Jan 14th, 2021 - Background Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) has been used as a bailout strategy for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). Risk of VT recurrence in patients with scar-related monomorphic VT referred for CSD and the extent to which CSD can m...

Jan 14th, 2021 - Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) including premature ventricular complexes (PVC), and ventricular tachycardia (VT). The value of imaging with delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-C...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) may reduce the incidence of first ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) in patients with heart failure (HF) and left bundle-branch-block (LBBB). To assess the effect of CRT-D on VTA burden in LBB...

Jan 9th, 2021 - Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) has been shown to decrease VT recurrence and defibrillator shocks in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Here and in the accompanying Video, we de...

Jan 9th, 2021 - There are few reports on the benefits of catheter ablation (CA) in patients with electrical storm (ES). None of these publications included patients with Chagas disease (ChD). Our aims are to analyze (1) all the cases of ES treated with CA and (2)...

Jun 14th, 2020 - This Canadian Cardiovascular Society position statement is focused on the management of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) that occurs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), including previous myocar...

May 9th, 2019 - The consensus statement, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis published in conjunction with this document, serves as a resource guide and comprehensive review of the field for clinicians around the world who are working to improve...

Mar 18th, 2019 - Coronary artery disease is prevalent in different causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), especially in individuals presenting with shockable rhythms of ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT). The purpose of t...

Dec 20th, 2018 - Antiarrhythmic medications are commonly administered during and immediately after a ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest. However, it is unclear whether these medications improve patient outcomes. This 2018 Ame...

Jan 10th, 2021 - Isoproterenol hydrochloride injection is indicated: For mild or transient episodes of heart block that do not require electric shock or pacemaker therapy. For serious episodes of heart block and Adams-Stokes attacks (except when caused by ventricu...

Sep 9th, 2020 - Years ago, during training, I remember a colleague dissing an early model of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) because it was primitive. All it did was shock ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF).   Almost thr...

May 17th, 2020 - A technique borrowed from radiation oncology that takes the catheter out of catheter ablation continued to put in an impressive performance, observers say, in the longest yet follow-up of patients with intractable ventricular tachycardia (VT) who ...
