May 27th, 2020 - Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is being used in the management of refractory ventricular tachycardia and electrical storm. However, data on the role of CSD in the management of ventricular arrhythmia is limited. We performed a meta-analysis...

May 26th, 2020 - Mutations in LMNA cause an arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (cardiolaminopathy) with high risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, the natural history of VT amongst patients with cardiolaminopathy is incompletely understood. To describe the lon...

May 25th, 2020 - Remote magnetic navigation (RMN)-guided ablation has become an inspiring method of catheter ablation for tachyarrhythmias. Data from a large-scale single center may provide further insight into the safety of and the learning curve for RMN-guided a...

May 25th, 2020 - We aimed to describe the feasibility of a surgical left thoracotomy for catheter ablation of scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with inaccessible pericardial access. Pericardial adhesion due to prior cardiac surgery or previous ...

May 24th, 2020 - QTc interval prolongation can lead to life-threatening complications such as torsade de pointes (TdP), ventricular tachycardia (VT), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). It can occur with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) but comparative real-world ana...

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...

Nov 29th, 2018 - This European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2018 update is focused on the role of antiarrhythmic drugs during advanced life support for cardiac arrest with shock refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular ...

May 11th, 2017 - To assess the evidence and make evidence-based recommendations for acute interventions to reduce brain injury in adult patients who are comatose after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Published literature from 1966 to August 29, 2016, was...

May 27th, 2020 - Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is being used in the management of refractory ventricular tachycardia and electrical storm. However, data on the role of CSD in the management of ventricular arrhythmia is limited. We performed a meta-analysis...

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 ...

Apr 8th, 2020 - Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is associated with improved neurological outcomes, compared with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), even with prolonged resuscitation and progressive metabolic derangement, new researc...

Feb 9th, 2020 - One of the latest questions about postinfarction ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) addressed in a randomized trial isn't a new one: Should it be done preventively at the time of defibrillator implantation, or deferred until after the device...

Sep 18th, 2019 - A new case series raises the question of whether electronic gaming may cause ventricular arrhythmias and contribute to syncope in children with certain underlying conditions. The authors report on four instances of syncope resulting from ventricul...

Sep 18th, 2019 - While sports can be risky for kids with arrhythmogenic cardiac conditions, researchers are now reporting four cases in which video games triggered syncope from ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. In each case, it was a boy (ages 10 to 15) pla...
