A decade of insertable cardiac monitors with remote monitoring in pediatric patients [PDF]
Background: Remote monitoring-enabled insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are useful tools for arrhythmias and symptom management. This study sought to evaluate the outcome of ICM implantation in a large, heterogeneous cohort of pediatric and young ...

Mitral valve perforation after left lateral accessory pathway ablation: a case report
Background Radiofrequency catheter ablation is considered to be a relatively safe procedure. This is an unusual case report in which severe mitral regurgitation was occurred after left lateral accessory pathway radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Background ICD patients with episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVT) are at risk of appropriate therapies. However, the relationship between the cycle length (CL) of such NSVTs and the subsequent incidence of appropriate interventions is

Clinical Genetics of Inherited Arrhythmogenic Disease in the Pediatric Population
Sudden death is a rare event in the pediatric population but with a social shock due to its presentation as the first symptom in previously healthy children. Comprehensive autopsy in pediatric cases identify an inconclusive cause in 40–50% of cases.

Characteristic of fibrotic myocardial lesions associated with life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies [PDF]
Aim. To identify the features of myocardial scar and fibrosis associated with the occurrence of malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) in high-risk patients with ischemic (ICMP) and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICMP). Materials and methods.

Zero-fluroscopy ablation for cardiac arrhythmias: A single-center experience in Mexico
Objective: Catheter ablation (CA) is a highly effective procedure for treating symptomatic tachyarrhythmias. However, the use of fluoroscopy, which is commonly employed in CA, exposes patients and medical personnel to ionizing radiation and its ...

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Effect of myocyte-fibroblast coupling on the onset of pathological dynamics in a model of ventricular tissue [PDF]
Managing lethal cardiac arrhythmias is one of the biggest challenges in modern cardiology, and hence it is very important to understand the factors underlying such arrhythmias.
