Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Historical Precedents Brugada syndrome (BrS) was first described more than 25 years ago as a clinical entity in people resuscitated from sudden cardiac death due to documented VF.1 The original 1992 case series described eight patients without apparent structural heart disease who all had VF associated with persistent coved ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.1 In 1996 this… View more

Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and AF
Author(s): Ghanshyam Shantha , Frank Pelosi , Fred Morady Added: 3 years ago
Prevalence of AF and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Nonvalvular AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia, affecting nearly 3 million adult Americans.1–4 By 2050, nearly 12–15 million adults in the US will have AF.1 The global prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is also increasing. OSA is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, affecting 10–15% of the general population (6–9% in… 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

Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Although the exact circuit of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) still eludes us, AVNRT is the most common regular arrhythmia in humans, and therefore the most commonly encountered during ablation attempts for regular tachycardias.1–4 Catheter ablation for AVNRT is the current treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. It reduces arrhythmia-related hospitalisations and costs,… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) classically focuses on eliminating triggers near and from the pulmonary veins, which may initiate AF. However, the 1–2 year success rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains 40–50% for persistent AF1,2 and 50–65% for paroxysmal AF,3–5 while supplementary linear lesions or extensive ablation at electrogram-targets have had disappointing results and may… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Sunil Kapur , Moussa Mansour Added: 3 years ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting more than three million Americans.1 The management of AF revolves around the alleviation of symptoms related to an accelerated and irregular ventricular response, and the prevention of cardioembolism, notably stroke. In patients with AF, there is a fivefold increased incidence of embolic stroke.2 The prevention of systemic… View more
