An inappropriately–appropriate ICD therapy: What is the mechanism and what interventions can be done?

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message R‐wave double counting is a rare cause of ventricular oversensing that can lead to inappropriate shocks. Optimizing device programming is essential for the avoidance of subsequent inappropriate therapies.

Natural History of Arrhythmia After Successful Isolation of Pulmonary Veins, Left Atrial Posterior Wall, and Superior Vena Cava in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Multi‐Center Experience

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background We evaluated long‐term outcome of isolation of pulmonary veins, left atrial posterior wall, and superior vena cava, including time to recurrence and prevalent triggering foci at repeat ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ...

Mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015
AbstractBlood circulation is the result of the beating of the heart, which provides the mechanical force to pump oxygenated blood to, and deoxygenated blood away from, the peripheral tissues. This depends critically on the preceding electrical activation.

ICD Outcome in Pediatric Cardiomyopathies

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Background: Pediatric patients with cardiomyopathies are at risk of malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). An ICD may prevent SCD. The aim of this study was to evaluate ICD implantation outcomes, and to compare transvenous and subcutaneous

Fasciculoventricular bypass tracts: Electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic features

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
Fasciculoventricular accessory pathways are rare variants of preexcitation. The differential diagnosis of fasciculoventricular accessory pathways from other preexcitation variants can be challenging.

Impact of digital monitoring on compliance and outcome of lifestyle-change measures in patients with coexistent atrial fibrillation and obesity

Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal, 2022
Introduction: Obesity, a known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), is potentially reversible through lifestyle changes, including diet and physical activity. However, lack of compliance is a major obstacle in attaining sustained weight loss.

Genetics of cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

Heart, 2005
Over the last decade, we have witnessed a revolution in the understanding of primary cardiac arrhythmia syndromes. These remarkable advances stemmed from the discovery of mutations, primarily in ion channel genes, underlying a number of these disorders.
