Comparison of Echocardiographic and Electrocardiographic Mapping for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Optimisation

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2019
Study hypothesis. We sought to investigate the association between echocardiographic optimisation and ventricular activation time in cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) patients, obtained through the use of electrocardiographic mapping (ECM).

Advanced Conduction Disease After Incident Heart Failure in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Figure. Advanced Conduction Disease After Incident HF in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. ABSTRACT Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with progressive cardiac conduction disease, heart failure (HF) and increased mortality. However, the association of incident HF with conduction disease and survival in DM1 is not well defined ...

CARDIAC RESYNCHRONISATION THERAPY: SELECTED PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DYSSYNCHRONY AND HEMODYNAMIC DISTURBANCES

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2012
Management of chronic heart failure (CHF) remains one of the most important problems in modern cardiology. Despite the recent pharmacotherapy successes, substantial numbers of CHF patients remain resistant to pharmaceutical treatment.

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

Panoramic voltage‐sensitive optical mapping of contracting hearts using cooperative multiview motion tracking with 12 cameras

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstact figure legend A panoramic 3D optical mapping system was developed, enabling imaging of action potential waves across the entire strongly deforming ventricular surface of beating isolated hearts. The system comprises 12 high‐speed cameras and a soccerball‐shaped imaging chamber with 48 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).

A qualitative study of decision-making about the implantation of cardioverter defibrillators and deactivation during end-of-life care

Health Services and Delivery Research, 2016
Background: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are recommended for patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death or for survivors of cardiac arrest. All ICDs combine a shock function with a pacing function to treat fast and slow heart rhythms,
