Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, occurring in approximately 2 % of the general population.1–3 A progressive increase in both the prevalence and incidence of AF has been demonstrated in recent years, defining AF as a major economic and public health issue.1
The identification of sites of AF initiation and/or maintenance within…

AF is the most common arrhythmia and about 10% of the general population above the age of 65 years are affected by this condition.1 The mortality and morbidity of AF is well established, with a higher risk of stroke and heart failure in older patients with comorbidities.2 The pathophysiology of AF is complex and variable, making its management extremely challenging. Epidemiological studies have…

Early repolarisation pattern is defined electrocardiographically by a distinct J wave or J-point elevation that is either a notch or a slur of the terminal part of the QRS entirely above the baseline, with or without ST-segment elevation. The peak of the notch or slur (Jp) should be ≥0.1 mV in two or more contiguous leads, excluding leads V1 to V2 (see Figure 1).1,2 Early repolarisation syndromes…

Ventricular arrhythmias are designated idiopathic when demonstrable structural heart disease, significant coronary disease including coronary spasm or genetic arrhythmia syndromes are absent.1 These arrhythmias may be benign but are also a recognised cause of sudden cardiac death. The common form of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) originates in the ventricular outflow tracts, manifest…

The link between sudden unexplained death in individuals with mental health problems who are administered antipsychotic drugs has been recognised for over a century.1 A clear relationship has emerged over the past 25 years between antipsychotic drugs, prolongation of the QT interval of the ECG, atypical polymorphic tachycardia known as torsade de pointes (TdP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). A…

With an ageing population and widespread use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, physicians are confronted with an increasing number of patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). Catheter ablation is an important treatment option in the management of patients with structural heart disease and VT.1,2 In many patients, VT can be successfully ablated from the…
