Feb 26th, 2021 - Tachyarrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms with a ventricular rate of 100 or more beats per minute. These rhythms are classified as either narrow or wide-complex tachycardia with further subdivision into regular or irregular rhythm. Patients are ...

Feb 26th, 2021 - This chapter describes what a channelopathy is and how mutations in the genes result in different types of clinical abnormalities. It provides a description of common types of cardiac channelopathies with examples of how there are some areas of ov...

Feb 26th, 2021 - To evaluate the feasibility, procedural data, and lesion characteristics of anterior line (AL) and roof line (RL) ablation by using ablation index (AI) guided high-power(50W) among patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial tachyca...

Feb 25th, 2021 - A 23-year-old woman with palpitations for 9 years was referred for catheter ablation. ECG showed an irregular narrow complex tachycardia with alternating and gradually changing QRS morphologies after alternating and changing RR intervals, with a c...

Feb 24th, 2021 - J-waves and fragmented-QRS (fQRS) on surface ECGs have been associated with the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Whether these non-invasive parameters can also predict ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence after radiofrequency cathete...

Jun 16th, 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...

Mar 8th, 2020 - The current definition of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) dates back to a small case series of patients with a subacute illness who presented with excessive orthostatic tachycardia and orthostatic intolerance, in the absence of an...

Aug 29th, 2019 - The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) released five separate guidelines covering dyslipidemias, supraventricular tachycardia, chronic coronary syndrome, acute pulmonary embolism, and diabetes as part of ESC Congress 2019 and published in the Eu...

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...

Feb 26th, 2021 - Tachyarrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms with a ventricular rate of 100 or more beats per minute. These rhythms are classified as either narrow or wide-complex tachycardia with further subdivision into regular or irregular rhythm. Patients are ...

Feb 15th, 2021 - The heart failure drug ivabradine (Corlanor) can provide relief from the elevated heart rate and often debilitating symptoms associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a new study suggests. Ivabradine significantly lowered s...

Jan 26th, 2021 - Lower-body compression best tackles the troublesome heart rate response and symptoms associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a small study suggests. POTS affects an estimated 1 million to 3 million Americans, predominantl...

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...

Aug 31st, 2020 - Discussion The diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome with atrial fibrillation was made on the basis of the patient's history in conjunction with the classic ECG findings in both figures. The history of previously undiagnosed paroxysms ...

Aug 18th, 2020 - A hospitalist looking at an EKG showing a narrow complex tachycardia needs to be able to come up with an accurate diagnosis of the rhythm pronto. And hospitalist Meghan Mary Walsh, MD, MPH, has developed a simple and efficient method for doing so ...
