Dear Sir, We read with great interest the meta-analysis by Pearman et al.1 on the comparison between epicardial ablation for atrial fibrillation and the hybrid approach. The authors should be commended on the way they handled the data. The imbalance between the two meta-analytic cohorts – in terms of the type of atrial fibrillation and left atrial diameter – may have worked to the detriment of… View more

Ultrasound-guided Axillary Vein Puncture in Cardiac Lead Implantation: Time to Move to a New Standard Access?
Author(s): Ana Paula Tagliari , Adriano Nunes Kochi , Bernardo Mastella , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), ICD and CRT devices, are the mainstream therapy for many potentially lethal heart conditions, such as advanced atrioventricular block or sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. CIEDs can be implanted through endovascular or epicardial routes, with the former used the most because it is less invasive… View more

EHRA 23: CEASE-AF: Combined Surgical & Catheter Ablation Approach in LSPAF
Added: 1 year ago
EHRA 2023 — Investigator, Prof Nicolas Doll (Schuechtermann-Klinik, DE) joins us to discuss the take-home messages from the international prospective randomised multi-centre CEASE-AF study (NCT02695277). In a randomized controlled trial, 146 patients were enrolled to compare the safety, efficacy, and quality of life outcomes of a combined epicardial surgical plus endocardial catheter technique… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Saagar Mahida , Benjamin Berte , Seigo Yamashita , et al Added: 3 years ago
Since the first catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmia more than three decades ago, ablation technology has continually evolved at a rapid pace. Much of the early progress in the field was made in ablation of supraventricular tachycardias. Following a seminal study from Haïssaguerre et al.1 in 1998, which demonstrated that pulmonary vein triggers are important sources of atrial fibrillation (AF… View more

His–Purkinje Conduction System Pacing: State of the Art in 2020
Author(s): Ahran D Arnold , Zachary I Whinnett , Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman Added: 3 years ago
Right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP) results in dyssynchronous ventricular activation that can lead to impairment of ventricular function. Alternative myocardial pacing sites such as RV septal pacing (RVSP) and RV outflow tract pacing still rely on myocardial cell-to-cell conduction and have not been shown to prevent pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.1 Biventricular pacing (BVP) certainly improves… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Nishant Verma , Bradley P Knight Added: 3 years ago
A Brief History of Cardiac Pacing Electrical stimulation of the heart was used sporadically throughout the 19th century, generating a set of case reports, largely related to attempts to resuscitate people.1 The contemporary field of cardiac pacing emerged in the 20th century (Figure 1). The first use of pacemakers in a modern sense was in the late 1920s when Australian anaesthetist Mark Lidwell… View more
