Trends in quantitative methods used for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia analyses
Background: Improved quantitative and computational research efforts would be useful for better and more accurate analysis of heart arrhythmias, and to target catheter ablation sites.

Atrial Tachycardias Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation [PDF]
One of the most important proarrhythmic complications after left atrial (LA) ablation is regular atrial tachycardia (AT) or flutter. Those tachycardias that occur after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can cause even more severe symptoms than those from the original arrhythmia prior to the index ablation procedure since they are often incessant and ...

Anatomic-electrophysiological correlations concerning the pathways for atrioventricular conduction. [PDF]
The remarkable success of radiofrequency ablation in recent decades in curing atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardias has intensified efforts to provide a solid theoretical basis for understanding the mechanisms of atrioventricular transmission ...

Completely nonfluoroscopic catheter ablation of left atrial arrhythmias and ventricular tachycardia
Fluoroscopy use during catheter ablation procedures increases the cumulative lifetime radiation exposure of patients and operators, potentially leading to a higher risk of cancer and radiation‐related injuries.

Cryoablation or Drug Therapy for Initial Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation may be more effective in maintaining sinus rhythm. METHODS We randomly

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment
Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

Although the diagnosis of wide-complex tachycardia (WCT) in the Electrophysiology Laboratory is usually straightforward, occasionally a WCT with 1:1 AV relationship can pose a diagnostic challenge.
