Use of Electrophysiological Studies in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Author(s): Oholi Tovia-Brodie , Yoav Michowitz , Bernard Belhassen Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and an intermediate or high surgical risk.1,2 Recent promising reports suggest that it will also become standard therapy in low-risk patients.3,4 New conduction disturbances following the procedure requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) have been well… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Rakesh Gopinathannair , Benjamin C Salgado , Brian Olshansky Added: 3 years ago
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

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Pasquale Santangeli , Luigi Di Biase , Eloisa Basile , et al Added: 3 years ago
The number of invasive electrophysiological procedures is steadily increasing in Western countries, as techniques advance and the age of the population increases. Gender exerts a profound influence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation of many cardiac rhythm disorders, and all these factors may affect the outcome of invasive electrophysiological procedures. Disturbingly,… View more

The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) for management of cardiac conditions has over the last few years been associated with higher infection rates.1 Expanded CIED use alone cannot account for this rise,2–4 which involves both patient- and device-related factors. Indeed patients are tending to be older and presenting with co-morbidities, while devices are becoming… View more

Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is effective and safe. However, infections related to CIED treatment may have devastating consequences, causing significant morbidity, mortality and generating considerable healthcare costs.1–6 Temporal trends in CIED treatment indicate a disproportional increase in CIED infections relative to implantation rates.1,7,8 Reasons for this trend are… View more

Implantable Cardiac Electronic Devices in the Elderly Population
Author(s): Wei-Yao Lim , Sandeep Prabhu Added: 3 years ago
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
