to reduced quality of life and are associated with higher mortality.1–5 Radiofrequency catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment for VT refractory to anti-arrhythmic therapy and has also been shown to reduce… View more

Myocardial scars from infarction or replacement fibrosis in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies are the common substrate for sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT).1,2 In selected patients at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias, placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is effective for prevention of sudden cardiac death.2 Although ICDs are effective in terminating VT… View more

Catheter ablation therapy has been widely used for rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).1 Since the first report in 1994,2 several interventional techniques have been proposed for AF, including replication of the surgical Maze,2 targeting pulmonary vein (PV) foci,3 segmental ostial and circumferential PV isolation,4,5 ganglionated plexi ablation,6 linear lesions in the left… View more
