Sudden cardiac death in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy

Indian Heart Journal, 2014
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important cause of mortality worldwide. Although SCD is most often associated with coronary heart disease, the risk of SCD in patients without ischemic heart disease is well-established.

Dynamic Behavior of Left Atrial Low‐Voltage Areas in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Implications for Substrate‐Guided Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Patient selection and analysis flow diagram. The exact pre‐inclusion denominator and reliable reason‐specific exclusion counts could not be reconstructed because a prospectively maintained screening log was unavailable. The diagram summarizes the final study cohort and analysis‐specific sample sizes. AF, atrial fibrillation; LVA, low‐voltage area; SR1,

High resolution systematic digital histological quantification of cardiac fibrosis and adipose tissue in phospholamban p.Arg14del mutation associated cardiomyopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Myocardial fibrosis can lead to heart failure and act as a substrate for cardiac arrhythmias. In dilated cardiomyopathy diffuse interstitial reactive fibrosis can be observed, whereas arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is characterized by fibrofatty ...

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Structural Heart Disease With LVEF > 35%: Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Patterns

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF > 35%), data on outcomes after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation remain limited. This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF > 35% within a secondary ...

Left Ventricular wall Thickness and Decrement Evoked Potentials in Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Preprocedural imaging can improve the success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify infarct regions. We sought to determine whether an association exists between left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) as obtained ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Atrial tachycardia in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2013
We describe a 49-year-old woman with atrial tachycardia (AT) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia. Cardiac magnetic resonance images showed a markedly dilated right atrium and right ventricle.

The role of extracellular vesicles in cell–cell crosstalk in cardiotoxicity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Administration of a pharmacological agent can result in off‐target cardiotoxicity which can be driven by cell–cell crosstalk between healthy and dysfunctional cardiac cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer structures that can move biological cargo between cells, facilitating cell–cell crosstalk.
