Dear Sir, I read with great interest the comprehensive review of Dr Brugada and Dr Keegan on asymptomatic pre-excitation, and the issues of risk stratification and need for catheter ablation.1 Perhaps the authors would like to comment on two additional studies that have just appeared, but contain vital information for the appropriate management of these patients. The first study emanates from a… View more

Dear Sir, We appreciate the interest of Dr Eleftherios Giozitzoglou in our work.1 In the first retrospective registry,2 in which more than 300,000 individuals had an ECG over a period of 11 years (29 % of total population), a separate analysis of asymptomatic subjects and sudden cardiac death was not addressed in the group of 310 subjects with ventricular pre-excitation. However, and… View more

Between Sudden Cardiac Death and Catheter Ablation
Author(s): Josep Brugada , Roberto Keegan Added: 3 years ago
The best clinical approach to managing asymptomatic patients with ventricular pre-excitation has yet to be established. The clinical benefit of identifying and treating asymptomatic patients at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been debated since catheter ablation became effective and safe for the treatment of accessory pathways (APs). Data supporting current recommendations are mostly… View more

In 1941, Mahaim and Winston described the histology of anomalous connections that arise from the AV node and insert into the right ventricle.1 This was the first description of nodoventricular or so-called Mahaim accessory pathways. Accessory pathways with decremental conduction properties that connected the atrium to the right bundle branch (RBB) were subsequently mapped mainly at the lateral… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Richard Schilling Added: 3 years ago
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review (AER) has become one of the key ways that clinicians interested in heart rhythm management stay up to date with the latest science in electrophysiology. The quality of the articles has been crucial to the success of the journal and this is a result of the hard work of the contributors and the skill and dedication of the editorial team, led by Dr Demosthenes… 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

Heart Failure
Author(s): Rajiv Sankaranarayanan , Eleanor J Fleming , Clifford J Garratt Added: 3 years ago
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disorder worldwide with a prevalence of 1 in 500 in the general population.1 It can be defined as a condition that is typified by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the absence of other cardiac or non-cardiac conditions that could produce hypertrophy of similar proportions.2 The condition was the first… View more
